About the job
Senior / Staff Backend Software Engineer (Remote, US)



Build AI Infrastructure That Directly Impacts Patient Care



$200k to $300k base + bonus + equity



This is not another backend role maintaining internal tools.



We are partnered with a fast-growing healthtech company building an AI-powered care orchestration platform used in live clinical environments. The systems you build will sit directly in the workflow of healthcare professionals and influence real patient outcomes.



They are hiring a Senior or Staff Backend Engineer to take end-to-end ownership of core backend services powering event-driven, AI-enabled healthcare workflows.



If you enjoy designing clean architecture, building resilient distributed systems, and shipping code that matters in the real world, this is worth your attention.



The Mission 

Healthcare teams operate in fragmented systems with duplicated data entry, broken workflows, and constant friction.

 

This platform connects patient data, clinical protocols, and care coordination into a unified system. An AI-driven orchestration layer automates routine tasks, surfaces critical insights, and supports clinicians at the exact moment decisions need to be made.



This is production software deployed into real care settings, refined with feedback from leading health systems.



What you will be doing

Design and build scalable, event-driven backend services using Python, FastAPI, Kafka, and GraphQL
Own key parts of a modern microservice architecture running in production
Develop and optimise PostgreSQL data models in high-throughput environments
Translate complex clinical workflows into robust, reliable backend systems
Partner with DevOps on deployment, observability, and reliability improvements
Drive engineering standards through code reviews, strong testing discipline, and mentorship
Take full ownership, from architecture and implementation to supporting systems in production


This is hands-on, high-responsibility engineering in a domain where reliability truly matters.



Tech Stack 

Python 3.12 with async patterns and strong typing
FastAPI and Strawberry GraphQL
PostgreSQL with asyncpg and SQLAlchemy
Apache Kafka and event-driven architecture
Docker, Kubernetes, AWS
React and TypeScript frontend


What we are looking for

7+ years of backend engineering experience in production environments
Deep Python expertise, including async programming and strong testing practices
Strong PostgreSQL database design and optimisation experience
Experience contributing to or designing microservice architectures
Familiarity with GraphQL APIs
Experience with event-driven systems and message queues
Comfort working in cloud-native environments


Bonus points for experience with Kafka, Strawberry GraphQL, Apollo Federation, Kubernetes, infrastructure-as-code, or regulated healthcare environments such as HIPAA, HL7, or FHIR.



Why engineers join

Systems deployed into live clinical environments
AI embedded at the core of the product
Real architectural ownership, not just ticket delivery
High-trust, fully remote U.S. team
Clear product-market validation and strong growth trajectory


If you are a senior backend engineer who wants ownership, technical depth, and the chance to build AI-enabled systems that directly improve patient care, this is a rare opportunity.
