Python Backend Engineer

Role Overview

We are looking for a high-agency Backend Python Engineer to help us improve and scale the backend systems behind our products. The role focuses on Python, databases, external APIs, cloud infrastructure, testing, validation, and production reliability.

What You Will Do

Develop and maintain backend systems written in Python, work heavily with databases, data models, and external APIs, build and improve integrations with third-party healthcare software providers, and debug production issues.

Why It Might Be a Fit

We care less about formal seniority and more about speed, intelligence, ownership, and reliability. We like people who operate with founder-like urgency: they figure things out, make progress under ambiguity, and care about outcomes more than titles.

Requirements

• Strong Python backend experience in production environments
• Experience with databases, data models, and API integrations
• Solid understanding of REST APIs, authentication, retries, rate limits, and error handling
• Experience with cloud technologies such as GCP, AWS, Azure, or similar
• Experience with background jobs, schedulers, serverless functions, async workflows, or comparable backend infrastructure
• Strong debugging instincts across logs, cloud services, databases, and external APIs
• Experience writing tests and validating backend behavior before shipping
• Ability to work with typed Python, structured data models, and validation frameworks
• Serious experience using AI development tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, or similar
• High intelligence, fast learning speed, bias to action, and ownership mindset
• Comfortable with ambiguity, fast decisions, and a high-trust startup environment
• Clear written and spoken English

Benefits

• Remote work
• Fair compensation based on skills, experience, and location
• Ownership of important backend systems
• Work on software used in real healthcare workflows
• Modern AI-native development workflow
• Room to grow with the company
