## About the role

As a founding engineer, you’ll own the systems that make Backbone work: chart ingestion, document processing, claims workflows, browser and computer-use automation, payer portal navigation, orchestration, queues, reliability, auditability, and the infrastructure needed to scale from thousands of charts and claims to hundreds of thousands.

## What they're looking for

- 3+ years of professional software engineering experience shipping production systems end-to-end
- Generalist range across backend, data, and ML, alongside real LLM experience in production
- Comfort with distributed systems, microservices, queues, workflow engines, data pipelines, or large-scale backend infrastructure
- Healthcare experience is helpful, but not required. Curiosity, rigor, and taste matter more
