The Software Engineer (Backend) will develop backend services with Go, work on scalable systems for healthcare, and collaborate on features and technical designs.
We were tired of hearing that healthcare is broken, so we decided to do something about it. At Nomi Health, we believe the care itself isn’t broken — it’s the business of healthcare that gets in the way. Every year, more than $1 trillion is wasted on paperwork, delays, and middle layers that drive up costs and keep people from the care they need.
We’re rebuilding the system so it works the way it should: clear prices you can trust, faster payments that keep providers focused on patients, and data that helps employers make better decisions. Our work has already touched more than 30 million lives — from local communities in Michigan to some of the largest companies in the country.
We are looking for a Software Engineer (Backend) to join our team. You will help modernize the healthcare system through intelligent, scalable software. You will work with technologies like Go, GraphQL, and AWS to build platforms that power healthcare payments, operations, and real-time data exchange.
How You Will Make an Impact
- Design, build, and maintain backend services using Go and cloud-native technologies
- Contribute to building scalable systems that support healthcare data and transactions
- Collaborate with product, engineering, and architecture teams to deliver features end-to-end
- Participate in technical design discussions and contribute ideas to improve systems
- Help ensure system reliability, performance, and observability
- Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code
- Work with AWS services (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB/RDS, ECS/EKS) and containerization tools like Docker and Kubernetes
What We're Looking For
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field preferred (or equivalent experience).
- 3 to 5 years of software development experience (Go, Java, or C++)
- Experience building backend services and APIs in a production environment
- Familiarity with cloud platforms like AWS
- Understanding of distributed systems concepts (even if not deeply experienced yet)
- Experience working with SQL or NoSQL databases
- Strong problem-solving skills and willingness to learn
- Collaborative mindset and ability to work in a team environment
Nomi Health delivers disruptive healthcare solutions, in partnership with like-minded employers, public sector organizations, advisors (brokers/consultants), and payers/TPAs. We’re a team of 300+ people who show up every day with the same mindset: don’t settle for “that’s just how it is.” Real change happens when you challenge the system, cut through the excuses, and build something better together.
