Candidate must be located in New York/ relocate to New York

Storm3 has partnered with a well-funded, mission-driven startup to find their next Founding Software Engineer — a builder who wants to leave fingerprints all over the product, the codebase, and the culture.

This isn’t a “pick up a ticket and grind” role. It’s a rare, ground-floor opportunity to help define how a fast-moving healthcare-tech company builds, ships, and scales. If you love shipping production code from day one, wearing five hats before lunch, and having your ideas actually matter — keep reading. 👇

💻 What You’ll Do

• Ship from day one. Develop, test, and release new features with real ownership and real impact.
• Live across the full stack. Backend, frontend, infrastructure, architecture, analytics, integrations — you’ll touch it all.
• Turn messy data into magic. Design data structures and parse complex healthcare datasets to surface insights that genuinely move the needle.
• Raise the bar. Drive code reviews, architecture debates, and the technical decisions that keep the codebase clean, stable, and built to last.
• Own problems end-to-end. Talk to customers, shape the product roadmap, iterate on UX — this is your playground.
• Build shoulder-to-shoulder. Hybrid setup in NYC, collaborating in person with a tight, talented team.

🎯 What You Bring

• 2+ years as a full-time, full-stack TypeScript engineer (back-end leaning).
• Strong hands-on experience with React, TypeScript, and Node.js.
• Healthcare or fintech experience preferred.
• Power-user of AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) — you build fast and smart.
• Ideally 1+ year at a venture-backed startup (pre-Series B).
• A knack for turning unstructured, complex datasets into business insights.
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code, LLMs, and cloud-based data pipelines.
• Able to work hybrid — 4 days/week in NYC (Union Square).
• Authorized to work in the U.S.

💰 Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: $130K–$200K (mid-level & senior bands — exceptional candidates with higher YOE may be considered at principal level).
• Competitive equity — real ownership in what you help build.
• Fully covered health insurance + a competitive stipend for dental, co-pays, and more (ICHRA).
• 401(k).
• Flexible PTO we actually take (encouraged minimum of 15 days 🌴).
• Lunch on us, Monday–Thursday 🍽️.
• Commuter benefits, brand-new equipment, and a fully kitted-out workstation.
