We’re looking for a versatile and driven Backend Developer who is passionate about AI and has a "hacker mentality" to help us shape the future of healthcare.
The Role
As our Backend Developer, you’ll be one of the first engineers to help architect, build, and optimize our backend infrastructure, using Python and Flask to create a scalable, high-performance platform. You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams to integrate cutting-edge language models, building intelligent backend systems that leverage AI to enhance the health experiences of our users. Your work will have a direct impact on the success of our platform, and you’ll have the freedom to innovate and problem-solve in a fast-paced, experimental environment.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement a robust backend architecture using Python and Flask, focused on scalability, security, and reliability.
- Develop and optimize APIs to power our mobile and web applications, with an emphasis on integrating and deploying large language models (LLMs).
- Collaborate with the product and frontend teams to define data flows and create seamless user experiences.
- Prototype and deploy ML models, particularly language models, and manage them effectively within the backend infrastructure.
- Take a "hacker" approach to problem-solving, experimenting with novel solutions to optimize performance and functionality.
- Prioritize and implement secure coding practices, especially around health data, adhering to regulations like HIPAA.
- Research and integrate the latest advancements in AI and machine learning, staying up-to-date with industry trends.
Requirements
- 3+ years of backend development experience with a strong focus on Python and Flask.
- Demonstrated experience working with large language models (LLMs) and knowledge of the associated libraries (such as Hugging Face, OpenAI APIs, etc.).
- Solid understanding of RESTful APIs and data handling best practices.
- Strong problem-solving skills, with a "hacker mentality" that embraces experimentation and iteration.
- Background in developing secure, scalable applications in compliance with privacy regulations (HIPAA or similar).
- Knowledge of database management (e.g., PostgreSQL, MongoDB) and designing data pipelines.
- Ability to work autonomously and thrive in a startup environment with evolving priorities.
Nice-to-Have
- Experience with AWS, Docker, or other cloud and container technologies.
- Experience with Cursor (or similar IDEs)
- Familiarity with MLOps and deployment practices for ML models in production environments.
- Understanding of NLP and experience with health data or healthcare-related systems.
- Prior experience in an early-stage startup or high-growth tech environment.
Why Join Us?
- Be part of a purpose-driven team aiming to redefine healthcare.
- Work with state-of-the-art technology, including the latest AI models.
- Flexible and dynamic work environment with plenty of room for autonomy.
- Opportunity to make a meaningful impact and shape a product from the ground up.
