Product Engineer, Mental Healthcare at Lutra Consulting in Canada, CA

Your opportunity

Our client builds North America’s leading clinical practice software for mental healthcare providers. They are a mission-driven innovator rooted in research and building the tools to support the emergent clinical category they are creating. They currently serve >500 healthcare organizations and tens of thousands of clinicians delivering care in clinics, hospitals, campuses and workplaces. The company also serves regional health systems by providing population-level insights and bolsters continuity of care by making patient data on the platform portable to a variety of care providers and program administrators.

The mission was inspired by personal experiences with the shortcomings and inconsistencies in mental healthcare practice and the founders are dedicated to improving the quality of care within these systems. The company is ~9 years old and recently closed its first lettered venture round of financing. Despite the capital injection the team is growing in line with revenue, and minimal reliance on outside capital. The current wave of hiring was unlocked by revenue and a large implementation that will roll out to millions of insurance plan members over the coming months.

The company is ~80 total team members and as a product engineer, you will join an R&D organization of ~29 team members (with ~7 in product and design, ~17 in software engineering and ~5 in adjacent functions like data analysis, solutions engineering and support engineering). The teams are organized into 5 cross-functional pods focusing on platform, core clinical solutions, data and insights, integrations and population health.

They are a small, growing, remote-first team and successful engineers tend to be scrappy, effective communicators who take initiative, clarify requirements, and work cross-functionally with a steady eye on high-level business requirements and constraints.
