Software Engineer (Backend) (offline) $5000-8000

Who We Are at Virgil

Virgil is a tech-forward provider of adult behavioral therapy across the United States. We believe that patients, clinicians, and insurers all deserve a better healthcare experience, so we built one.

Our mission is to provide personalized, technology-empowered care for adults struggling with behavioral disorders in the environment best suited to help them - their home or ours.

We’re looking to rapidly grow our team with values-driven, diverse, caring professionals to help us.

What You’ll Do

- Design and implement backend software systems that support our families, providers, and Virgil administrators
- Work closely with front-end engineers to seamlessly integrate backend APIs
- Uphold standards for quality by performing code reviews, fixing bugs, creating automated tests, and monitoring performance
- Work closely with other engineers, product managers, and designers to collaborate on the features that will help our users
- Support uptime through participation in engineering on-call rotations

What You’ll Need

- Proficiency in any modern programming language such as Kotlin, Go, Python, Ruby, Java, Rust, etc. with the ability to write clean, scalable code
- Being language agnostic
- You have software development experience in TDD techniques
- Being acclimated to agile methodologies
- Experience building APIs and associated authentication mechanisms
- You can work cross-functionally with product managers, designers, and other engineers to break down product requirements and maintain visibility on your work
- Some experience across full-stack development is a plus - maybe you haven’t mastered any one side but you have a breadth of understanding that is useful
- You’re proactive about asking questions and challenging feature ideas and have a desire to always ensure we’re building the right solutions (and are vocal about ensuring we do)

We don’t expect complex algorithms. This is not crucial if you don’t use Kotlin, but on this site, you are ready to learn and spend some free time to get up to speed.

Conditions

- 100% remote work
- The work schedule is flexible, nevertheless, as a team, we need to meet at some time and it needs to be around these hours of 1 PM — 5 PM UTC, every day
- We decided to use existing software as far as possible for the frontend and backend
- No legacy code
- Work with minimum or even without supervision and you take responsibility for the consequences
- You are a part of the whole puzzle, a part of the process of building an organization from the ground up

We are a globally distributed team with many of our team members located in the following cities: San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Montreal, and Kyiv. While everyone currently works remotely, we envision a future that balances face to face collaboration with a remote friendly environment.
