📋 Description

• Design and own high-throughput, distributed data pipelines and platform infrastructure from concept through production • Decompose large, ambiguous initiatives into structured, executable plans that the team can move on in parallel • Write production-grade Python — strongly typed, well-structured, and built to last — not scripts or notebooks • Optimize SQL at scale: query tuning, data modeling, and understanding execution plans • Architect across boundaries — defining contracts between frontend, backend services, and infrastructure • Be a technical resource and mentor for junior engineers, and partner directly with leadership on roadmap and technical decisions • Instrument systems for observability — knowing what to monitor, not just how to read a dashboard

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with full ownership of production systems • Strong proficiency in Python (mypy, Pydantic, proper abstractions) and SQL at scale • Deep experience building and operating distributed data pipelines and event-driven architectures • Hands-on AWS experience: Lambda, SQS, IAM, CloudWatch, and cost-aware design • Docker as a first-class practice • Habitual, fluent use of AI tools (Claude, Cursor, etc.) as part of your daily workflow • Observability experience with Datadog or equivalent • Familiarity with FastAPI, Django, SQLAlchemy, Celery, or Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, CDK) is a strong plus • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive salary, bonus opportunity, and equity package • Comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits • A 401k retirement plan • Paid vacation and company holidays • Opportunity to make an impact at a rapidly growing mission-driven company transforming healthcare in the U.S.
