About Ophelia

Are you looking for a role in a company that's solving one of the greatest challenges of our lifetime? Ophelia helps people end their opioid use and restore their quality of life with respect for their time and dignity. Our mission is to make evidence-based treatments for opioid use disorder (OUD) accessible to everyone... and we're looking to bring more people onto our team to help us achieve it.

Ophelia is a venture-backed, healthcare startup that helps individuals with OUD by providing FDA-approved medication and clinical care through a telehealth platform. Our approach is discreet, convenient, and affordable. We've been successfully operating in 14 states for almost four years and we're excited to continue our growth. We are a team of doctors, scientists, startup veterans, and White House advisors, backed by leading technology and healthcare investors working to re-imagine and re-build OUD treatment in America.

About the Role

As a Software Engineer II at Ophelia, you will play a key role in developing innovative, compliant solutions to support our mission of treating opioid use disorder through telehealth. You'll work across the stack with an emphasis on front-end applications using our core technologies: Typescript, React, and Firestore on GCP. Your work will have a direct impact on patients, clinicians, and our ability to scale.

In this role, you'll work through the full product cycle—from inception to results—taking responsibility for your work and driving projects autonomously in our remote environment. You’ll collaborate deeply with cross-functional teams, including clinicians and non-technical stakeholders, to ensure our products meet the needs of both users and the business. Flexibility will be key, as you will help tackle ambiguous challenges in a fast-evolving, growth-stage company.

Other responsibilities include continuously improving our systems through code reviews, debugging, refactoring, and system maintenance while advocating for best practices to maintain code quality and performance. Your role also involves staying update-to-date on emerging industry trends and technologies, bringing new ideas to drive innovation in product design and development.

Together, we will help hard-to-reach individuals treat their opioid dependence. While direct experience in this treatment area is not mandatory, knowledge of the healthcare space, including understanding health outcomes, benchmarks, systems, and regulatory compliance (HIPAA), is highly beneficial.

What you'll work on:

• Develop across the stac k, with an emphasis on increasing capabilities of front-end apps, delivering impact wherever the team needs. Our core technologies are Typescript, React, and Firestore, in Google Cloud Platform.
• Take ownership of your work , driving projects from inception to impact. Autonomy, proactive communication, and collaboration are key in our remote environment.
• Practice flexibility in our growth-stage company. We’re learning and growing everyday, and with that, our approaches and focus will evolve. We seek to adapt in the face of ambiguous, new challenges.
• Collaborate cross-functionally in both sourcing new ideas and implementing improvements from our amazing community of clinicians. You’ll get to work directly with our technical and non-technical teams to build the next generation of our products.
• Improve quality continuously through healthy software development habits and communicating issues. Use code reviews, quality assurance work, bug fixing, debugging, system maintenance, and refactoring as primary tools to enhance systems.
• Stay current with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices to drive innovation and excellence in product design and implementation.

What we're looking for:

• 4+ years experience in engineering , ideally with a portion at a growth stage company with bespoke systems
• Independent problem-solving skills of simple-to-moderately complex technical challenges, debugging issues, and optimizing performance across a full stack, cloud-based application
• Product-minded orientation , with an eye towards the customer and a habit of seeking the tightest scope (MVP) that will deliver solutions to business problems quickly
• Experience in true agile practice including highly collaborative development, value-driven with hypotheses and experiment design, and an overall iterative development mindset
• Stellar collaboration and communications with a habit of effectively communicating technical concepts and progress with teammates and stakeholders
• Habits of a technician including constant improvement, learning, measurement, and objective, reasoned thinking
• Passionate about our mission to make evidence-based addiction treatment universally accessible
• (Not required, but ideal) Background in a regulated industry, ideally healthcare — telehealth is a big plus! — and can bring a thoughtful approach to compliant, private, secure software that remains nimble and modern
