Senior Software Engineer – Health Technology

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who enjoys building real, production-grade software that directly impacts how healthcare is delivered.

This role focuses on designing and building cloud-based backend services that power a modern healthcare platform. You’ll work in a small, high-impact team and take ownership of core systems that support electronic health records, data interoperability, AI-enabled workflows, and secure patient data access
.

The work here is practical, not theoretical. Performance, reliability, security, and compliance all matter—and you’ll help translate complex healthcare and data requirements into clean, scalable technical solutions
.

Beyond coding, you’ll have a voice in architecture, collaborate closely with product and Dev Ops teams, and help mentor other engineers as the platform continues to grow.

• Designing, building, and maintaining cloud-native backend services

• Developing scalable RESTful APIs and distributed systems

• Working with healthcare data systems that require high reliability and strict compliance

• Building AWS-based services (including data pipelines and backend components)

• Translating product and data requirements into robust technical designs

• Participating in architectural discussions and system design decisions

• Collaborating with product managers, applied scientists, and Dev Ops teams

• Writing clean, testable code with strong unit and integration test coverage

• Helping improve performance, scalability, and production stability

• 5+ years of professional software development experience

• Strong Java backend development experience (primary language)

• Working knowledge of Python and comfort working across multiple languages

• Hands-on experience building systems on AWS (EC2, RDS, Lambda, or similar services)

• Experience designing and operating scalable distributed systems and APIs

• Familiarity with healthcare data standards and compliance concepts (FHIR, HIPAA)

• Experience with
  MySQL and caching systems such as Redis

• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and software design patterns

• Strong production mindset: performance tuning, debugging, and reliability

• Ability to collaborate across teams and communicate technical ideas clearly

• A positive attitude
  , curiosity, and willingness to learn and grow

This role values strong fundamentals and mindset just as much as deep domain experience.

• Experience working in healthcare or regulated data environments

• Exposure to AI-enabled or data-driven product features

• Experience mentoring junior engineers

• Comfort wearing multiple hats in a growing engineering team

• ✅ A hands-on senior engineering role with real ownership

• ✅ Focused on backend, cloud, and distributed systems

• ✅ Product-driven, not research or proof-of-concept work

• ❌ Not a fully remote role

• ❌ Not a pure frontend or mobile position

• ❌ Not a rigid, siloed enterprise environment

• Location: Pleasanton, CA

• Work model: Hybrid (in office Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday)

• Remote days: Monday & Friday

• Relocation: Not available

• Visa: H1B transfer considered for exceptional candidates (no new H1B)

• Base salary: $150,000 – $180,000

• Equity: Not specified

• Building reliable, scalable backend services used daily by healthcare providers

• Improving system performance, stability, and data interoperability

• Being a strong collaborator and positive influence on a small engineering team

• Helping deliver features that genuinely improve clinical workflows
