Software Engineer DOLCE

We're looking for a Full Stack Engineer to join our Platform and Internal Tools team, the team responsible for services connecting third-party systems and data sources to product surfaces, as well as internal tooling for clinical providers and patient care coordinators. This team plays a pivotal role in Talkiatry's mission by creating and maintaining the technical infrastructure and tooling that allows us to efficiently match and book patients with providers, support providers in delivering great care, and allow our staff to quickly and effectively assist patients with problems. As an engineer on this team, you'll work on the problems involved in improving and optimizing healthcare delivery. You'll co-own systems that synchronize patient data across multiple platforms and data sources, solve integration challenges, and build tools that clinicians depend on to manage their patients and their day. You'll collaborate closely with product, design, and data to design and build reliable, extensible, and maintainable systems in TypeScript across both backend and frontend (running on AWS). Our team lives by the motto penned by Piet Hein: "Problems worthy of attack prove their worth by hitting back"—and that’s the kind of problems we like to solve. The challenges are meaningful precisely because patient care depends on getting them right.

About Talkiatry:

Talkiatry is transforming mental health care by making high-quality psychiatry more accessible, human, and sustainable for both patients and clinicians. Co-founded by a patient and a triple-board-certified psychiatrist, we were built to solve one of healthcare’s most urgent challenges: millions of people struggle to access mental health care, while clinicians face growing administrative burden and burnout. Through our technology-powered, in-network platform, we’re changing that, creating a better experience for patients and empowering clinicians to focus on delivering exceptional care.

Today, Talkiatry is the largest dedicated psychiatry practice in the U.S., with 900+ psychiatrists, 400+ therapists, and more than 4 million patient visits delivered nationwide. At our scale, every innovation has real impact. Every workflow we improve, every technology solution we build, and every patient experience we redesign helps thousands of clinicians provide better care to hundreds of thousands of patients. We’re not just growing quickly — we’re redefining how behavioral healthcare is delivered in America.

Joining Talkiatry means joining a mission-driven team that is solving complex problems at scale, driving meaningful change in healthcare, and building the future of mental health care with compassion, innovation, and purpose.

You will:

• Contribute to the design, development, and rollout of core technical features and large-scale initiatives that directly impact the efficiency and quality of patient care.

• Write clear technical specifications, define architecture, and identify risks before project kickoffs.

• Take part in 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 business needs into actionable, measurable features.

• Contribute across the stack: from building robust backend services and APIs to creating intuitive frontend tooling in React/TypeScript.

• Drive simplicity and scalability in system design to maintain reliability and implementation velocity.

• Mentor teammates and take active parts in high-impact initiatives.

You have:

• 1-3+ years of professional software development experience.

• Demonstrated ability to deliver complex projects from design through production.

• Experience collaborating with product and other engineering teams, measuring outcomes, and iterating quickly.

• Excellent communication and documentation skills.

• A bias for reducing complexity, improving systems, and mentoring others.
