Logistics Research Team - Software Engineer (Mid-Level)

We’re hiring a Software Engineer to join our Logistics Optimization team, where we tackle some of the hardest algorithmic and operational problems in healthcare. You’ll design systems that balance clinician supply, patient demand, and routing efficiency—essentially the logistics backbone of Sprinter’s in-home care delivery model. This is a deeply technical, high-impact role where you’ll work on problems at the intersection of operations research, simulation, and scalable distributed systems.

Hybrid & Office Experience

We operate on a hybrid schedule, working from the office Monday through Thursday, with Fridays designated as work-from-anywhere days.

We care deeply about work-life balance and are happy to provide flexibility when life happens. We ask that employees be in the office Monday through Thursday to collaborate with their teams while maintaining flexibility where it matters most.

Lunch is provided every day, and the entire team takes an hour to eat together. It's one of the ways we stay connected outside of meetings. You'll usually find us playing a board game before getting back to work.

What will you do:

Design and implement algorithms that optimize clinician routing, scheduling, and dispatch at national scale

Build simulations that model demand, capacity, and patient behavior under real-world constraints

Develop predictive models for cancellations, no-shows, and overbooking optimization

Collaborate with product and ops teams to translate complex logistics challenges into scalable software systems

Prototype and productionize forecasting and optimization models in a distributed environment

Own projects end-to-end—from design to implementation and iteration

What you have done:

2-3 years of software engineering experience with strong backend or full-stack fundamentals

Proficiency in JavaScript / TypeScript (preferred) and/or Python

Experience designing or implementing optimization, forecasting, or simulation systems

Background in operations research, applied math, or quantitative modeling

Shipped production systems that balance technical complexity and real-world constraints

Collaborated cross-functionally with product, ops, or data science teams to drive measurable impact

What gives you an edge:

Experience with global optimization techniques or Monte Carlo simulations

Background in logistics, scheduling, or large-scale routing systems

Prior work in healthcare or other operationally complex, data-heavy environments

Experience in 0→1 environments or scaling early-stage technical systems

You’re motivated by solving real problems that improve access to care

Our tech stack:

TypeScript / Node.js

Python

GraphQL

AWS Amplify Stack (AppSync, DynamoDB, Lambda, CloudFormation)

BigQuery, Elasticsearch / OpenSearch
