ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a Product Engineer, Care Delivery to help design and build the next generation of operational and AI-powered tools that support care delivery across our clinics.

This role sits at the intersection of care model operations, product management, and the data and AI platform teams. You will work closely with frontline clinical and operational teams to understand workflows, identify opportunities for improvement, and rapidly build software solutions that enhance how care is delivered.

You will leverage shared data infrastructure, platform capabilities, and AI infrastructure developed by our data and AI platform teams to create workflow applications and operational tooling that drive meaningful outcomes for frontline care teams.

The tools you build may include:

Care team-facing workflow applications that support value based care initiatives
AI-assisted tools that automate administrative work in clinics or enhance clinical decision-making
Embedded workflows within our EHR ecosystem
Lightweight standalone applications that improve operational efficiency
Internal tools that help care teams coordinate, prioritize, and deliver longitudinal patient care

This is a highly cross-functional, high-agency role for someone who enjoys moving quickly, working closely with end users, and building thoughtful software that solves real operational problems.

You will partner closely with Product Management on prioritization, workflow discovery, and problem definition, while maintaining significant ownership over technical design, implementation, and delivery.

RESPONSIBILITIES 

Partner closely with care teams, operational leaders, and product managers to understand workflows and identify opportunities for improvement
Design, build, and deploy high-quality applications and workflow tooling that support clinic operations and care delivery
Leverage internal platform capabilities, data assets, APIs, and AI infrastructure to rapidly prototype and productionize new solutions
Build user-facing experiences that are intuitive, reliable, and deeply integrated into clinical workflows

Translate ambiguous operational challenges into scalable technical solutions
Iterate quickly based on user feedback and operational outcomes
Collaborate with Data and AI Platform teams to shape reusable platform primitives and workflow capabilities
Contribute to the evolution of our internal tooling ecosystem and operational technology strategy
Help establish best practices for rapidly building and deploying workflow applications in a healthcare environment

ABOUT YOU

You are a high-agency builder who enjoys owning problems end-to-end

You are energized by working closely with users and embedding deeply within operational workflows

You have strong product intuition and care about building polished, usable software

You thrive in fast-paced startup environments with evolving priorities and ambiguity

You are comfortable balancing speed, pragmatism, and technical quality

You enjoy collaborating across technical and non-technical teams

You are excited about applying AI capabilities to real-world operational challenges

You care about building systems that meaningfully improve how healthcare is delivered

From a cultural perspective, you are:  

Accountable. You hold a high standard and you expect it from others too.
Someone who treats mistakes as data. You move fast, name what isn't working, fix it, and carry the lesson forward.
Customer-obsessed. You build genuine empathy with users, dig into what they actually need, and stay focused on solving real problems.
A problem-solver, not a finger-pointer. You own challenges alongside your teammates - no blame, no deflection, just shared accountability for finding the way forward.
A contributor who shapes the answer. You bring your strengths and perspective to every conversation because rigorous debate is how the strongest solutions get built.
Comfortable with uncertainty. The plan will change and the priorities will shift - you make smart calls with what you have and course-correct with good judgement when things evolve.

ADDITIONAL QUALIFICATIONS

3+ years of experience building customer-facing or operational software applications
Background in software engineering, computer science, or a related technical field
Experience building full-stack applications or workflow tooling in modern development environments
Familiarity with APIs, data platforms and models, and integrating across multiple systems

About the company

Hopscotch Health delivers value-based primary care to underserved rural communities in America. It partners with healthcare providers and payers to offer preventive care and chronic disease management aimed at improving patient outcomes and satisfaction while reducing overall costs. The service works through a value-based care model that emphasizes care coordination and prevention, collaborating with rural clinics to deliver coordinated primary care rather than maximizing visit volume. Its differentiator is a focused commitment to rural health disparities, bringing a proven urban-value-based approach to areas with limited healthcare infrastructure, supported by provider-payer partnerships. The company’s goal is to close rural healthcare gaps by delivering accessible, high-quality, cost-effective primary care that improves health outcomes for patients at risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, respiratory issues, and injuries.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

August 18, 2026 Series D raised $53 million from 8VC and Town Hall Ventures.
Management says patient retention exceeds 90%, NPS hit 89, and western North Carolina is profitable.
July 7, 2026 Spindale opened, while hiring continued across clinical and non-clinical roles.

What critics are saying

Revenue depends on Medicare and Medicare Advantage reimbursement in one region.
A payer rate reset in 2027 could erase profitability before expansion pays back.
Geographic concentration in Western North Carolina leaves Hopscotch exposed to local payer and clinician shocks.

What makes Hopscotch Primary Care unique

12 Western North Carolina clinics target Medicare seniors in NHSC-eligible rural HPSAs.
Same-day visits and 24/7 care-team access differentiate Hopscotch from fragmented rural practices.
Value-based coordination with specialists, hospitals, and payers reduces transitions-of-care friction.

The money funds a research network with Mass General Brigham, the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Colorado Anschutz, supplying tissue and blood samples paired with longitudinal clinical outcomes across immunology, metabolic, cardiovascular and autoimmune disease.

The Berkeley medical technology company has reached $30 million in an ongoing Series C led by InnovaHealth Partners. InnovaHealth has backed Channel Medsystems since 2021. Proceeds fund commercial organization expansion, physician and patient awareness, professional education and training, clinical evidence generation and market development infrastructure.

The round was led by Bob Nelsen with participation from Peak 6, NeoGenesis Capital, Builders VC and CAZ Investments, bringing total capital raised to $60 million. The valuation is unusual relative to check size, and what investors are buying is founder pedigree and a data position rather than near-term revenue. Astromech was co-founded by Ben Lamm and geneticist George Church, spun out of Colossal Biosciences, and uses 3.8 billion years of evolutionary history as a primary training signal. Longevity is the proving ground, with 46 longevity-associated genes mapped so far. (Link)
