About Fabric Health

About the Role

What You'll Do

• Serving as the first line of engineering response for incoming production and support issues during business hours, triaging immediately and shielding the core product team from constant interruption.
• Prioritizing ruthlessly by patient impact, treating any issue that is preventing patients from receiving care as critical and jumping on it first.
• Diagnosing and fixing bugs across a large, mature Ruby on Rails codebase, from quick corrections to real root-cause changes.
• Making careful, safe live production data edits in Ruby to resolve urgent issues, with the discipline that patient-facing systems demand.
• Owning and improving the admin portal on the Virtual Care platform so Support and Implementations can work independently without relying on engineers.
• Building documentation, runbooks, and diagnostic tools that empower the broader Support team to resolve common issues on their own over time.
• Partnering closely with Support, Implementations, and Engineering to turn recurring incidents into permanent fixes rather than repeat fire drills.
• Tracking patterns across incoming issues and feeding them back into the product and platform so the same problems stop coming back.

Why You Might Be a Good Fit

• You care deeply about the mission: You understand that a production bug here is not an inconvenience, it is a patient who cannot get seen, and you treat it that way.
• You are the person who runs toward the fire: You like being first on the urgent issue, triaging fast under pressure, and getting it fixed.
• You have real depth in Ruby on Rails: You are comfortable reading and editing a large, live Rails codebase and making safe production changes with confidence.
• You are a strong diagnostician: You move from symptom to root cause quickly and you fix the cause, not just the symptom.
• You take satisfaction in making yourself unnecessary: You document and build tooling so that Support can self-serve and the queue keeps shrinking.
• You are self-directed: You are comfortable being the solo owner of a domain, setting your own priorities against real urgency, and standing behind your calls.

This Might Not Be The Right Fit If...

• You want to spend most of your time on greenfield roadmap feature work rather than triaging and resolving production issues.
• You are primarily a Node.js, TypeScript, or front-end engineer without deep, hands-on Ruby on Rails experience.
• You are not based in the United States; this role requires US-based work because of production console access and PHI.
• You are uncomfortable making careful live production data changes or participating in on-call coverage.
• You want a large team around you at all times; this is a solo role that bridges Support and Engineering.
• You prefer well-defined, stable systems over fast-moving, interrupt-driven work in a mature production environment.

Your Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, operating at a senior (IC3) level with a record of owning production systems end to end.
• Deep, hands-on Ruby on Rails expertise: you can navigate and edit a large, mature Rails codebase and make safe live production data changes.
• Strong debugging and production troubleshooting skills, with the composure to work incidents that are actively affecting patients.
• Based in the United States (hard requirement) due to production console access and handling of PHI.
• Experience operating production SaaS, ideally multi-tenant, with sound instincts for reliability and safe operational practices.
• Strong written communication for documentation, runbooks, and cross-functional collaboration with Support, Implementations, and Engineering.
• Comfort as a self-directed, solo owner who can set priorities against competing urgency and be trusted to make the right call.

Bonus Points

• Experience building software in healthcare, or in another high-stakes, highly regulated, or safety-critical domain, especially with PHI in a HIPAA environment.
• Front-end experience with React (nice to have) and some familiarity with Angular, which the admin portal touches.
• A track record of building internal admin tools or self-service diagnostic tooling that reduced load on an engineering team.
• Prior experience in a production support, sustaining, or reliability-focused engineering role.
• Familiarity with healthcare interoperability standards such as HL7 or FHIR.

Recruitment Fraud Alert: Protect Yourself

• Verify the Domain: Official recruitment emails will only come from addresses ending in @fabrichealth.com or @gem.com. No other domain names are legitimate.

Google Meet is always the platform used for your first interview; you will never be sent a Zoom link to set up or conduct an initial interview. All interviews are conducted via video unless specifically stated by our team as an audio call. We never conduct interviews via chat, social media, Skype, or WhatsApp.
• Zoom Usage: Zoom is utilized only for specific meetings set directly by our team for purposes outside of the standard interview process (e.g., coordination or onboarding discussions). It is never the first link you will receive from us.
• Authorized Contact & Texting: Fabric will only contact you if you have submitted an application or if you are connected to a current employee who shared your information with us. We will only send text messages if you have provided explicit authorization and consent, either through your application or while communicating directly with our team. If you have not explicitly authorized us to reach out, treat any SMS or unsolicited outreach as fraudulent and do not respond.
• Sensitive Data: We will never ask you for sensitive personal or financial documents (ID, banking info, SSN) during the application, interview, or candidacy stages. All sensitive data is handled through secure internal systems post-offer.
• Verify the Team: You can reference LinkedIn to verify members of our recruiting team; however, please remain vigilant as scammers may create fraudulent profiles. Always cross-reference the sender's email domain with our official @fabrichealth.com address.
