Software Engineer

Lantern is seeking a Software Engineer to join our healthcare technology team and play a pivotal role in designing and building cloud-based applications that improve the lives of patients and healthcare providers. This role involves hands-on software development while also contributing to technical discussions and collaborating closely with teammates.
