Staff Software Engineer

Omada Health is on a mission to inspire and engage people in lifelong health, one step at a time.

Job Overview

Omada Health is a digital care provider that empowers people to achieve their health goals through sustainable behavioral change. We are on a mission to inspire and engage people in lifelong health, one step at a time.

We’re seeking a Staff Software Engineer to lead the modernization, optimization, and scalability of Omada’s B2B platform. This role is ideal for someone who combines deep technical expertise with strong leadership—someone eager to design for scale, mentor others, and influence technical direction across teams.

You’ll play a central role in re-architecting complex legacy systems, designing high-performance data pipelines (batch and real-time), and ensuring our core B2B capabilities—file ingestion, marketing outreach, eligibility, and billing—are robust, performant, and ready for the next wave of growth.

About You

You’re a systems thinker who thrives on solving hard technical challenges at scale. You have a strong foundation in distributed systems, database performance, and architectural design patterns—and you naturally guide teams toward simpler, more scalable solutions.

You’re both a technical expert and a connector, equally comfortable deep in the code or collaborating across disciplines. You’re passionate about leading by example, mentoring others, and helping engineers across Omada level up their craft. You’re also motivated by impact—building systems that help improve health outcomes for millions.

What You’ll Be Doing

Lead architecture, system design and engineering efforts for high-scale, data-intensive B2B systems supporting eligibility, billing, marketing, and file ingestion.

Design and implement batch and real-time processing architectures that are reliable, observable, and performant.

Drive efforts in database performance optimization, schema design, and long-term scalability planning across multi-terabyte PostgreSQL and other persistent stores.

Partner closely with product, infrastructure, and operations teams to deliver resilient, maintainable systems that balance business needs with technical excellence.

Identify and lead engineering-wide initiatives that improve scalability, developer efficiency, or data quality.

Mentor and coach engineers at all levels, and actively contribute to Omada’s engineering community through design reviews, technical talks, and shared best practices.

Contribute to modern, cloud-forward  architecture across multiple product domains, ensuring our systems are designed to evolve gracefully and scale efficiently.

Use and advocate for AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude) to enhance individual and team productivity.

Champion a culture of quality, observability, and reliability through strong DevOps principles and continuous improvement.

What You Need For This Role

10+ years of software engineering experience, with a significant portion spent on scalable systems architecture and performance optimization.

Proven success in re-architecting complex legacy platforms and implementing modern, maintainable solutions.

Strong programming experience with Ruby and Python, and comfort working across a modern stack (Rails, GraphQL, Django, Sidekiq).

Deep understanding of relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL), performance tuning, and data modeling.

Hands-on experience with both batch and streaming data pipelines (e.g., SQS, Kafka, Kinesis, Airflow).

Demonstrable mastery of API design, distributed systems, and cloud-native architecture (preferably AWS).

Fluency in CI/CD, containerization, and infrastructure-as-code (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform).

Familiarity with monitoring and observability frameworks (Datadog, OpenTelemetry).

Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a proven ability to influence and deliver through others.

Growth mindset and genuine curiosity about new technologies, tools, and team approaches.

Technologies We Use

Ruby on Rails Sidekiq, AWS Managed Datastores (RDS with PostgreSQL, Elasticache, ElasticSearch SNS/SQS), GraphQL, Docker, Kubernetes

Benefits

Competitive salary with generous annual cash bonus

Equity grants

Remote first work from home culture

Flexible Time Off to help you rest, recharge, and connect with loved ones

Generous parental leave

Health, dental, and vision insurance (and above market employer contributions)

401k retirement savings plan

Mental Health Support Solutions
