We’ve raised $50M in funding from phenomenal supporters at a16z, Craft Ventures, YCombinator, Manresa, and many others who are committed to improving the accessibility of care. For more information, take a look at: Announcing Camber

About our Culture:

Our mission to change behavioral health starts with us and how we operate. We don’t want to just change behavioral health, we want to change the way startups operate. Here are a few tactical examples:

1) Improving accessibility and quality of healthcare is something we live and breathe. Everyone on Camber’s team cares deeply about helping clinicians and patients.

2) We have to have a sense of humor. Healthcare is so broken, it's depressing if you don't laugh with us.

About the role:

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Platform team. This team builds and operates the foundations of Camber’s data and software platform: infrastructure, services, and developer experience. You will help design and scale the systems that power our data products, APIs, and internal tools — ensuring reliability, performance, and evolvability at every layer.

Camber is building the data and technology backbone to improve the quality and accessibility of healthcare. The Platform team ensures that backbone is secure, reliable, and evolves gracefully as we grow. You’ll be working on challenging infrastructure problems with a small, high-impact team — where your work directly empowers every other team in the company.

What you'll do:

• Design, build, and maintain core platform services (infrastructure, data lakehouse, APIs, observability, CI/CD, security).

• Develop frameworks and abstractions that improve developer experience and reduce complexity.

• Partner with product and data teams to enable faster, safer delivery on top of the platform.

• Drive operational excellence through automation, monitoring, alerting, and incident response practices.

• Lead design reviews and mentor other engineers on platform best practices.

• Contribute to architectural decisions that shape how Camber’s platform evolves as we scale.

What we're looking for:

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including platform, infrastructure, or backend systems work.

• Strong background in one or more of: distributed systems, data infrastructure (e.g., Spark, Iceberg, Postgres, S3), or cloud infrastructure (AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, ECS).

• Proficiency in at least one modern programming language (Python, Java, Go, or similar).

• Experience with observability stacks (logging, metrics, tracing) and building reliable services.

• Strong system design and architectural thinking; comfortable weighing tradeoffs.

• Pragmatic problem solver who balances technical excellence with business needs.

• Collaborative mindset, able to understand the needs of partners across teams and guide them to the best solution for the situation at hand.

Perks & Benefits at Camber:

• Comprehensive Health Coverage: Medical, dental, and vision plans with nationwide coverage, including 24/7 virtual urgent care.

• Mental Health Support: Weekly therapy reimbursement up to $100, so you can prioritize the care that works best for you.

• Paid Parental Leave: Up to 12 weeks of fully paid time off for new parents (birth, adoption, or foster care).

• Financial Wellness: 401K (traditional & Roth), HSA & FSA options, and monthly commuter benefits for NYC employees.

• Time Off That Counts: 18 PTO days per year (plus rollover), plus office closures for holidays, monthly team events, company off-sites, and daily, in-office lunches for our team.

• Fitness Stipend: $100/month to use on fitness however you choose.

• Hybrid Flexibility: In NYC? We work in the office 3–5x/week, with flexibility when life happens. Fridays are remote-friendly.

Camber is based in New York City, and we prioritize in-person and hybrid candidates. Please refer to the top of this page for this position's hiring location.

Building an inclusive culture is one of our core tenets as a company. We’re very aware of structural inequalities that exist, and recognize that underrepresented minorities are less likely to apply for a role if they don’t think they meet all of the requirements. If that’s you and you’re reading this, we’d like to encourage you to apply regardless — we’d love to get to know you and see if there’s a place for you here!

In addition, we take security seriously, and all of our employees contribute to uphold security requirements and maintain compliance with HIPAA security regulations.
