Staff Software Engineer, CV UX

The posting, as Hinge Health wrote it

THE OPPORTUNITY

Over 1.7 billion people worldwide live with musculoskeletal pain — and Hinge Health is on a mission to help them move beyond it. Our TrueMotion computer vision technology turns everyday mobile devices into powerful motion-tracking tools, giving members real-time feedback and guidance as they work through personalized exercise therapy. The CV User Experience team is responsible for making that magic feel effortless: building deeply interactive, TrueMotion-driven features that monitor movement, coach performance, and track recovery progress.

We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer to serve as the technical leader for this team — someone who can architect end-to-end systems across mobile and backend, tackle complex scaling challenges, and raise the bar on engineering quality. If you're passionate about building high-quality software that directly improves people's health outcomes, this is your role.

WHAT YOU'LL ACCOMPLISH

In your first 3 months

• Ramp into the CV User Experience stack (React Native, TypeScript, NestJS, GraphQL, AWS) and build relationships with product managers, designers, data scientists, and computer vision scientists.
• Deliver your first end-to-end feature while auditing the current architecture for scaling and performance bottlenecks.
• Participate in the team’s weekly on-call rotation, helping ensure the reliability and timely support of the systems we build.

In your first 6 months

• Own and lead architectural discussions for TrueMotion-driven experiences, proactively identifying challenges and proposing innovative solutions to complex mobile and full-stack engineering problems.
• Establish stronger system observability using Datadog and Sentry, improving monitoring, logging, and error tracking across the full stack.
• Profile systems to stay ahead of scaling and performance bottlenecks, ensuring a fast, responsive mobile experience for users.

In your first year

• Act as the primary technical leader for the team's architecture — designing robust, end-to-end solutions including performant APIs, mobile application architecture, and data models that are the foundation for TrueMotion's next generation.
• Mentor engineers and promote a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement through thoughtful code reviews, design discussions, and knowledge sharing.
• Every quarter, identify, propose, and execute a significant upgrade or innovative change to the team's workflow, tooling, or architecture.

WHO YOU ARE

• A Force Multiplier: You don't just ship great code — you improve the team's overall architecture, developer tooling, and practices, making everyone around you more effective.
• A Learn-it-all: You stay at the forefront of mobile development, computer vision UX, and AI-powered developer tools. You bring "only-now-possible" ideas to the team and turn them into shipped capabilities.
• Accountable: You take owner-operator pride in your code in production.
