We do this through our app-based marketplace that connects healthcare professionals with the workplaces that need amazing workers. This enables hundreds of thousands of people to achieve financial stability for themselves and their families while providing essential care to millions of people across the U.S. Founded in 2016, we are a remote-first team of over 1,000 people building a top Y-Combinator company https://www.ycombinator.com/topcompanies/ and have been profitable since 2022. We’re the leader in Long-Term Care staffing and are rapidly expanding into Home Health, Hospitals, and more, meaning we have more work to do than people to do it, and are growing our team to support millions more people and their communities.

Our engineers are technically strong and own the full software development lifecycle, from design and implementation through deployment and ongoing support. They have real autonomy over their work and are expected to take full ownership of what they build. They also work closely with product and operations, and also directly with customers, solving complex marketplace and operational problems that impact thousands of healthcare workers and facilities every day.

We currently have eight teams and we expect more as we continue to grow and expand into new areas of the business. Some teams work on systems where correctness is critical such as payouts, invoicing, and fraud prevention. Other teams focus on direct customer-facing parts of the marketplace, where the work involves a lot of operational complexity and fast iteration. We also have teams building new product areas from scratch, where there is more ambiguity. There will also be opportunities to lead experimental strike teams focused on high-priority, greenfield initiatives that require fast execution and strong ownership. While each team owns a different problem space, the way we operate is fairly consiste
