• Scale systems and architecture to support rapid customer onboarding and company growth.

What We're Looking For

• Up to 1 year of professional backend software development experience, with production-grade delivery.

• Strong proficiency in Python (required).

• Proficiency in at least one systems programming language: C, C++, Rust, or Go.

• Infrastructure-as-code experience using Terraform or a comparable tool (required).

• Experience designing and implementing scalable backend systems or infrastructure.

• Familiarity with distributed systems concepts such as consensus, replication, and fault tolerance.

• Experience with database systems or data storage technologies.

• Understanding of prompt engineering and working with LLMs in production contexts.

• Active, meaningful GitHub contribution history demonstrating real-world coding output.

• Experience with performance optimization and profiling.

• Currently employed at an established company.

• Passion for building impactful products in healthcare.

• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) or containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) is a plus.
