Backend Software Engineer (Remote)

Changing Healthcare For Good

At Angle Health, we believe the healthcare system should be accessible, transparent, and easy to navigate. As a digital-first, data-driven health plan, we are replacing legacy systems with modern infrastructure to deliver our members the care they need when they need it. If you want to build the future of healthcare, we'd love for you to join us.

The Role
As an early engineer at Angle, you'll play a key role in architecting and scaling the core backend infrastructure that powers our healthcare platform. This is an opportunity to build systems from the ground up—designing APIs, structuring data models, and optimizing performance to support a high-growth company.

You'll work closely with product owners, designers, and other engineers to bring new features to life, ensuring our systems are both scalable and reliable. From architecting backend services to debugging performance bottlenecks, you’ll have full ownership of the product lifecycle—shaping everything from system design to implementation.

This role is perfect for engineers who love tackling complex problems in a fast-paced environment, enjoy working with cross-functional teams, and want to see their work directly impact the future of healthcare. If you're excited by the challenge of building high-performance backend systems at scale, we'd love to have you on board.
