About This Role
Building and scaling products at internet product companies is the core of this backend software engineering role. You will own backend services, APIs, and microservices end-to-end, contributing to a new healthcare technology platform that supports patient journeys, clinical workflows, and hospital operations. This high-ownership role suits engineers who enjoy solving complex problems, making architectural decisions, and building reliable, secure, and scalable systems.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and operate scalable backend services, APIs, and microservices using Java or Python
- Own features end-to-end, from architecture and development to deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement
- Design efficient data models, API contracts, caching strategies, and asynchronous, event-driven workflows
- Build reliable, secure, and high-performance systems with strong automated testing and production monitoring
- Work with relational and NoSQL databases, Redis, and messaging systems such as Kafka
- Write design documents, evaluate architectural trade-offs, and contribute to technical decision-making
- Follow security and data privacy best practices, including access controls, encryption, and audit trails
- Participate in code reviews, troubleshoot production issues, and contribute to on-call support
- Use AI coding assistants and agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot to improve development productivity while maintaining code quality and security
- Collaborate with product managers, designers, and clinical and operations teams to translate real-world requirements into technical solutions
- Mentor Associate Software Engineers and help establish strong engineering practices
Requirements
- 3–4 years of backend development experience, including at least 3 years in internet product companies such as consumer internet, e-commerce, fintech, or marketplaces
- Strong proficiency in Java or Python, with hands-on experience in Spring Boot or FastAPI
- Experience taking a product feature or service through design, development, launch, and production operations
- Understanding of scalability, availability, consistency, reliability, and architectural trade-offs
- Strong fundamentals in object-oriented programming, design patterns, class design, and API contracts
- Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL/MySQL or MongoDB, along with Redis
- Experience with Kafka or similar messaging and streaming technologies
- Practical experience using AI coding tools or agents for planning, coding, testing, debugging, and refactoring, with the ability to validate their output
- Strong data structures, algorithms, and analytical thinking
- Ability to work independently, handle ambiguity, communicate technical decisions, and collaborate with senior stakeholders
Nice to have:
- Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and Git-based workflows
- Exposure to AWS or other cloud platforms and hybrid cloud/on-premise environments
- Experience integrating AI/LLM capabilities into production applications
- Experience building engineering automations or agents using MCP or similar tool integrations
- Experience integrating third-party systems, payment gateways, ERPs, or messaging platforms
- Exposure to healthcare, fintech, or other regulated industries
- Familiarity with healthcare interoperability standards such as HL7/FHIR or ABDM
- Experience mentoring junior engineers
- Exposure to frontend technologies such as React
Benefits
- Build core healthcare technology platforms from the ground up
- Work on high-impact systems supporting patients, doctors, nurses, and hospital operations
- Take end-to-end ownership in a small, fast-moving engineering team
- Work on AI-first experiences, healthcare data platforms, and modern distributed systems
- Influence engineering standards, architecture, and AI-assisted development practices
Important Details
- Ideal Candidate: A product-focused backend engineer who has shipped production systems at scale, demonstrates strong system design and coding fundamentals, actively uses AI-assisted development tools, and is excited to build reliable technology that improves healthcare delivery
