About Your Role

What you'll do

• Build enterprise-grade user management: Develop features that let organisations self-manage their users—provisioning, role syncing from IdPs, team policies, data retention, and MFA enforcement

• Deliver critical auth capabilities: Implement security features like single logout, IdP-initiated logout, idle lock, and session management that enterprises expect

• Design for multi-region scale: Build systems that support data residency requirements and scale reliably as Heidi grows into mid-market and enterprise customers

• Keep patient data secure: Your work directly protects sensitive health information through robust access policies and up-to-date security controls

• Grow with the domain: Start with foundational auth work, then take on increasing ownership of User Management as the team and product evolve

• Ship with quality: Write clean, testable code with strong API design—these systems are depended on by every other team

What we will look for

• Strong full-stack or backend experience (Python preferred; TypeScript a plus)

• Solid understanding of API design, data modeling, and building secure, reliable services

• Comfortable with distributed systems concepts: multi-region, caching, eventual consistency

• Security-conscious mindset—you think about edge cases, access control, and audit trails

• Track record delivering features independently in a fast-paced environment

• Motivated by building infrastructure that other teams and customers depend on

• Experience with identity or auth systems (SSO, OIDC, SAML, SCIM, MFA) is a plus but not required

What do we believe in?

Heidi builds for the future of healthcare, not just the next quarter, and our goals are ambitious because the world’s health demands it. We believe in progress built through precision, pace, and ownership.

• Live Forever - Every release moves care forward: measured, safe, and built to last. Data guides us, but patients define the truth that matters.

• Practice Ownership - Decisions follow logic and proof, not hierarchy. Exceptional care demands exceptional standards in our work, our thinking, and our character.

• Small Cuts Heal Faster - Stability earns trust, speed delivers impact. Progress is about learning fast without breaking what people depend on.

• Make others better - Feedback is direct, kindness is constant, and excellence lifts everyone. Our success is measured by collective growth, not individual output.

Our mission is clear: expand the world’s capacity to care, and do it without losing the humanity that makes care worth delivering.
