Role overview
Zenara Health is a technology-focused mental healthcare company integrating AI-driven platforms with expert clinical care to improve access to and quality of mental wellness services. The Senior Software Engineer (AI-Native) role is designed for an experienced full-stack engineer who will collaborate with the company's Lead Engineer to take full ownership of entire subsystems within 90 days. The position follows a progression from apprentice (month 1) through co-owner (month 2), owner (month 3), to architect (month 4+), with the expectation of releasing features at 2-3x typical developer speed using AI tools. The role emphasizes architectural thinking, self-motivation, and the ability to learn complex healthcare domains organically.
Responsibilities
- Oversee the billing subsystem
- Manage FHIR/EHR integration
- Own product frontend
- Own claims lifecycle
- Own clinical workflow architecture
- Initially focus on understanding the most intricate and essential components of the platform
- Step into a shared leadership role over the architecture
- Contribute to new product development
- Identify what needs to be built and execute on it
- Produce clear written documentation, PR descriptions, and technical decision records
- Collaborate with Lead Engineer and Founder-CEO
- Quickly absorb expertise from technical leader
- Take full ownership of entire subsystems within 90 days
Requirements
- 4-8 years in full-stack software engineering — experience with shipping production SaaS applications, not agency websites or internal tools
- Proficiency in TypeScript — concepts like generics, utility types, strict mode, and discriminated unions come naturally
- Experience with React + Next.js — working on production applications rather than tutorial projects, with knowledge in SSR, API routes, dynamic routing, and performance optimization
- Node.js backend skills — familiarity with REST APIs, authentication, middleware, error handling, and background job management
- Prisma ORM + PostgreSQL experience — including schema design, migrations, query optimization, and relation modeling
- Mastery of Git — understanding branching strategies, maintaining a clean commit history, managing PR workflows, and rebasing
- Experience with AI-assisted development — daily engagement with tools like Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or their equivalents, and the ability to explain how AI has influenced your development process
- Self-motivated work style — you thrive in environments where tasks are not assigned
- Strong English communication skills — with an async-first approach
Nice to have
- Experience with healthcare SaaS (e.g., billing, EHR, clinical workflows, HIPAA compliance)
- Familiarity with FHIR/HL7 standards
- Knowledge of Server-Sent Events (SSE) or WebSocket real-time architecture
- Understanding of multi-tenant SaaS security (e.g., RBAC, row-level security, tenant isolation)
- Experience with Azure cloud services (App Service, Azure SQL, Blob Storage)
- A quick learner when it comes to complex domain knowledge from subject matter experts
Benefits
- Salary range of ₹20–40 LPA based on skills and experience
- Fully remote work available within India
- Equipment allowance
- Budget for learning—covering tools, courses, and conferences
- Direct communication with the Lead Engineer and Founder-CEO—no intermediaries involved
- Encouraged use of AI tools to enhance productivity—utilize whatever makes your work more efficient
- Opportunity to manage a key subsystem in a healthcare organization from the outset—no waiting for years to demonstrate your value
Additional details

- Type: Full-time
- Reports to: Lead Engineer / Founder-CEO
- Compensation: ₹20–40 LPA (higher for exceptional candidates — prove it)

- Fast-track progression: apprentice (month 1) → co-owner (month 2) → owner (month 3) → architect (month 4+)
- Speed expectation: Release features at two to three times the speed of a typical developer using AI tools
- Not a junior-to-mid role with a senior title
