🏥 What We Do

At Vitalize, we are building the OS for hospital operations, starting with staffing & scheduling optimization.

Currently, hospitals’ core processes to manage and optimize labor live on paper, spreadsheets, or through departments of 20+ FTEs. Vitalizes’s technology transforms these processes from painstakingly tedious to autonomous , freeing up thousands of hours and reducing labor costs by 8-figures.

In less than 6 months, Vitalize has reached 7-figures in ARR and is backed by top investors, including Y Combinator and top health systems.

🪓 About the role

We're hiring for a Senior full-stack engineer to work closely with co-founders and early customers to ship product and iterate fast.

In this role, you have the opportunity to take end-to-end ownership over features that with every customer launch will touch thousands of users across the enterprise, and ultimately help health systems operate more efficiently and deliver better patient care.

🧭 Responsibilities

Work directly with co-founders to ship features and meet ambitious customer goals

Talk to customers and end-users to iterate on product features based on feedback (occasionally visit on-site!)

Shape the engineering culture and the product roadmap

🧐 Technical Challenges

Vitalize Intelligence: A real-time, event-driven engine that integrates and reconciles messy, high-latency data across EHRs, HRIS, timekeeping, and payroll systems — creating a dynamic digital twin of hospital operations.

Predictive Modeling: Forecasting future patient volume and staffing needs using AI/ML models trained on historical census trends, patient throughput, and real-time movement across departments (e.g., ED → ICU).

Optimization & Recommendations Engine: A real-time decision layer that recommends optimal staffing actions based on dozens of dynamic factors: cost, acuity, patient safety, skill mix, sick calls, fairness, and more.

Autonomous Scheduling: A first-of-its-kind prompt-based scheduling system that automates manual workflows for charge nurses and staffing coordinators. This is “Copilot for Nurse Scheduling.”

🥇 Skills

Nice-to-have: TypeScript, React, Postgres

Our stack: Vite, tRPC, Effect, Drizzle, Supabase. We’re also exploring sync engines to build a local-first experience like Linear or Superhuman.
