Staff Software Engineer

Omada Health is on a mission to bend the curve of chronic disease. Job Overview: We are hiring a Staff Software Engineer to help expand Omada’s footprint in cardiometabolic care and physical activity. This is early-stage, high-ownership work: you’ll shape how we build new member- and care team-facing experiences in this space and set the technical foundation for where we take it next. You’ll operate primarily in the backend while bringing the adaptability to work across the stack when the problem calls for it. You should be comfortable learning new systems quickly, using modern engineering and AI-assisted tools thoughtfully, and making pragmatic technical choices in ambiguous spaces. You’ll own architecture end to end, set the quality bar, and help other engineers make better technical decisions while turning complex product opportunities into shipped, reliable systems. About you: You work with empathy for your coworkers, stakeholders and users. You are excited to work cross-functionally with a variety of people and ideas. You work directly with stakeholders to design solutions and drive the technical decisions for delivery. You proactively keep up with technology trends and can assess technical trade-offs between solutions across service boundaries. You care about writing quality software and recognize that there are often many right answers. You are excited about the challenge of learning new technologies and context. Above all, you are enthusiastic about providing the best possible care for our members. What you’ll be doing: Partner with product, clinical, and cross-functional teams to turn vision into shipped product. Own architecture and technical direction end to end for new member- and care team-facing experiences. Apply broad technical judgment across languages, frameworks, and systems, using modern engineering and AI-assisted tools to quickly build context, evaluate tradeoffs, and guide delivery. Set the quality bar: clean, well-tested, scalable code others build on. Lead and multiply the team—mentor engineers, remove ambiguity, ship fast. Set 6–12 month technical direction and spot high-value work before it’s on the roadmap. What you need for this role : 10+ years of experience writing readable, tested, and efficient code A polyglot builder mindset: strong in at least one of our modern backend languages but able to move fluidly across the stack optimizing for shipping the right solution Experience with Ruby on Rails Experience with a relational database (PostgreSQL, MySQL) Experience with designing scalable, maintainable and secure APIs
