About the RoleWe are looking for a high-impact engineer to join a small, fast-moving special projects team focused on solving critical product and infrastructure challenges. This is not a typical backend role. You will work across backend systems, data pipelines, and product features to rapidly deliver high-value functionality used in real clinical environments. We are looking for someone who moves fast, takes ownership, and uses AI effectively, while maintaining strong engineering fundamentals and code quality.
Responsibilities- Build and ship backend and full-stack features end-to-end with high ownership
- Use Python for data processing and lightweight service development (e.g., uploader tools, pipelines)
- Design and improve data pipelines for large-scale medical data (EEG, signals, etc.)
- Develop and maintain APIs, services, and systems for data ingestion, processing, and storage
- Work with distributed cloud infrastructure across multiple regions (AWS-based)
- Rapidly prototype and iterate using AI tools while maintaining clean, scalable architecture
- Identify bottlenecks and aggressively improve performance, reliability, and developer velocity
- Collaborate closely with product, ML, and leadership to prioritize and execute quickly
Qualifications- Strong Python skills for building backend services, data processing pipelines, and internal tools (e.g., uploaders, integrations)
- 6+ years of experience building real-world backend systems (flexible for exceptional candidates)
- Strong fundamentals in system design, data structures, and backend architecture
- Ability to move quickly and independently with high ownership
- Experience using AI tools (e.g., coding assistants) to accelerate development
- Good judgment in balancing speed vs. long-term maintainability (avoiding tech debt)
- Comfortable working across backend and frontend when needed
Who This Role Is ForThis role is a good fit if you:
- Enjoy solving hard problems quickly
- Take ownership rather than waiting for direction
- Care about building things properly, not just making them work
- Want to have direct impact on product and users
This role may not be a good fit if you:
- Prefer highly structured, slow-moving environments
- Avoid ambiguity or ownership
- Focus strictly on one layer (backend only, frontend only, etc.)
RequirementsRequired Skills- Backend: Java (Spring Boot), Python
- Infrastructure: AWS (S3, EKS, etc.)
- Databases: SQL / NoSQL
- Frontend: Vue.js
Preferred Skills- Experience with large-scale data processing or distributed systems
- Experience with asynchronous systems (Kafka, job queues, etc.)
- Experience in healthcare, medical data, or regulated environments
- Interest in AI/ML systems or working alongside ML teams
Benefits- Benefits: Comprehensive Health, Dental, and Vision coverage
- Environment: A collaborative, friendly workspace with a focus on ownership and professional growth
- Annual Salary: Expected base salary range: $130,000 - $180,000 annually
- Actual compensation may vary based on experience, skills, qualifications, and location
