Junior Software Engineer (SQL)

Job Description

Radicle Health is a collection of human services software products designed to foster collaboration and innovation, helping organizations better serve their communities. We believe technology plays a crucial role in the success of the human services sector, but no single system can meet the diverse needs of every agency. That’s why we’ve built Radicle Health as a home for mission-driven products that support organizations in delivering essential services. Under one roof, our teams learn from each other, test ideas faster, and think holistically about the individuals and communities we serve.

At Radicle Health, you'll do meaningful work alongside people who genuinely care about our mission, our customers, and each other. Here, you're free to show up as your full self, celebrating wins, having fun, and knowing you're truly part of something bigger. You will have real ownership of your work and your contributions will have a direct impact on our success. We're invested in your growth because when you grow, so do we.

About the Role:

As a Software Engineer, you will build and ship well-defined features and bug fixes across the full stack, with a focus on the data layer: designing, writing, and tuning SQL Server queries and stored procedures that power our .NET Core APIs and React user interfaces. You will work closely with experienced engineers, who will guide you on approach and design while you build the technical depth and product knowledge needed to take on more ownership over time.

Because we work with healthcare and human services data, good data-handling practices are also part of the job. You will be expected to follow Radicle Health's HIPAA and data-handling guidelines, including when using AI-assisted tools. Development and testing should use mocked or anonymized data rather than real customer PHI.

What You'll Do:

• Build and ship well-defined features and bug fixes across the full stack, with a focus on designing, writing, and tuning SQL Server queries and stored procedures that power .NET Core APIs and React user interfaces.
• Follow our best practices for code quality, testing, and the development process, including source control and deployment workflows, with support from colleagues on approach and design.
• Take ownership of your work through launch and beyond, quickly noticing and addressing bugs, regressions, slow queries, and open questions related to the code you shipped.
• Collaborate actively with the team by giving and welcoming thoughtful feedback in pull request reviews, asking good questions in technical discussions, and asking for help early when you're blocked.
• Protect sensitive data in line with Radicle Health's guidelines for PHI, using mocked or anonymized data in development and testing, including when using AI tools.
• Build a strong understanding of our products, customers, and the Health and Human Services domain, and grow toward independently designing and delivering features with less direction.

What You Bring:

• 1–3 years of experience in software development, whether professional, internship, academic, or personal projects.
• A BS degree, or equivalent professional experience or certifications.
• Working knowledge of SQL Server, including T-SQL, joins, stored procedures, indexes, and reading execution plans.
• Working knowledge of C# and .NET Core, including building or consuming REST APIs.
• A working understanding of full-stack development and how data flows from a SQL Server database through a .NET Core API to a React front end.
• A foundational understanding of data structures and algorithms.
• A basic understanding of source code management (such as Git) and deployment tools.
• A track record of contributing to the delivery of a feature or project, and the ability to clearly describe your role in it.
• A sense of ownership and accountability for the quality of your work.
• A collaborative approach to working with other engineers, product managers, and QA, including openness to feedback.
• An understanding of the responsibility that comes with building healthcare software, and of the importance of protecting PHI and other sensitive customer information.

Helpful, but not required:

• Experience with React, JavaScript, and HTML/CSS
• Experience with with database design and normalization, query performance tuning, and schema changes and migrations
• Experience with Fluent UI
• Experience with AI-assisted development tools, such as Claude Code or Copilot

What Success Looks Like:

Early in the role, you will focus on learning our products, codebase, tools, and development process. You should be able to reliably deliver well-defined features and bug fixes, participate actively in code reviews, and follow our practices for code quality and data handling.

As you grow, you will need less direction on approach and design. You will independently work through problems across the SQL Server, .NET Core, and React layers, notice issues in your shipped code (such as regressions and slow queries) before others do, and bring clear, well-considered questions to the team when you need support.

Success in this role is not measured by how much code you write. It is measured by how well you understand what you are building and why, how reliably your work performs once it ships, and how much your teammates can count on you for communication, collaboration, and care with sensitive data.

Why This Role:

• Your work directly contributes to the reliability of software used by organizations serving people and communities that depend on these systems every day.
• You will get hands-on experience across the full stack and the software development lifecycle, building skills in SQL Server, .NET Core, React, query performance, code quality, and secure handling of healthcare data.
• You will work closely with experienced engineers, QA, and product teams, taking on more ownership as your technical skills, judgment, and product knowledge grow.

What we offer:

• Paid holidays
• Volunteer time off
• Paid parental leave
• Remote work stipend
• Compensation: $75,000 - $95,000
• Location: Remote
