About the role

  • Greenfield architecture: You'll design and build our core systems – APIs, database architecture, infrastructure, and data pipelines – while optimizing for performance and maintainability.
  • Real ownership: You'll own entire features end-to-end, from talking to users and stakeholders to writing specs, understanding our strategy, and shipping to production.
  • Healthcare impact: You’ll work on real-world problems that directly improve patient care.
  • Fast iteration: We move quickly, ship constantly, and learn from real users.

Requirements

  • 5+ years experience building and shipping production systems with modern backend technologies: cloud platforms (AWS/GCP), databases (Postgres/MySQL, DynamoDB, Spanner, or similar), APIs, data pipelines (Airflow, Dagster, or similar), and modern languages (Python, Golang, Java/Kotlin, or similar)
  • Track record of taking ownership and startup mentality: You've built something meaningful from scratch – led projects, started a company, built a side project, or worked at an early-stage startup. You thrive in ambiguity, move fast, and care about solving real problems with unfailing attention to detail.
  • Strong communication skills: You can write clearly and make persuasive technical arguments.
Benefits
  • The base salary range for this role is competitive and will be determined based on the candidate’s relevant skills, experience, and geographic location.
  • In addition to base pay, total compensation may include performance-based incentives, benefits and company options.
  • Security, Privacy & Compliance: This role may handle PHI/PII and must follow HIPAA, company privacy policies, and least-privilege access practices.
  • EEO & Inclusion: VITL is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We consider all qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran status, or other legally protected characteristics.
