Job Description

About the Company:

Octave is a modern behavioral health practice creating a new standard for care delivery that’s both high-quality and accessible. With in-person and virtual clinics in multiple states, the company offers evidence-based individual, couples, and family therapy, while pioneering relationships with payers to make care more affordable through insurance. By raising the bar on how care is delivered and how providers are supported, we are building a sustainable system that values equity, affordability, and effectiveness.

About the Role:

Octave is looking for a full-stack engineer with 5+ years of experience to help us develop the systems and tools needed to support clients seeking care, providers offering care, and the operational team and infrastructure infrastructure to support the two. We are a small but growing team who work primarily remotely, using Next.js (React), Django on PostgreSQL, gRPC and GraphQL/REST to bring everything together.

Responsibilities Include:

  • Assist in the design and development of backend systems and APIs using Python and GraphQL/REST.
  • Work closely with product managers to translate business requirements to functional code.
  • Collaborate with other engineers to implement scalable and efficient server-side logic.
  • Work with frontend and other cross-functional teams to integrate frontend interfaces with backend functionality.
  • Support database design and management, ensuring data integrity and optimal performance.
  • Learn and adapt to best practices and coding standards.
  • Collaborate with team members to document technical processes and solutions.
  • Support performance optimization efforts for improved system efficiency.
  • Participate in the testing and debugging of backend applications to identify and resolve issues.
  • Demonstrate a strong commitment to learning and growing as a full-stack engineer.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of experience building robust and scalable APIs and web applications.
  • Experience developing and deploying modern web applications with React.
  • Experience developing and deploying Python applications into production environments.
  • Experience with relational database systems like PostgreSQL or MySQL.
  • Experience integrating and synchronizing data with third party APIs.
  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code & continuous deployment in production.
  • Experience with the Django web framework.
  • Experience with gRPC and Protobuf.
  • Experience working with healthcare, healthcare technology, and clinical staff, or other regulated industries.
  • A preference for writing quality code with automated testing and leaving the code base better than how you found it.
  • Experience with continuous delivery and troubleshooting production code.
  • Comfortable communicating and collaborating with engineers, clinical, and operations staff to solve open-ended problems.
  • Interest in doing mission-oriented work especially in the healthcare space.

Octave's Company Values:

The below values drive our day-to-day operations.

  • We’re human beings first. We operate with empathy and kindness – with our clients, with our collaborators, and with ourselves.
  • People deserve better than status quo. We’re willing to tackle the intractable problems, no matter how big, because someone should. We ask big questions, we craft big solutions, and we challenge ourselves and others to make it happen.
  • No bystanders. No stars. No tourists. Each person has been selected to be here, and with that comes a responsibility to bring your expertise, share your ideas, and help make this company better.
  • Partnership paves the path ahead. We don’t operate in a silo, internally or externally. To transform the system, we believe in working with others to create something bigger, better, and stronger.
  • Quality is crucial at scale. Quality is core to our business, and we refuse to sacrifice it as we grow.
  • Progress is a process. In the pursuit of progress, we iterate, reflect, learn, adjust – and always leave things better than we found them.
  • There are people behind every data point. We recognize that numbers tell only one part of the story, and we also do the work to understand impacts at the individual level.

Physical Requirements:

  • Prolonged periods sitting at a desk and working on a computer.
  • Must be able to frequently communicate with others through virtual meeting applications such as Zoom and Google Meet.
  • Must be able to observe and communicate information on company provided laptop.
  • Move up to 10 pounds on occasion.
  • Must be eligible to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future.

Compensation:

Octave is committed to pay equity. To maintain our commitment to pay equity, Octave will follow Pay Transparency regulations on all open job postings. Current Pay Transparency laws require companies to include a position's salary or hourly wage range (not including bonuses or equity-based compensation) in any internal or external job posting.

Starting pay for qualified applicants will depend on a combination of job-related factors, which may include education, training, experience, location, business needs, or market demands. The expected salary range for this role is set forth below and this range may be modified in the future.

Safe Remote Job Search Tips

Verify Employer Thoroughly

Research the company's identity thoroughly before applying. Check for a professional website with contacts, active social media, and LinkedIn profiles. Verify details across platforms and look for reviews on Glassdoor or Trustpilot to confirm legitimacy.

Never Pay to Get a Job

Legitimate employers never require payment for applications, training, background checks, or equipment. Always reject upfront payment requests or demands for bank details, even if they claim it's for purchasing necessary work gear on your behalf.

Safeguard Your Personal Information

Protect sensitive data like SSN, bank details, or ID copies. Share this only after accepting a formal, written job offer. Ensure it's submitted via a secure company system or portal, never through insecure channels like standard email attachments.

Scrutinize Communication & Interviews

Watch for communication red flags: poor grammar, generic emails (@gmail), vague details, or undue pressure. Be highly suspicious of interviews held only via text or chat apps; legitimate companies typically use video or phone calls.

Beware of Unrealistic Offers

If an offer's salary or benefits seem unrealistically high for the work involved, be cautious. Research standard pay for similar roles. Offers that appear 'too good to be true' are often scams designed to lure you into providing information or payment.

Insist on a Formal Contract

Always secure and review a formal, written job offer or employment contract before starting work or sharing final personal details. Ensure it clearly defines your role, compensation, key terms, and conditions to avoid misunderstandings or scams.
