  • Develop and enhance backend features to support internal and external users.
  • Contribute to the evolution of our application platform by participating in technical discussions and architecture planning.
  • Collaborate with product managers, designers, front-end engineers, machine learning engineers, and infrastructure teams to develop and refine software solutions.

  • Take responsibility for writing well-documented, reliable, and efficient code.
  • Support the development of software as a medical device, contributing to improving patient outcomes.
  • Assist in implementing backend services for system integrations, including working with HL7 standards.
  • Help develop data pipelines and interfaces using Kafka.
What You’ll Need .
  • Bachelor of Science (or higher) in Computer Science or equivalent.
  • 2+ years of full life cycle development experience in python.
  • An insatiable intellectual curiosity and the ability to learn quickly in a complex space.
  • Experience and skills in designing and building python-based (FastAPI or Django) applications.
  • Solid foundation in data structures, algorithms, and OO design.
  • Ability to collaborate with a distributed team and to work autonomously on projects.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work in a fast-paced, agile environment.
  • Cloud Platform experience (AWS) (knowledge of some IaC framework is a plus).
  • Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools like GitLab CI is a plus.
  • Knowledge of containerization technologies like Docker and container orchestration tools like Kubernetes is a plus.
