About The Team:
The Onboarding Experience (OX) team builds patient-facing systems that connect patients to Color’s Virtual Cancer Clinic and guide them through personalized Cancer Risk Assessments (CRA). We translate patient responses into cancer risk evaluations that power downstream experiences like dashboards, messaging, care team scheduling, and kit fulfillment.

In this role, you will deliver patient-centered solutions that increase cancer screening adherence and improve health outcomes at scale.

We’re looking for an experienced full stack Software Engineer II to help us build and scale our healthcare platform. You’ll develop innovative new features that impact people’s health and lives. As a Color engineer, you’ll build out new products, improve the usability, performance and architecture of our existing products and services. This is a mid-level position, suitable for those with experience building complex software as part of a high-performing team. No background or expertise in healthcare is required.
How You'll Contribute:
- Design, build, and iterate on products and features that address long-standing challenges in healthcare—creating exceptional, integrated experiences in collaboration with product, design, data, and clinical teams. You’ll work across the full technical stack to enhance the quality, reliability, and speed of Color’s core services, propose architectural improvements, and apply data-driven experimentation to continuously evolve our offerings.
- Projects you might contribute to include:
- Smarter onboarding funnels: Develop flexible, campaign-driven onboarding and referral experiences that expand reach and increase patient engagement for Color’s Virtual Cancer Clinic.
- Modular Cancer Risk Assessment: Transform the CRA into reusable, independent modules that simplify maintenance, streamline testing, and enable campaign-specific innovation.

- Effective communication skills, with a proven ability to communicate technical information to both technical and non-technical collaborators: you identify core challenges in complex situations, explain trade offs, and incorporate feedback to make decisions using code reviews, docs, wikis, meetings, and other channels as needed.
