About Cherry 🍒

Founded in 2019, Cherry is a fast-growing FinTech offering the simplest, fastest, and most inclusive patient financing solution for medical practices—including dental, medical aesthetics, veterinary, and more. We help practices treat more patients by making care financially accessible. Cherry is led by Stanford entrepreneurs with a previous successful exit and is backed by top investors, including Kleiner Perkins and DCM.

About the Role

With strong product-market fit and rapid adoption across partner practices, we’re accelerating the growth of our U.S. engineering team. You’ll join at a meaningful inflection point with the ability to influence architecture, product direction, and engineering culture as we reshape how patients pay for care.

We’re looking for ownership-minded engineers to contribute to major systems across multiple products as we scale our platform, and support our expansion into more practices and healthcare verticals.

This is an opportunity to build from the ground up, work with some of the best and brightest, and grow into a future leader at Cherry.
