At SENA Health, we are building the future of healthcare opera9ons through AI, automa9on,
and intelligent workflow orchestration.
We operate as a technology enabled clinical command center suppor9ng healthcare
organizations globally. Our platform combines conversational AI, automation, human-in-theloop
operations, and modern cloud architecture to improve patient access and operational
efficiency.
This is not a traditional engineering role.
We’re not looking for someone who simply works through a backlog. We want someone who
becomes obsessed with the problem, challenges how quickly something can be built, and gets
genuine energy from shipping. You should be AI-native, using modern AI engineering tools to
dramatically multiply your output and have an intense bias toward action, experimentation, and
ownership. The problems we’re solving in healthcare matter, and we want engineers who feel
that significance and are excited by the opportunity to build something extraordinary. The goal
isn't longer hours; it's extraordinary leverage, velocity, and impact.
The Day to Day of the Job
You will work closely with the CTO and engineering leadership to
- Maintain and improve existing JavaScript/React applications and cloud infrastructure
- Build new AI enabled applications, workflows, and internal tooling
- Design scalable APIs and event driven systems
- Develop integrations with healthcare systems, telephony plaDorms, AI providers, and
third-party services
- Use modern AI tooling and coding assistants to improve development velocity and
quality
- Help evolve our platform toward autonomous and intelligent workflow orchestration
You should be comfortable operating across frontend, backend, cloud infrastructure, databases,
integrations, and AI assisted engineering workflows.
