Talkiatry

Senior Software Engineer

Talkiatry • US
TypeScript Hybrid
Talkiatry transforms psychiatry with accessible, human, and responsible care. We’re a national mental health practice co-founded by a patient and a triple-board-certified psychiatrist to solve the problems both groups face in accessing and providing the highest quality treatment.
60% of adults in the U.S. with a diagnosable mental illness go untreated every year because care is inaccessible, while 45% of clinicians are out of network with insurers because reimbursement rates are low, and paperwork is unduly burdensome.   With innovative technology and a human-centered philosophy, we provide patients with the care they need—and allow psychiatrists to focus on why they got into medicine.

About The Role

  • We’re looking for Senior Full-Stack Engineers to join our patient facing teams. These teams own the entire patient experience, from new patient outreach through to visits and medication refills. Our teams are growth-focused and play a pivotal role in Talkiatry’s mission.
  • As a senior engineer, you’ll lead development of new features and systems that improve patient conversion rates, streamline the onboarding process, and ensure a safe and seamless digital care experience. You’ll collaborate closely with product, design, and data to design and build reliable, extensible, and maintainable systems in TypeScript across both frontend and backend, running on AWS.
  • What You'll Do

  • Lead the design, development, and rollout of key product features and large-scale initiatives that directly impact patient growth and conversion.
  • Write clear technical specifications, define architecture, and identify risks before project kickoffs.
  • Champion engineering best practices—including code reviews, documentation, testing, and postmortems—to improve team efficiency and code quality.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, designers, and analysts to translate growth goals into actionable, measurable features.
  • Contribute across the stack: from building intuitive frontend experiences in React/TypeScript to designing robust backend services and APIs.
  • Drive simplicity and scalability in system design to support rapid growth while maintaining reliability.
  • Mentor teammates and, as needed, take on tech lead responsibilities for high-impact initiatives.
  • What We're Looking For

  • 5+ years of professional software development experience.
  • Strong expertise in TypeScript and modern frontend frameworks (React preferred).
  • Solid experience building backend services in TypeScript (Node.js, Express, or similar).
  • Demonstrated ability to deliver complex projects from design through production.
  • Experience collaborating with product and growth teams to design A/B tests, measure outcomes, and iterate quickly.
  • Excellent communication and documentation skills.
  • A bias for reducing complexity, improving systems, and mentoring others.
  • Why You'll Love Working Here

  • Meaningful mission—your work directly helps people access life-changing care.
  • Supportive and collaborative engineering culture that values craftsmanship and learning.
  • Opportunities for leadership growth and high-impact ownership.
  • Competitive compensation, benefits, and remote flexibility.
