Senior Software Engineer (Haskell/Functional Programming)

Well is on a mission to transform healthcare through a consumer health engagement platform that integrates various services. The Senior Software Engineer will lead the development of this technology platform, collaborating with a diverse team to design and implement product features that enhance user engagement and health outcomes.

Responsibilities:

• Own substantial workstreams, including both new user-facing features and improvements on our existing services ecosystem
• Break down problems into a cogent execution plan and then deliver on that plan with high quality maintainable code
• Collaborate with a team of fellow Haskellers, mobile, backend and data science practitioners to create and deliver a seamless, tailored experience for our users
• Contribute substantially to platform architectural decisions and enhance our team’s ability to make correct decisions that stand the test of time
• Help build and maintain internal administrative applications that support core functioning of our technology platform
• Help us achieve operational excellence in software development by participating in and leading code reviews, quality assurance, and production monitoring
• Take personal responsibility for achieving and maintaining Engineering momentum in a Healthcare environment that prioritizes security, privacy and compliance with HIPAA guidelines as well as a variety of best practices

Requirements:

• Expertise in the principled delivery of production software using functional programming concepts (such as immutability and advanced type systems)
• Proven knowledge of Haskell in particular (though not necessarily in production)
• Broad understanding of multiple programming languages and paradigms to ensure effective collaboration across our diverse mobile, backend, and data science teams
• Enthusiastic about leveraging LLMs to accelerate development, while maintaining uncompromising standards for delivering succinct, maintainable, slop-free code
• Driven to explore and adopt new patterns, languages, and methodologies, actively contributing to our evolving engineering culture rather than relying on the status quo
• Experience in building systems that are data-driven and interact with a variety of external sources, including databases and their tradeoffs, streaming solutions and APIs
• Good understanding of both microservices and monolith patterns with insight into the choices and tradeoffs involved
• Experience with modern cloud platforms; AWS, GCP, Azure
• Experience in Healthcare contexts
• Good understanding of security principles in software development broadly and as specifically applied to consumer-facing applications
• Degree and background in a related field such as Computer Science, Engineering or a quantitative discipline with strong demonstrated practical experience
