Founding Full Stack Engineer

Engineering / Product Full-time Remote (United States, San Francisco preferred)

Nursing Excellence Leadership Platform (NELP) is the only unified platform for ANCC Designations, Professional Governance, Clinical Ladders, and EBP.

About NELP

Building the system of record for nursing excellence 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 clinical inquiry. 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.

Our vision

There is no system of record for nursing excellence. NELP is building it One platform where every council decision, clinical ladder submission, EBP project, and designation narrative is captured, connected, and tied to measurable outcomes. When nursing excellence has real infrastructure, it stops being invisible. It becomes a visible driver of quality, retention, and patient care across the entire health system.
