Staff Engineer, Backend Developer

Our partner is building AI-enabled healthcare experiences that help patients access care more efficiently while supporting critical patient engagement initiatives, including Voice AI platforms and modern communication experiences. As these systems continue to evolve, they are adding a Senior Full Stack Engineer with deep backend engineering, cloud architecture, and distributed systems experience.

This is not an AI-first engineering role. The team is looking for a strong software engineer who understands how complex systems behave in production, can design scalable and reliable architectures, and can build software that remains maintainable long after deployment. AI is simply one of the business problems being solved.

The environment includes cloud-native services, APIs, event-driven architectures, distributed systems, and AI-powered integrations. The strongest candidates enjoy discussing system design, architectural tradeoffs, reliability, scalability, and production challenges just as much as they enjoy building new capabilities.
