The Role
We’re seeking a Staff+ Software Engineer to own the backend architecture and scaling of our clinician-facing provider platform. This is a high-ownership IC role where you will define technical direction for core backend systems, not just implement features.
You’ll act as a technical leader across multiple engineers and teams, setting patterns for APIs, data modeling, and system design that others build on.
What You'll Do:
- Design, build, and maintain backend services, APIs, and data models that power clinician workflows, reporting, and internal tools.
- Own the scalability, reliability, and performance of backend systems and data pipelines in production.
- Define and evolve the backend architecture, including API design standards, data modeling patterns, and system interoperability across teams.
- Lead technical design for complex, cross-functional initiatives, partnering with product, design, and engineering stakeholders to deliver scalable solutions.
- Act as a technical leader and force multiplier by unblocking engineers, driving design reviews, and raising the overall engineering bar across the team.
- Partner closely with front-end engineers to ensure seamless integration of backend services into clinician-facing products and internal tools.
Qualifications:
- 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong backend focus.
- Experience operating at a Staff+ level, influencing technical direction and architecture across teams without formal authority.
- Proven ability to design and scale backend systems, APIs, and data platforms that serve multiple products or business units.
- Strong system design experience, including distributed systems, data modeling, and tradeoffs around reliability, scalability, and performance.
- Experience building and owning production-grade backend services end-to-end, from database design through APIs and integrations.
- Strong proficiency in Python, Node.js, or similar backend technologies, with solid experience in relational and/or NoSQL databases and API design.
- Comfort working in ambiguous, fast-moving environments and turning loosely defined problems into scalable technical systems.
- Familiarity with B2B SaaS, internal tools, or platform/integration-heavy systems is a plus.
- Healthcare or regulated environment experience (e.g., HIPAA/PHI) is a bonus, but not required.
We are open to candidates across multiple levels for this role. Final level and compensation will be determined through the interview process based on experience, technical depth, and scope.
