Full Stack Web & Mobile Developer

About Empower

Empower is building a HIPAA- and SOC 2-compliant healthcare platform and the underlying infrastructure to support it at scale. We're looking for a full stack web and mobile developer to join a small, fast-moving team and work directly under our CTO. You'll own features end to end — from database schema to API to the web and mobile clients that ship them — while helping build a product that meets the security and compliance bar healthcare demands. We move quickly, ship often, and lean heavily on modern AI-assisted coding tools to build faster without cutting corners. This is a hands-on role for someone who wants real ownership and is comfortable with ambiguity, shifting priorities, and a startup pace.
