Member of Technical Staff, VA in Witney

Founded in 2018, Abridge is the first AI-native clinician intelligence platform organized around the patient, built for clinicians, and designed to help health systems coordinate the clinical, financial, and evidence-based decisions for every moment of care. Powered by purpose-built AI for healthcare, Abridge connects patients, providers, payers, and life sciences companies. This year, the platform will support more than 100 million patient-clinician conversations across more than 300 of the largest and most complex health systems in the U.S.

The Role

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our VA pod, the team bringing Abridge’s AI-powered clinical documentation to clinicians across the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. You’ll build and support the web applications, backend services, and EHR integrations that put Abridge in the hands of VA care teams, while meeting the security and compliance bar of a federal deployment. You’ll be writing code (mostly TypeScript), making architectural decisions, putting modern AI-driven development practices to work, and ensuring our systems scale reliably and securely for the Veterans who depend on them.

What You'll Do

• Scale up our business by designing, building, and supporting easy-to-use web applications, including both front-end features and the backend services and data models that power them.
• Make & implement technology decisions that support business needs without compromising security, privacy or quality.
• Enhance existing systems to add new functionality, and to improve performance, stability, quality, and security.
• Advocate for high standards; make quality-of-life improvements to the codebase; and help limit the growth of technical debt.
• Build deep user empathy and maintain a user-centric mindset.
• Communicate regularly and effectively within and on behalf of our cross-functional product delivery teams.
• Partner with VA clinical, technical, and security stakeholders to integrate with VA systems (including VistA and Oracle Health/Cerner) and deliver within a secure, compliant federal environment.

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years experience building, shipping and operating web applications at scale.
• Experience as a lead engineer on a major component or subsystem of a software platform, or as the lead for the platform itself.
• Excitement about working in our tech stack, which is primarily NodeJS (Typescript) and React running on Google Cloud (GCP).
• Ability to act with autonomy & self-direction while working well in a team environment.
• Willingness to pitch in wherever needed.
• Fluent in the latest AI-driven development practices, using AI coding agents and tools to ship high-quality software quickly and safely.

Nice to Haves

• EHR integration experience (e.g., Epic, VistA, Cerner).
• Experience working with government entities, such as the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
