Full Stack Engineer (contract) - Remote Eligible

Full Stack Engineer (Contract)

We're looking for two Full Stack Engineers to join a high-impact healthcare technology project. You'll help build and scale a benefits platform that makes it easier for people to access life-saving medications. This platform is preparing for significant growth and seasonal demand in early 2026 - and you'll be part of the team driving performance, new feature development, and real-time integrations.

This is an opportunity to work with a modern tech stack (Next.js, Node.js/TypeScript, AWS Lambda), contribute directly to product features that matter, and operate in a collaborative, async-first environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Optimize data loading and UI rendering for scale
• Build new, customer-facing user interfaces with Next.js
• Integrate machine learning predictions into user views
• Connect the platform to external REST APIs for real-time insights
• Capture usage metrics and display through Datadog dashboards
• Contribute to an agile delivery model (two-week sprints, daily standups, async collaboration)
• Own your work end-to-end: from planning, to building, to testing (no separate QA or BA teams)

What We're Looking For

Must-Have Experience:

• 3–6 years as a Full Stack Engineer
• Next.js (React) for modern front-end development
• Node.js + TypeScript, with hands-on AWS Lambda experience
• Strong understanding of modern web development and data structures
• Comfortable working independently and testing your own code

Nice-to-Haves:

• Familiarity with PostgreSQL and writing efficient queries
• Experience with SST (Serverless Stack) or other IaC frameworks
• Knowledge of Datadog instrumentation
• Previous work in healthtech or benefits platforms

Tools & Environment

• Node.js / TypeScript
• Next.js (React)
• PostgreSQL
• AWS Lambda, Middy
• SST (Infrastructure as Code)
• Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket
• Established CI/CD pipelines

Why This Project is Exciting

• High Impact: Your work will directly improve patient access to critical medication
• Modern Stack: No legacy baggage, you'll work with the latest frameworks and cloud-native tools
• Autonomy & Ownership: Define, build, and deliver features in a team that values independence and results

Logistics

• Remote, with strong overlap required in US time zones (PST/CST)
• Contract through February 2026, with potential to extend
• Start ASAP (ideally within 2 weeks)

Hiring Process

1. Virtasant technical screen (includes Codabyte assessment)
2. Single 45-minute client team interview (no live coding test)
3. Offer & onboarding
