About the Role

Inspiren is on a mission to build a world where technology augments and empowers human care. As a Software Engineer on our Intelligence & Integrations team, you will be a key player in this mission. You'll work on the core systems that enable our platform to ingest, process, and make sense of real-time data from our hardware devices to deliver on our promise to improve healthcare outcomes and quality of life. Your work will directly impact our ability to scale, from enhancing our data pipelines to building resilient integrations with our customers' Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems. You'll be a key driver in turning raw data into actionable insights for our users.

What You'll Own

• Architecture & Scalability: Partner with engineering leadership to evolve our core data models and APIs, transitioning from our current point-to-point architecture to a more resilient, event-driven system.
