About the role

Tyro Health is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help us build and scale the claiming and payment experiences that make healthcare easier for providers and patients.



This is a full‑stack role with a strong backend focus- we’re looking for someone who thinks deeply about correctness, resilience and how services behave in production. You’ll stay hands‑on while owning significant technical work, shaping technical direction and helping us mature our approach to reliability, observability and production operations. You’ll also mentor engineers and raise the technical bar across the team.

What you'll do

- Backend Ownership: Design, build and operate the services behind Tyro Health’s claiming and payment flows, with a focus on correctness, resilience, observability and graceful failure.

- Technical Leadership: Lead significant pieces of technical work, drive the technical approach and make pragmatic decisions when the path forward isn’t already defined.

- Production Excellence: Help strengthen how we run our services through better monitoring, observability, SLOs, operational reviews and incident practices.

- Integrations: Build and maintain APIs and integrations with health funds, payment networks and third‑party providers, navigating external systems and legacy protocols along the way.

- Data & Domain Modelling: Model complex claiming and payment domains across relational and NoSQL data stores, with a strong focus on consistency, migration safety and auditability.





- Full‑Stack Delivery: Work across the stack when needed, including building and integrating frontend experiences that connect with the services and APIs you own.

- Reliability & Scale: Identify opportunities to improve service health, performance and scalability as Tyro Health continues to grow.

- Own What You Build: Stay close to your services after release, troubleshoot production issues and participate in the team’s paid on‑call rotation.

- Lift the Team: Set a high bar in code reviews, mentor other engineers and proactively improve engineering practices as you go.

- Collaborate: Work closely with product, design and engineering teams to turn ambiguous problems into thoughtful, well‑built solutions.

What you'll bring

- Backend Depth: Strong experience building and owning complex backend systems in production. Node.js and TypeScript experience is highly valued, but we’re open to engineers from other backend stacks who have a track record of successfully moving between technologies.

- Production Mindset: You think beyond shipping code to how services will run in the real world — monitoring, reliability, incidents, troubleshooting and ongoing operational health are part of engineering to you.

- Technical Ownership: You’re comfortable being given a problem rather than a set of instructions, and can work out and drive the technical approach from there.

- Distributed Systems: Experience with APIs, asynchronous or event‑driven architectures and the failure modes that come with distributed systems.

- Data Expertise: Strong SQL fundamentals and practical experience w
