Job Specifications

Senior Backend Software Engineer

A rapidly scaling, AI-driven health-tech organisation (Series A funded) is hiring an experienced Senior Backend Engineer to help build and scale the backend infrastructure powering cutting-edge clinical knowledge tools used by hundreds of thousands of clinicians globally.

This is a role with significant ownership, impact, and influence — working in a small, highly capable team of clinician-engineers at the forefront of AI in healthcare.

The Opportunity

You will design, build, and optimise cloud-first backend systems, with a strong emphasis on AWS Serverless, LLM-powered workflows, and highly reliable production infrastructure.

This is the chance to help define how AI is safely deployed in frontline clinical environments.

Tech Stack (Highly Desirable)

AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, Cognito, S3, OpenSearch)
Node.js / TypeScript & Python
DynamoDB & PostgreSQL
Serverless & microservices architecture
Terraform, Docker, CI/CD
Security/Compliance (HIPAA, GDPR, NHS DTAC, SOC2)

What You’ll Do

Build highly scalable backend services and APIs
Work on LLM-powered features (RAG pipelines, embedding workflows)
Develop agentic document extraction systems for clinical PDFs
Own backend reliability, performance, and security
Work cross-functionally with product, frontend, and leadership
Write clean, well-tested, maintainable code

What You’ll Bring

5+ years’ experience in production backend engineering
Strong AWS proficiency
Experience designing scalable, cloud-native systems
Pragmatic problem-solver with a high bar for quality
Experience in smaller teams/startups is highly advantageous

Why This Role?

You’ll join just as the engineering organisation is scaling - meaning real influence, major technical ownership, and the ability to help shape backend infrastructure that will impact healthcare worldwide.

This is not a normal engineering role - it’s mission-driven, fast-paced, and incredibly meaningful with a great salary and stock options
