Founding Full Stack Engineer at NELP
Join NELP as a Founding Full Stack Engineer and build the system of record for nursing excellence. While healthcare leadership is often buried in spreadsheets, NELP provides a unified platform for ANCC designations and clinical ladders that measurably improves patient outcomes and nurse retention. As the first engineer, you'll own the technical stack, design complex multi-tenant architectures, and deploy AI-driven workflows for major health systems. This is a rare opportunity to join a fast-growing company at the ground floor, work directly with the CEO, and receive founding-team equity while solving a massive problem in a mission-critical industry.
About this role
Role overview
About the company
NELP improves patient outcomes and nurse retention across the country's largest health systems.
Nursing leaders drive retention, patient safety, quality improvement, and workforce development, but the programs behind that work (Magnet®, Pathway to Excellence®, clinical ladders, shared governance, EBP) are still run on spreadsheets and shared drives. The impact nursing creates every day goes unmeasured and invisible to the executives who fund it.
NELP is the only unified platform for ANCC designations, professional governance, digital clinical ladders, and EBP automation. Four integrated products, one shared evidence repository. Work done once compounds across every program. Leadership gets real visibility, and nursing's impact becomes quantifiable, defensible, and tied to patient outcomes.

What you will do
- Own the end-to-end architecture and implementation of production features across four integrated products using TypeScript, React, and Next.js.

- Collaborate directly with health system leaders to translate their needs into AI-enhanced workflows for document retrieval and clinical evidence organization.
