Heard

Staff Backend Engineer (Automation + Systems)

Remote Full Time
About Heard
Heard is the financial operating system for independent health and wellness providers. We handle bookkeeping, taxes, payroll, and compliance so clinicians can focus on their patients, not paperwork.

We’ve crossed $10M+ ARR and ~4,500 customers, and the next phase of the company is about leverage. Our goal is simple and non-negotiable: Build a system where adding customers doesn’t require adding people. This role will be critical in supporting the next phase of growth at Heard.

About the Role
We’re hiring a Senior Backend Engineer to help us automate the financial back office for providers at scale. This role is about building systems that replace manual work, not interfaces that hide it. Your role will have real, tangible impact on both the business and customers lives; making it easy for providers to handle their financial and legal back office.

In this role, you will be a hands-on Staff Backend Engineer focused on automation and system reliability. You’ll work closely with the CEO, engineering, product, and domain experts to design and ship systems that materially reduce manual work and operational cost.  

This is not a people-management role. It is a technical leadership role grounded in day-to-day engineering work such as; writing production code, owning critical systems end-to-end, and setting standards through implementation, not delegation.
