Jobs

Position Overview:

At Exponential, we're transforming healthcare referral management for admissions teams. We aim to simplify what has long been a disjointed, inefficient process that hinders patient access to care. Our culture of radical candor and transparency enables rapid progress while maintaining alignment across teams. As a startup, we operate in a dynamic environment where team members take on multiple responsibilities. Our talented team members actively mentor and coach each other toward excellence. Through our proven methodology for developing valuable vertical SaaS solutions, we plan to expand our product offerings annually.

We're looking for an exceptional engineer to join our founding team and take ownership of critical components across our technology stack. In this role, you'll collaborate directly with the CTO and CPO to architect, develop, and optimize our platform. As an early team member, you'll have significant influence on technical decisions, product direction, and company culture. Your work will directly translate to improved healthcare access for patients by streamlining referral processes that currently create bottlenecks in the system. This is a rare opportunity to leverage your technical expertise to solve meaningful problems in healthcare while having substantial impact on a growing organization.

The ideal candidate is someone who sees the value in joining an early-stage product that's already making real-world impact, and is interested in the potential of significant equity upside as we grow.

• Developer Test Project: Next.js To-Do App

Developer Test Project

• Next.js To-Do App
• Time Estimate: 2 hours

We’d like you to build a simple To-Do application using Next.js and deploy it to Vercel. The goal is to evaluate your ability to structure a Next.js app, use modern best practices, and deliver a working deployment.

Core Features

• Add To-Dos: A form where a user can enter a task name and submit it.
• List To-Dos: Display all current to-dos in a styled list.
• Mark Complete: Each task can be toggled between incomplete and complete. Completed tasks should be visually distinct.
• Delete To-Dos: Allow users to remove tasks.

Next.js Specific Requirements

• Must use Next.js 15 with the App Router.
• Use Server Actions or API routes for CRUD operations.
• Include basic client-side interactivity (e.g., React hooks for form state).
• Persist tasks in a simple in-memory array (reset on server restart is fine). If you prefer, you can use SQLite or Supabase for bonus points.

Styling & UX

• Use Tailwind CSS for styling.
• Provide a clean and minimal UI (no need to over-design).

Deployment

• Must be deployed and accessible via Vercel.
• Include a link to the deployed app and a link to the GitHub repo.

Deliverables

• GitHub repository with clear commit history.
• A README.md explaining:
  • How to run the app locally.
  • Any assumptions or shortcuts you made.
• Deployed app URL (on Vercel).
