Senior Full Stack Software Engineer

Empassion is a Management Services Organization (MSO) focused on improving the quality of care and costs on an often neglected “Advanced illness/ end of life” patient population, representing 4 percent of the Medicare population but 25 percent of its costs.

The impact is driven deeper by families who are left with minimal options and decreased time with their loved ones. Empassion enables increased access to tech-enabled proactive care while delivering superior outcomes for patients, their communities, the healthcare system, families, and society.

The Senior Full Stack Software Engineer will report directly to the Director of Technology, a seasoned technology leader with experience delivering high-quality software and managing engineering teams in high-growth environments.

This role requires ownership of critical engineering initiatives and driving delivery through both individual contribution and technical leadership / mentorship. You will work closely with a team of Full-Stack Engineers and collaborate with Data & Analytics and Clinical Operations teams to deliver impactful solutions. Remote Work & Travel

Empassion is a remote-first, fully distributed company across the United States, with a strong emphasis on asynchronous communication. While day-to-day work is remote, this role requires travel 3–4 times per year for company-wide and engineering off-sites, focused on strategy alignment, team culture, and complex problem solving.
