About the role
ABOUT US Hinge Health is a leader in Digital Physical Therapy, and we’re expanding into new areas of care. In April 2026, we launched our comprehensive Migraine Care Program https://www.hingehealth.com/resources/press-releases/hinge-health-launches-comprehensive-migraine-care-program/, extending our digital care platform beyond physical therapy. We’re now building a new team to launch a Gastrointestinal (GI) Care Program. GI conditions affect roughly one in four U.S. adults and drive $135 billion in annual medical spending. Our planned acquisition of Cylinder Health https://ir.hingehealth.com/news/news-details/2026/Hinge-Health-to-acquire-Cylinder-Health-expanding-into-gastrointestinal-care/default.aspx, a leader in virtual-first digestive healthcare, gives us a strong foundation for entering this market. By combining Cylinder’s clinical expertise and market presence with Hinge Health’s AI-powered care model and technology platform, we can rapidly build a new GI product expected to launch in 2027. As a Staff Software Engineer for GI, you’ll help shape an end-to-end digital care experience for people living with GI conditions. You’ll lead rapid experiments to validate assumptions, navigate complex technical and product challenges, and turn what you learn into a reliable, scalable product that can improve members’ health at meaningful scale. At Hinge Health, staff engineers are senior technical contributors who lead through code, technical judgment, and influence. You’ll set direction for critical systems, contribute to production code daily, raise the quality bar, and mentor other engineers without moving into people management. You’ll partner closely with senior leadership and teams across Product, Design, and Marketing in San Francisco, Montreal, and Bangalore.
