Job Level
Tech Stack
About the role
- Own the design and evolution of the core data model — domain entities, actions, and the audit trail that governs every automated decision
- Build the data layer that AI agents read from and write to: expressive enough that models can reason over operational context, governed enough for healthcare compliance
- Define how domain knowledge is structured, versioned, and queried — laying the groundwork for increasingly rich context, serving as the platform matures
- Establish data contracts and APIs that give feature teams clean, stable interfaces to build against
- Drive platform reliability as we double our customer base and traffic without degrading performance
- Set technical direction for the data platform in partnership with the product, and feature team leads
Requirements
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience building backend or data infrastructure in production
- Deep expertise in relational databases: schema design, query performance, data modeling tradeoffs
- Track record designing and evolving data models in complex, growing systems
- Experience operating production systems at scale, including incident response and reliability work
- Hands-on coding ability in backend systems (Python-heavy environment, but language agnostic)
- Strong reliability instincts: observability, testing, data integrity
- Ability to make good decisions with incomplete information — e.g., designing data models when the domain is still being codified, and product requirements are evolving alongside AI capabilities
Benefits
- Enjoy unlimited PTO
- Fully covered health insurance (medical, dental, and vision)
- Meal stipend
- Health & wellness stipend
- 401(k) matching
- Stock options
