Backend Engineer (Python) at EnsoData in Madison, WI

Description

EnsoData, a fast growing, venture-backed startup based in Madison, WI, is seeking an experienced candidate for the position of Backend Engineer. Reporting to the CTO, this role is a fundamental part of the EnsoData technology team that will take ownership of maintaining and developing interoperable APIs with various 3rd-party data formats.

EnsoData

Our goal at EnsoData is to create cost and time savings for frontline clinicians, improving their satisfaction by allowing them to spend more time and energy focused on the patient instead of the computer. We do this by providing artificial-intelligence-powered software and services.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea affects about 15% of the population, the vast majority of which are undiagnosed and untreated. Untreated sleep apnea contributes to an increased risk of many other comorbid diseases including hypertension, stroke, and heart disease.

Our first product, EnsoSleep, uses our machine learning engine with big data to save clinicians hundreds of hours per month by automating sleep study analysis. EnsoSleep tees up sleep clinicians with a nearly-complete analysis - they need only to review rather than to start from scratch.
