Backend Engineer

Role Description

We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to help build the systems that power the company's next generation of AI-driven products. You'll work closely with engineers, machine learning researchers, and data scientists to translate sophisticated models and healthcare data into scalable, production-ready software that customers rely on every day. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys building backend systems, solving complex technical problems, and working on products with real-world impact.

What You'll Do

• Design and build scalable backend services and APIs.
• Develop integrations with healthcare and financial systems.
• Build reliable, observable data ingestion and processing pipelines.
• Partner with machine learning engineers to productionize AI-powered features.
• Design high-throughput, low-latency distributed systems.
• Collaborate across engineering, product, and data science to deliver customer-facing solutions.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Writes clean, maintainable, and well-tested production code.
• Enjoys designing scalable backend systems.
• Thrives in collaborative, cross-functional environments.
• Is curious, pragmatic, and enjoys solving difficult technical problems.
• Has experience with data-intensive applications or distributed systems.

Bonus Points

• Experience building machine learning products in production.
• Experience with large-scale data pipelines.
• Experience building high-volume APIs.
• Experience working with healthcare data or regulated environments.

This Role Is Probably a Great Fit If...

• You enjoy backend engineering more than frontend development.
• You like working closely with machine learning and data science teams.
• You're energized by technically challenging problems with real-world impact.
• You want to help build AI-powered products used by enterprise healthcare customers.

This Role Probably Isn't the Right Fit If...

• You prefer highly repetitive feature work over systems design.
• You're looking for a role focused primarily on frontend engineering.
• You enjoy large, process-heavy organizations more than fast-moving startup environments.

Tech Stack

• Python, Java, or Scala
• SQL
• Spark
• Airflow
• Modern cloud infrastructure
• Machine Learning & Generative AI

Why This Role?

The most exciting backend engineering roles combine meaningful technical challenges with meaningful impact. This opportunity offers both: you'll help build AI-powered infrastructure that tackles some of healthcare's most complex operational problems while working alongside an exceptional technical team.
