As a backend engineer, you will be the backbone of a sophisticated simulation platform, managing the infrastructure that powers next-generation 3D reconstruction and AI-driven annotation for surgeon training. You will take ownership of the server-side architecture and data pipelines that drive our game-based medical simulations. Rather than merely writing code, you will design the systems that bring complex 3D data to life.

• Backend Infrastructure & Architecture:
  Design, deploy, and maintain robust server environments capable of uploading, processing, and serving large-scale datasets. Ensure the simulation platform is secure, scalable, and reliably available
• Data Management & Integration:
  Develop comprehensive database solutions for user management and data storage. Lead the integration of backend systems with existing client-side game applications
• 3D AI Pipeline Development:
  Build server-side workflows for 3D scene generation using state-of-the-art methods and AI models
• Interdisciplinary
  
  Collaboration:
  
  Serve as the technical bridge between medical experts, and front-end developers, translating research prototypes into stable, production-ready applications

We are looking for someone who enjoys tackling challenges at the intersection of software engineering, artificial intelligence, and the medical world.

• Education:
  
  Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related quantitative field
• Technical Expertise:
  Strong background in backend development, API design, and database management. Experience with cloud infrastructure or on-premise GPU cluster management is highly desirable
• Game Engine Knowledge:
  Familiarity with Unity and understanding of how backends interact with game engines is a distinct plus
• AI & 3D Interest:
  Familiarity with deploying AI models in production environments. Experience with or strong interest in 3D reconstruction technologies is an advantage
