Product Engineer
(Full-Stack & AI)

About Us

Healing Track is an early-stage digital health startup transforming chronic pain treatment through Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), a neuroscience-based approach. In a randomized clinical trial published in JAMA Psychiatry, 66% of participants receiving PRT were pain-free or nearly pain-free after treatment.

Our platform is live in a clinical setting. We're building engaging, personalized experiences—including AI-powered coaching—to help more people take an active role in recovery.

The Role

We're seeking a product-minded engineer with strong front-end skills who can build intuitive patient experiences, work across our full stack, and help develop AI-enabled features. You'll collaborate directly with product, design, and clinical leadership and have meaningful responsibility and autonomy.

You'll be our primary full-time engineer, with experienced external partners supporting infrastructure, security, architecture, and specialized needs. We welcome exceptional candidates at different career stages; demonstrated ability matters more than credentials or years of experience.

What You'll Work On

• Build accessible, responsive React/TypeScript experiences; contribute UX improvements, not just implementation.
• Develop Python/FastAPI backend features, PostgreSQL data integrations, and secure third-party API connections.
• Help create conversational AI and personalization features using LLM integrations.
• Write unit, integration, and end-to-end tests; maintain clear code, documentation, and architectural conventions.
• Use agentic coding tools for implementation, debugging, testing, and refactoring, while critically reviewing their output.
• Support application performance and reliability; partner with external experts on complex infrastructure and security work.

Our Technology

Our core application uses React, TypeScript, Python, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL. We're developing AI-powered coaching and personalization features using large language models. Familiarity with every tool is not expected; the ability to learn quickly is.

What We're Looking For

• Strong React/TypeScript and modern front-end engineering skills, with a track record of polished, usable interfaces.
• Good UX judgment and accessibility fundamentals, including semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, and WCAG principles.
• Solid Python skills and experience connecting front-end applications to backend services, APIs, and authentication.
• Experience integrating LLMs or AI capabilities through professional, academic, internship, or independent projects.
• Fluency with agentic coding tools (such as Claude Code or Cursor), plus the judgment to validate generated code.
• A commitment to automated testing, readable and maintainable code, technical documentation, and security fundamentals.
• Independent problem-solving, effective collaboration, and knowing when to seek specialized expertise.

Nice to Have

FastAPI, PostgreSQL, AWS/cloud services, CI/CD, modern test frameworks (such as Playwright, Vitest, or pytest), AI evaluation and observability, conversational AI, Figma/design systems, or experience in healthcare or other regulated industries.

Who Thrives Here

You enjoy the opportunities and challenges of an early-stage startup: autonomy, rapid iteration, limited bureaucracy, and shifting priorities. You care deeply about the people using your software, ask good questions, and are excited to make a direct impact on a product that helps people living with chronic pain.

We welcome applicants from varied backgrounds and career stages who can demonstrate thoughtful, reliable software development and enthusiasm for our mission.

Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. without current or future employer visa sponsorship.
