Staff Software Engineer, Backend
ro
This is a role where your code reaches millions of patients. Ro is rebuilding healthcare from the ground up, and backend engineers are central to that mission. As a recent grad, joining a company this early in its scaling phase means you'll see the direct impact of your work—and grow faster than you would at a mature company.
You'll work on high-concurrency systems across a vertically integrated platform that connects telehealth, diagnostics, pharmacy, and logistics. Your job: solve complex problems, ship quickly, own systems end-to-end from architecture to production, and work alongside experienced engineers and clinicians. This isn't just infrastructure work—it's healthcare infrastructure.
You're a fit if you have a strong foundation in backend development, can think through system design, and care about the why behind your code. Computer science or engineering background helps, but what matters more is that you're curious about building at scale and want to work on something real.

About this role
Join Tech @ Ro to build the future of healthcare, from the ground up! At Ro, we believe that when people achieve their health goals, they can achieve their life goals. The highest-leverage way to move society forward is to give people their health, and the current healthcare system isn’t built to do that. It was built to bill, not to serve patients. We’re building a new system. One where the patient is in control. One designed from scratch for the digital age. At Ro, technology isn’t just a function… It's core to how we deliver care. We’ve built a vertically integrated healthcare platform that connects telehealth, diagnostics, pharmacy, and logistics into a seamless, end-to-end experience for millions of patients. …and we’re just getting started. As part of Tech @ Ro, you’ll work on systems that operate at scale, with an opportunity to: Solve complex, high-concurrency problems across a full-stack platform Build and ship quickly with tight feedback loops and real-world impact Own systems end-to-end, from architecture to production performance Work alongside experienced operators, technical leaders, and clinicians Help define how modern healthcare should be delivered We’re a performance-driven team with a strong sense of ownership and urgency. We move fast, learn quickly, and hold a high bar for what we build, and do so with a big heart — because patients depend on it. If you’re motivated by impact, scale, and the chance to help lead the patient revolution, come build with us. The Role We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join the team at Ro. In this role, you will operate as a technical leader, mentor, and architect — helping shape the future of our platform and driving the delivery of systems that directly impact patients and providers. You will partner closely with other engineers, product managers, designers, and cross-functional leads to define and deliver technical roadmaps that balance immediate product needs with long-term technical stability, scalability, and maintainability. As a Staff Engineer, you will not only design and build robust distributed systems but also mentor engineers, influence engineering culture, and play a key role in technical decision-making. If you thrive in complex problem spaces, enjoy shaping technical direction at scale, and are motivated by the opportunity to improve healthcare through technology, we’d love to hear from you.
