About the role
- Architect and implement backend services that interface with Postgres and Databricks to support business verticals, ensuring scale, reliability, and maintainability. Write production-grade code and lead by example.
- Design and oversee data adapters to integrate with external imaging facilities, payers, and TPAs, adhering to health data standards (FHIR/HL7, DICOM)
- Conduct rigorous code reviews, set coding standards, and foster engineering best practices to ensure high-quality, secure, and compliant codebases.
- Design systems for reliability and graceful degradation as we scale from thousands to millions of orders. Extend considerations of fault-tolerance, error reporting, and load and stress testing to existing and new services. Establish recovery strategies and observability standards.
- Write clear engineering documentation that outlines architecture choices, technical milestones, and steps required to achieve epic/feature/service goals.
- Mentor backend and full-stack engineers, sharing tools and approaches to improve problem-solving. While mentorship is expected, the majority of your time will be spent coding and architecting systems.
- Partner with Product to translate business goals into efficient, value-driven technical solutions. Ensure tradeoffs are explicit and that the solution is optimized for the problem, pushing back on instances of incorrect scoping of a solution as needed providing the relevant evidence.
- Collaborate with DevOps to embed CI/CD, observability, security, and cost-transparency into every service.
Requirements
- B.S./M.S. in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent industry experience.
- 8+ years of backend engineering experience with production level software development and architectural responsibilities.
- Strong expertise in Python, TypeScript/Node.js, PostgreSQL.
- Proven ability to design fault-tolerant, high-availability distributed systems and contribute hands-on in codebases.
- Hands-on experience with healthcare data standards (FHIR, HL7, DICOM) and compliance frameworks (HIPAA, SOC-II).
- Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers without direct management responsibilities.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred: S3, Fargate, App Runner, Route 53).
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines, observability platforms, and cost optimization.
- Experience with data pipelines and integrations with our Databricks layer (file ingestion, and BI integration), or equivalent large-scale data platforms.
- Familiarity with DICOM operations, processing, and interfacing with PACS systems
- Background in healthtech, insurance tech, or other regulated industries.
- Exposure to multi-agent systems (e.g., LLMs, OCR) to streamline workflows.
Benefits
- Professional development opportunities
