On Lumafield's Backend team, you work on the core of our cloud platform from REST APIs through to massively parallelized data processing pipelines operating on our X-Ray and CT image data. We leverage Python in order to move quickly but ensure that we're getting the most out of the language through usage of powerful frameworks and parallelism concepts. Our backend team also owns their code all the way through deployment; you'll work to build your code into Docker containers and deploy them to our different environments including cloud Kubernetes clusters and on-premises servers.

  • Work closely with our research and algorithms team to incorporate cutting edge algorithms into our production codebases
  • Collaborate closely with product managers and engineering leadership to align technical objectives with business deliverables.
  • Get your hands dirty and build - expect to be hands-on and building regularly


About you:

  • Bachelor's Degree in Engineering or related field
  • 2+ years of experience with Python in a production backend setting using major web frameworks (Flask, Django, FastAPI, etc.)
  • Experience with large dataset processing using numpy
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals including git, unit testing, pull request reviews, module/interface design, and applications using parallelism and concurrency.
  • Strong team collaboration, communication and interpersonal skills
  • Experience with Linux server administration, network troubleshooting, docker deployments, productionizing systems


Bonus points for:

  • Experience with Agile Development practices
  • Experience with AWS including EKS, S3, CloudFront, or similar
