DEVELOPER WANTED FOR A CHALLENGING JOURNEY.
Difficult work, high pressure, long hours, intense scrutiny. constant challenges, total accountability, and no room for excuses or ego. Satisfaction in creating something noteworthy, pride in a job well done, and a lasting legacy upon success.
We are building high-stakes, AI-driven healthcare SaaS platforms where speed, performance, and precision can literally impact lives. It is fast-paced, flat, competitive, and unrelenting. We thrive on the thrill of high-stakes problem solving, and when crunch time hits, we get an adrenaline rush from pushing through the night to victory—not a panic attack.
We do not care about credentials without capability, and we have zero tolerance for posturing or egos. We want a driven 10x builder—a full-cycle engineer who possesses both the raw technical chops to construct elegant systems and the leadership instinct to inspire those around them.
This is not your “safe choice.” If you are looking for a comfortable 9-to-5 predictable corporate routine, or a place to blend into the background, you are probably not up to the challenge. We don’t say this to be disrespectful or mean. Rather, we say it to be respectful of your time and ours.
WHO YOU MUST BE
- Long-Term Legacy Mindset: You aren't playing short-term career games. You want to pass the "Look-Back Test"—staying committed to a mission long enough to see the monumental, long-term compounding results of what you architect today.
- Grit & Intensity: You live by a "whatever it takes" ethos. When a critical release is on the line or a complex bug stalls the team, you don't look at the clock, and you never say, "That’s not my job." You dig in until the team is unstuck.
- Clear Communicator: You possess top-tier clarity of thought. You can walk into a room of non-technical stakeholders or healthcare executives and explain dense, complex AI/engineering concepts in simple, razor-sharp English.
- A True Full-Cycle Fixer: You don't just point out flaws or lodge tickets for someone else to deal with. You identify the problem, prioritize it, design the architecture, write the code, and ship the fix. Total ownership.
- High Energy, Zero Ego: You thrive in an environment where individual contributors drive real strategic change. You can stand up for your ideas with passion, but immediately pivot to execute the best idea in the room—regardless of whose it was.
- A Forever Learner: You go into a conversation with the goal of learning. You talk with, not at other people. You listen more than you talk. You love asking questions. You embrace the idea that every experience is an opportunity to learn.
TECHNICAL COMMAND
You don't need to know every tool in existence, but you must possess deep engineering fundamentals, a rapid learning curve, and mastery across key modern layers:
- Core Stack: Advanced proficiency in TypeScript (React framework) and Node.js.
- Data Layer: High competence with MySQL, PostgreSQL, and DynamoDB.
- Modern Tooling & Languages: Working knowledge of Python (critical for AI integration work) and willingness to navigate enterprise domains like Java EE or new environments on demand.
- Execution Power: Ability to take an abstract product vision, break down complex requirements, and ship production-ready, resilient software autonomously.
OUR UNCOMPROMISING PILLARS
We live and breathe these standards daily. If any of these make you uncomfortable, this is not the company for you:
- Creative Innovation ("Think Outside the Tech"): Out-of-the-box thinking is our baseline. We don't follow industry standards; we write new ones.
- Radical Ownership ("Be the Select Few"): Full-cycle fixers live here. Identify, prioritize, implement, and take complete accountability for outcomes.
- Grit / Collective Finish Line ("Win as a Team"): FIND A WAY. No one gets left behind, and we don’t leave until the team is across the line.
- Radical Generosity ("Profit for Purpose"): We pledge 10% of our profits directly to charity to fuel the addiction rehabilitation community. Your hard work directly finances real human healing.
- Lasting Pride ("Build Your Legacy"): We build things today that we will be proud of a decade from now.
- High-Octane Environment ("Flat & Fast"): Open, flat, intense, and fun. No bureaucracy, no hand-holding, no political maneuvering.
THE DETAILS
- Locations: Must live near (or be willing to immediately relocate to) one of our core hubs: NY/CT Border, Hanover, NH, or Carlsbad, CA.
- Scope: Direct ownership of an elite product team building AI healthcare applications, backed by a broader network of 50+ engineers across 20 global brands under Civicom.
- Compensation: Competitive Base Salary + Quarterly Performance Bonuses tied directly to high-impact execution.
STILL READING?
If the idea of an easy job bores you to death, and you want to test your absolute limits alongside a team that refuses to fail, apply now. Show us what you've built.
WHY CIVICOM?
Innovation, entrepreneurial spirit, growth, opportunity. The company has expanded from one revenue stream to eight, with 22 brands and 550 employees in five locations around the world. And the innovation pipeline is still full. This happened because service excellence, responsible risk-taking, tolerance of failure and flexibility are encouraged. Keep in mind that
flexibility often means, by definition, unstructured and perhaps chaotic. Don’t apply unless you’re OK with that. Also, a very high portion of earnings (more than 100% in recent years) goes back into the company to invest in growth and diversification, resulting in almost 20% annual growth for fifteen years through 2022. This leads to many benefits for employees:
- Employees can grow both vertically and horizontally—broadening and elevating their skills—by moving between new and exciting businesses and projects within the same family of companies.
- Compensation increases in the US have outpaced averages. (This has not been true in ’23 and 1H ’24)
- Employment security is increased due to diversification away from the risk of having all eggs in one basket.
Good benefits. (Top 10%)
Value-creators. We love creating customer value, which means we get to work with customers
who are delighted with what we do for them and consider us partners. This makes for a more rewarding and enjoyable environment.
Sharing with employees. Employees receive a modified profit-sharing bonus each quarter. Also, ten percent of the company stock appreciation is being transferred to employees—not just managers but employees at all levels who support the company and its causes.
OKRs/Clear Goals A disciplined process of Objectives and Key Results supports participatory goal setting and transparent accountability up and down the organization.
Elevated Sense of Purpose: We set big goals, refuse to settle for being ordinary, and want people to enjoy the challenge of trying to achieve the goals in the same way we might enjoy challenges like basketball, climbing mountains, chess and so on. This message is continually reinforced via a long list of company customs and disciplines.
- Buy Forward (10% to charity) helps add meaning and purpose in what we do together in our daily work lives. It gives us permission to ask each other to care—to care about customers, to care about the company, to care about each other, and to care about the world.
Feathers: This innovative and authentic charity—our own creation—was inspired by our CEO’s immersion experiences living in Philippines slums with extremely impoverished families. It is about (a) keeping human contact in charity and (b) the undiminished transfer of donations from the donor to the beneficiary. It's for real, not for show. It also gives our employees in the Philippines an opportunity to be personally involved in a way that is essential—ensuring integrity in the process—but with a nominal time commitment. see
Level 5: Check egos at the door. Mutual respect. Opinions are heard. Collaborative and human. Hierarchy is not important. No job is above or beneath anyone.
Learning: Leaders are hell-bent to learn P&L management, goal setting, strategy, coaching, and be true “generalists.” Responsibility and authority are delegated. "Civicom Grow" encourages learning by teaching—the best way to learn.
Executive comp ratio. An extremely low ratio of senior manager compensation to average means a disproportionate amount of earnings is reinvested back into the company to stimulate growth and opportunity.
Truth. Responsible and constructive criticism is facilitated and encouraged though a
quarterly truth partner process with non-optional reminders of its importance,
and an anonymous email system with instructions posted in every office space.
Employee Recognition. There is a steady stream of peer-recognition and company awards—leaf and branch awards, annual awards, top-coder, and service awards. Often lengthy employee accolades are set to inspiring music.
Growth through merit. The company is full of inspiring stories of employees who started at the bottom and steadily rose to positions of leadership. This speaks volumes about opportunities for top performers, irrespective of background and pedigree. It is a meritocracy.
Diversity. Leadership is extremely multi-ethnic and disproportionately female (highly unusual for a tech company). Our workforce is also unusually diverse in all dimensions.
Customs & Disciplines. See list in the Roots and Advocates booklet.
