Prosper Health is on a mission to make life happier and healthier for the 8 million autistic adults in the US. Autism prevalence is up >5x in the last 25 years, but autistic adults have been ignored by the traditional support and service system. This has contributed to alarmingly poor outcomes across mental and physical health, and vocational and social measures for autistic adults. Prosper Health is changing this by building a holistic suite of supports for autistic and neurodivergent adults. As our initial offering, we deliver best-in-class, specialized mental health services for autistic adults, covered by insurance.

We have reached multiple millions of annualized revenue in just over a year, and we are growing our team to help us scale our services to millions of autistic adults nationwide.

The Role

As the second member of our engineering team, your work will serve as the foundation for the Prosper Health telehealth platform for years to come. You’ll write Typescript across the stack, use best-in-class healthcare APIs, figure out how to tackle messy healthcare problems, and drive our product direction. You’ll work closely with our engineering lead, the rest of the founding team, clinical providers, and patients.

What types of things you’ll work on:

Clinician tooling - provide the tech stack so that clinicians can deliver best-in-class care that is driven by data and metrics.
Easy patient intake – the patient experience should be seamless, and patients should only talk to a human if they want to.
Automatic cost estimates for patients – we believe in pricing transparency and hate surprise bills.
Iterating on our CI/CD pipeline, observability tools, and creating a delightful developer experience – we’ll continue to invest in best-in-class tools for our productivity and product’s reliability.

Our tech stack:

Typescript monorepo deployed on Fly
Node.js / Fastify
React (and eventually React Native + Expo)
Supabase for Postgres, auth, and storage
tRPC for our typesafe API
Prisma for our ORM
