Software Engineer, Patient Experience

About us

Pomelo Care is the national leader in evidence-based healthcare for women and children. We deliver personalized, high-quality clinical interventions from reproductive care and pregnancy, infant care and pediatrics, to hormonal health through perimenopause and menopause, with long-term preventive care and condition management. Our model delivers 24/7 multispecialty care to address the medical, behavioral, and social factors that most significantly impact outcomes for women and children. We partner with payers, employers, and providers to expand access to quality healthcare across the system.

Our engineering team is the engine behind our virtual care platform, building AI-powered solutions that transform care delivery and create exceptional experiences for both patients and clinicians. If you're passionate about using technology to do real, tangible good in the world, we'd love to meet you.

We are a remote-first company with offices in New York and San Francisco. Our New York office has a strong in-person culture with regular collaboration, and our San Francisco office is available for those who enjoy working together in person.

Why This Role Matters

Everything we do at Pomelo starts with the patient. If patients aren't engaged, connected, and supported from day one, none of our clinical interventions matter. The Patient Experience team owns the surface area where patients interact with Pomelo: the mobile app, the web experience, enrollment flows, and the features that keep people coming back. You'll build things that patients actually use every day during some of the most important moments of their lives.

What You'll Do

• Build and prototype full-stack features in our patient mobile and web apps, working closely with design and product to ship things patients love
• Shape how patients experience Pomelo from their very first interaction, making enrollment and early engagement feel seamless and personal
• Craft accessible, polished user experiences that work for all of our patients, including those who may not be tech-savvy
• Take ownership of large product areas end-to-end, from technical design through shipping and iteration
• Sit at the intersection of product, design, and clinical care, turning real patient needs into features that improve outcomes

Problems You'll Dig Into

• How do we get patients proactively engaged in their own care?
• How do we personalize the patient experience to specific needs and interests while meaningfully moving outcomes?
• How do we build habits so that patients check in with us first when problems come up during their pregnancy?
• How do we keep patients engaged without always requiring direct clinical intervention?
