Senior/Staff Software Engineer, Full Stack (Practice Management Team)

About the Role

Charlie Health leads the nation in high-acuity virtual behavioral care, having delivered life-saving treatment to more than 100,000 clients nationwide. Our Practice Management Team builds the technology that powers a seamless financial experience for patients and ensures the business can grow to reach more people who need care. You'll work across two high-impact surfaces: patient-facing tools that give clients a clear, transparent view of their finances and the ability to manage their payments with confidence, and internal products that streamline how our revenue operations teams work — making insurance billing and revenue collection faster, smarter, and more scalable.

For our highest-acuity patients, financial clarity is a critical aspect of their care experience. And for the business, operational excellence in revenue collection is what makes expanding access possible. If you're curious about the patient and stakeholder experience, love owning products end to end, and want to move fast on work that is both highly visible and has a clear impact, this is the team for you.
