Maximus Health, Inc. is hiring a Lead Software Engineer / Tech Lead, Growth (Remote)

Maximus Health, Inc. is hiring a Lead Software Engineer / Tech Lead to join our Growth engineering team. In this role, you'll split your time roughly 50/50 between hands-on coding and people management, taking ownership of the lower acquisition funnel from flow start through checkout. Your primary metric is Flow Start to Checkout Conversion Rate (CVR), with a guardrail on M1 Retention.

What You'll Do

• Deliver protocol-level A/B experiments on signup flows, checkout, plan pricing, and product recommendations using Amplitude.
• Ship full-stack features across the acquisition funnel in Rails and React.
• Coach and develop your engineering team through regular 1:1s, pair programming, code reviews, and career conversations.
• Own experiment design, including sample sizing, metric selection, and navigating the CVR-vs-retention tension.
• Iterate and continuously optimize plan and pricing architecture, including payment platform integrations.
• Build and maintain the experimentation infrastructure your team runs on.
• Partner with data engineering to instrument cohort-level M1 retention tracking per experiment.
• Drive adoption of AI-assisted development across the team using tools like Claude Code and Devin.

What We're Looking For

• You've led a team of 4-8 engineers before, with direct reports you grew and retained.
• You've shipped and measured growth experiments in a subscription product (signup funnels, checkout optimization, pricing and plan architecture).
• You write production Ruby on Rails and React code and expect to keep doing so. Javascript (Node) or Python are also acceptable.
• You can design an experiment, pick the right metric, set a sample size, and explain the trade-offs to a PM.
• You think in funnels and cohorts, not just features.
• You're comfortable with event-sourced systems or similar architectural patterns where state is derived from event streams.
• You use agentic AI coding tools (Claude Code, Devin, Cursor, or similar) in your daily workflow and have opinions on integrating them into a team's development process.

Nice to Have

• Experience with healthcare, wellness, or regulated subscription commerce.
• Familiarity with Stripe billing, Klarna, or similar payment platform integrations.
• Experience building or managing Amplitude, LaunchDarkly, or Optimizely experimentation infrastructure.

Technical Stack

• Backend: Ruby on Rails 7 / Ruby 3.3
• Frontend: React 18 / TypeScript 5.4, Redux with redux-loop and Immutable.js
• Architecture: Event-sourced with command pattern
• Data: PostgreSQL, Redis
• Processing: Delayed Job for background processing
• Payments: Stripe and Klarna
• Analytics: Amplitude for experimentation, Segment for event collection
• Infrastructure: Docker, AWS/GCP, Aptible
• Tools: GitHub Actions CI/CD, Cypress for E2E testing
• AI Tools: Claude Code and Devin for agentic coding

Team & Environment

You will manage a small team of engineers and work directly with a Senior Product Manager and a Senior Designer. You'll report to the Head of Engineering.

Benefits & Compensation

• Salary: $150K - $200K
• Flexible vacation/time-off policies
• Equity into the company in the form of high potential stock options
• Liquidity of options whenever available
• Extended options exercise window for loyal employees (3 months for every year of service)
