Principal Engineer leading architecture and technical direction across multiple engineering teams at Parachute Health, a digital ordering platform for medical equipment. Role involves hands-on work with Ruby on Rails stack, driving large-scale refactoring, setting AI-native standards, and partnering with engineering managers and product.
Parachute Health is transforming post-acute care as the leading digital ordering platform for medical equipment and supplies. We connect major health systems, health plans, and suppliers to help patients get the life-saving products they need at home. Since launching, we've connected 300,000+ clinicians and 3,000+ supplier locations across all 50 states and helped 15M+ patients. What started as a DME ePrescribing tool has become the order management platform of choice for home medical equipment.
Join our team and make a difference in patient care.
We are seeking a Principal Engineer to be the technical leader of one of our engineering divisions. You will own the architecture and technical direction across multiple teams working on core parts of the Parachute platform β the workflows that connect clinicians, health systems, health plans, and HME providers so patients get the equipment they need at home.
This is a hands-on, division-wide role. You will partner with engineering managers, Product, and Design to set direction across teams, make the hard technical calls, and stay close enough to the code to prove them out. As Parachute pivots from feature delivery toward foundational, AI-driven infrastructure, you will serve as a definitive technical leader, trusted to untangle ambiguous problems and deliver high-impact solutions.
