Backend Software Engineer

Hi, I'm Will, an Engineering Manager at Enso Data! We're excited to announce that we're looking for a new teammate - an experienced backend engineer passionate about making healthcare better. This position offers a salary of $130,000-$140,000 along with bonus program, stock options, and benefits, including paid time off and health insurance.

As a Backend Engineer at Enso Data, you will take full ownership of our core backend infrastructure, including the API and data processing pipelines. You are responsible for the end-to-end lifecycle; you will design, develop, test, deploy, and maintain critical services supporting the Enso Sleep application. A primary focus of this role is ensuring our backend systems are architected for scalability and security while maintaining strict adherence to SaMD regulatory standards, including FDA, HIPAA, and ISO 13485.

On a given day, this could include:

• Core backend development & architecture - architect and scale solutions, owning end-to-end SDLC, and more.
• Interoperability & problem solving - build and maintain Enso Data's interoperability interface, partner with other team members to investigate root cause analysis, deploy reliable technical solutions for customers.
• Quality & engineering excellence - testing and automation, code review and technical documentation.
• Regulatory & compliance (SaMD) - regulatory adherence, QMS integration and cross function collaboration.

Enso Data strives to make healthcare more accurate, efficient, and affordable through waveform artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Using AI and machine learning, our software analyzes billions of data points collected from sensors placed throughout the human body. Our first solution, Enso Sleep, reduces the time clinicians spend analyzing, scoring and managing sleep studies. This results in a simplified and accelerated patient testing, diagnosis, and treatment workflow.

Our AI-powered technology has the capability of informing health decisions beyond sleep medicine, from monitoring patient health in the ICU or through wearables, to detecting and capturing seizure data, to providing earlier detection of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and Alzheimer’s.
