Instinct Science | Senior Full-Stack Engineer (Elixir + React) | REMOTE (US)

Source: Hacker News

Instinct Science is the AI leader in veterinary medicine. We build the platform that powers animal hospitals — a cloud-native EMR with real-time clinical decision support and applied AI that helps veterinary teams practice at their best. Thousands of users across the globe rely on what we ship every day.

We're at an inflection point: proven product-market fit, scaling fast, and greenfield work ahead that will serve tens of thousands of users. Engineers here own problems end-to-end — from talking to veterinarians about their biggest frustrations, to shipping production code, to iterating on real feedback. You're measured by customer impact, not story points.

What You'll Do

  • Drive product direction alongside customers and PMs — not just implement specs.
  • Design scalable, elegant solutions in Elixir and React.
  • Ship meaningful updates weekly, gather feedback, and iterate.
  • Mentor junior engineers and define patterns that scale with the team.

What We're Looking For

Must-haves:

  • 5+ years building modern SaaS applications, full-stack.
  • Ability to break complex problems into efficient, actionable work.
  • Team-first attitude; strong communication in a remote environment.
  • Empathy for customers — you care about what ships and who uses it.

Nice-to-haves:

  • Elixir or Erlang (we love functional programming).
  • TypeScript and React.
  • AWS (build, deploy, troubleshoot).
  • Relational database design and query tuning.

Tech Stack

  • Elixir, React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, AWS
