Full Stack Software Engineer (Mid to Senior Level)

About Paytient:
We’re on a mission to help people better access and afford care.  

Every day, millions of people, and their loved ones, need to see a doctor. For most of us, that moment is an uncertain one - we’re unsure of what’s wrong, who to go to, how long it’ll take to be seen, when we’ll feel better, and what it’ll cost.

Paytient partners with thoughtful employers and health plans who understand the impact of that moment and want to ensure that every one of their plan members are easily able to access and afford care. Our clients understand that an improved ability to self-pay for care changes patient behavior and creates value for the health plan.  This founding belief is becoming an emerging standard of care in health plan design and is now, in fact, a mandatory capability in some governmental health plans. Founded in 2018, Paytient is now part of nearly 6,000 employer health plans and providing certainty that people are better able to access and afford care.

About The Role:

We’re looking for Full Stack Software Engineers—both mid-level and senior—who are motivated by solving big challenges and passionate about working closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to build elegant software. If you’re excited about working at a high-growth, venture-backed company and want to make an impact by building products that help people, we’d love to hear from you!

In this role, you'll work across the full stack, contributing to both frontend (React/React Native) and backend (Java/Spring Boot) applications. While we don’t expect you to be an expert in both, experience with either frontend or backend development in our stack is required, with a willingness to learn the other. We have multiple openings across our Product Engineering teams, so this role is not tied to one specific team.

Our “remote with roots” model allows us to work where we thrive and gather as needed, often in our home office in Columbia, Missouri. This role can be performed from anywhere in the continental U.S., with the exception of Montana.

What You'll Do:

• Collaborate with product managers, designers, and engineers to build user-friendly, scalable applications.

• Work across the React/React Native frontend and Java/Spring Boot backend (experience in one is required).

• Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code that balances performance and usability.

• Participate in code reviews, technical discussions, and architecture decisions to improve our systems.

• Contribute to a cross-functional, matrixed environment, helping to build and scale our products.

• Have the opportunity to work in a modern, cloud-native environment that leverages infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, and other automation to support rapid, high-quality delivery.

Senior engineers will additionally:

• Lead initiatives and own complex technical projects from concept through delivery.

• Provide technical mentorship and guidance to other engineers.

• Influence architectural decisions and contribute to long-term technical strategy.

What You'll Bring:

• Mid-level candidates: 2–4 years of professional experience as a Software Engineer.

• Senior candidates: 4+ years of professional experience with a proven track record of impact and leadership.

• Strong problem-solving skills, curiosity, and ability to work through complex challenges.

• Experience with React/React Native or Java/Spring Boot, with a willingness to learn both.

• Comfort working in a cross-functional environment, collaborating with teams like Product and Design.

• Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively in a remote or hybrid setting.

• Preferred: Experience in fintech, healthcare, or benefits administration.

If you’re excited to tackle interesting engineering challenges, build meaningful products, and grow your career, we’d love to hear from you!
