Our team’s mission is to (1) ensure that our AI can be accessed efficiently and effectively by thousands of users worldwide and that (2) our internal Product teams have the best experience when developing new features. 

We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join the Production and Reliability Engineering (PRE) team of our rapidly growing medical AI company. You’ll be working with an accomplished remote team of a dynamic mix of Backend Developers and Infra/SRE Engineers. 

In this role, you will play a pivotal role in designing and improving the quality, scalability, and accessibility of our API; your expertise will drive AI success for our users. You will collaborate closely with other web and ML product teams to understand their needs and provide robust innovation solutions to tackle their requirements.

Key Responsibilities:

  1. API Excellence: Collaborate on design, reduce complexity, and add features. Embrace best practices.

  4. Compliance: Safeguard user data in our regulated AI medical field.

Our tech stack: 

TypeScript | NodeJS | Express | Python | PyTorch | TensorFlow | Git | Docker | Kubernetes | PostgreSQL | AWS | GitHub | Metabase | Grafana | OpenAPI

Our backend is mostly written in TypeScript and Python, and all our machine-learning applications are in Python. We have an efficient and effective design and development process around RFCs, PR reviews and pair programming. Our whole stack runs on AWS using EKS, and we deploy our infrastructure changes in a GitOps pipeline using CDK. Our applications are deployed in a GitOps fashion using ArgoCD.
