Function Health is the AI operating system for health, designed to empower people to live 100 healthy years. Through advanced diagnostics, deep biomarker testing, longitudinal data, and AI-enabled insights, Function equips hundreds of thousands of members with the intelligence to take control of both the quality and length of their lives. Function has been recognized as one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies of 2024 and is venture-backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), with a recently announced $298M Series B.
Function's Imaging Team powers one of the most advanced cancer screening platforms in the world, offering AI-driven MRI scans across 13 organs at 180+ imaging facilities in 150+ cities across the US and abroad. This infrastructure sits at the core of Function's mission to move healthcare from reactive to proactive, and is scaling rapidly as part of the company's next chapter of growth.
We are building a world-class team that believes deeply in that mission, operates with a relentless bias toward action, and brings the technical rigor to match the ambition.
As a Software Engineer - Support, you will help keep the web platforms that power our cancer-screening experience reliable and resilient. You’ll focus on investigating production issues, mitigating incidents, shipping targeted fixes, and turning unclear problems into well-scoped backlog tickets when broader engineering work is required so we can deliver secure, delightful products that save lives.
- Join a passionate and collaborative team dedicated to groundbreaking health solutions.
- Triage, reproduce, and investigate production issues across the stack (application logs, metrics/traces, database queries, and code).
- Own incident mitigation: validate impact, implement safe configuration changes or code fixes, coordinate rollbacks when needed, and confirm recovery.
- Collaborate closely with product, engineering, operations, and medical teams to translate real-world issues into clear technical actions and member-safe outcomes.
- Define high-quality backlog tickets for issues that need scheduled work: repro steps, impact, suspected component(s), acceptance criteria, and priority recommendation.
- Create and maintain runbooks and troubleshooting guides; proactively eliminate recurring issues through automation and “fix-forward” improvements.
- Drive continuous improvement through better observability, performance tuning for key workflows, and stronger operational practices.
- Contribute to post-incident follow-ups (timeline, contributing factors, prevention tasks) and help improve our incident response process.
You’re a collaborative and detail-oriented engineer who thrives in a supportive and mission-driven environment. You have a problem-solving mindset, excellent communication skills, and the ability to clearly articulate technical concepts. You enjoy working as part of a team, have a human-centered approach to technology, and are passionate about the positive impact your work can have on people's health.
- 2+ years in a technical support, production engineering, backend, or full-stack role (or equivalent) with hands-on production debugging experience.
- Comfortable reading and making changes in production codebases (bonus if you’ve worked with ASP.NET Core / C#).
- Working knowledge of modern JavaScript/TypeScript frontends and backend APIs in production environments.
- Strong SQL fundamentals (ideally SQL Server): investigate issues safely and efficiently and understand performance basics.
- Familiarity with operating workloads in a cloud environment (Azure preferred), including deployments, monitoring, and rollback strategies.
- Excellent written & verbal communication and a bias for collaboration in a cross-functional, Agile environment.
- A strong sense of ownership: you can take an issue from “something’s wrong” → “here’s what it is” → “here’s the fix or the right backlog ticket.”
- Experience with DICOM, HL7/FHIR, or other healthcare standards.
- Background in security & compliance (HIPAA, SOC 2).
- Experience with incident management practices (on-call rotations, severity definitions, postmortems) and observability tooling.
As a Software Engineer - Support, you'll have the opportunity to make meaningful contributions within a fast growing organization committed to early cancer detection. You’ll also have access to:
- Stock options.
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans for you and your family.
- Flexible work environment.
- Team off-sites and wellness initiatives.
- Competitive vacation policy.
- A culture that emphasizes continuous learning and personal growth.
