Job Description

Join Tech @ Ro to build the future of healthcare, from the ground up!

At Ro, we believe that when people achieve their health goals, they can achieve their life goals. The highest-leverage way to move society forward is to give people their health, and the current healthcare system isn’t built to do that. It was built to bill, not to serve patients.

We’re building a new system. One where the patient is in control. One designed from scratch for the digital age.

At Ro, technology isn’t just a function… It's core to how we deliver care. We’ve built a vertically integrated healthcare platform that connects telehealth, diagnostics, pharmacy, and logistics into a seamless, end-to-end experience for millions of patients.

…and we’re just getting started. 

As part of Tech @ Ro, you’ll work on systems that operate at scale, with an opportunity to:

  • Solve complex, high-concurrency problems across a full-stack platform
  • Build and ship quickly with tight feedback loops and real-world impact
  • Own systems end-to-end, from architecture to production performance
  • Work alongside experienced operators, technical leaders, and clinicians
  • Help define how modern healthcare should be delivered

We’re a performance-driven team with a strong sense of ownership and urgency. We move fast, learn quickly, and hold a high bar for what we build, and do so with a big heart — because patients depend on it.

If you’re motivated by impact, scale, and the chance to help lead the patient revolution, come build with us.


The Role

As a Staff Software Engineer on Ro’s Identity and Privacy team, you will build and scale systems that support secure user identity and privacy-first data practices. This includes authentication, user lifecycle management, consent, and data governance—ensuring Ro’s technical foundation supports both patient trust and business growth.

You will design, build, and maintain systems that manage customer identity, data preferences, attribution, and event-driven data flows. This work requires strong expertise in distributed systems, event pipelines, and privacy-preserving architectures. You’ll work in a highly cross-functional environment, partnering with security, legal, marketing, and data teams to define solutions that balance compliance, security, and high-quality patient experiences.
