Responsibilities

• Design and build scalable backend systems and APIs that support our AI-driven financial analysis platform
• Develop data processing pipelines that handle complex healthcare financial data from multiple sources
• Build services and integrations that make sophisticated financial insights accessible to healthcare operators
• Collaborate with AI Engineers to integrate LLM workflows and ensure reliable performance at scale
• Work with Forward Deployed Engineers to implement customer-specific business logic and integrations
• Own system reliability, performance monitoring, and optimization across the platform
• Participate in architectural decisions as we scale to serve enterprise healthcare customers

• Strong software engineering fundamentals and problem-solving skills
• Proficiency in modern programming languages (Python, Go, Java, or similar)
• Experience with APIs, databases, and cloud infrastructure
• Understanding of software design patterns, testing, and deployment best practices
• Customer-first mindset: Driven to understand healthcare operators' pain points and build solutions that truly solve their problems
• Startup mentality: Ready to sprint when priorities shift, jump into unfamiliar areas when the team needs it, and wear multiple hats
• Owner mentality: Take end-to-end ownership of features and systems, driving them from conception to customer impact
• Strong judgment on trade-offs: Balance shipping quickly to learn from customers against investing in longer-term technical foundations
• Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across technical and non-technical teams
• Interest in healthcare and complex enterprise systems
