Job Description

Join Tech @ Ro to build the future of healthcare, from the ground up!

At Ro, we believe that when people achieve their health goals, they can achieve their life goals. The highest-leverage way to move society forward is to give people their health, and the current healthcare system isn’t built to do that. It was built to bill, not to serve patients.

We’re building a new system. One where the patient is in control. One designed from scratch for the digital age.

At Ro, technology isn’t just a function… It's core to how we deliver care. We’ve built a vertically integrated healthcare platform that connects telehealth, diagnostics, pharmacy, and logistics into a seamless, end-to-end experience for millions of patients.

…and we’re just getting started. As part of Tech @ Ro, you’ll work on systems that operate at scale, with an opportunity to:

Solve complex, high-concurrency problems across a full-stack platform

Build and ship quickly with tight feedback loops and real-world impact

Own systems end-to-end, from architecture to production performance

Work alongside experienced operators, technical leaders, and clinicians

Help define how modern healthcare should be delivered

We’re a performance-driven team with a strong sense of ownership and urgency. We move fast, learn quickly, and hold a high bar for what we build, and do so with a big heart — because patients depend on it.

If you’re motivated by impact, scale, and the chance to help lead the patient revolution, come build with us. The Role We’re looking for a Principal Software Engineer to serve as a senior technical leader across Ro’s engineering organization. In this role, you’ll help shape the long-term direction of our platform, guide the evolution of critical systems, and drive architectural decisions that enable Ro to scale safely, sustainably, and quickly. You’ll partner across engineering, product, design, and cross-functional leadership to define technical strategy, anticipate risks, mentor senior engineers, and guide teams toward resilient, maintainable, high-quality solutions. This role is ideal for someone energized by system-wide impact, complex technical challenges, and helping raise the engineering bar across Ro.
