What they're looking for

  • You are a senior software engineer with strong backend and distributed-systems experience, and you enjoy owning systems across their full lifecycle—from architecture and implementation through launch and operations
  • You are an owner-operator who is comfortable with on-call, incident response, debugging, root-cause analysis, and the follow-through required to prevent recurring failures
  • You are a learn-it-all who can develop enough fluency in ML systems to ask strong questions, clarify interfaces, evaluate trade-offs, and help model owners bring their work safely into production
  • You practice effective communication: you write clear technical proposals, make risks and decisions visible, and explain complex system behavior to technical and non-technical partners
  • You lead at all levels by staying hands-on while creating leverage through reusable patterns, thoughtful code reviews, pairing, mentoring, and practical improvements to the team’s engineering workflow
  • You care deeply about privacy, security, auditability, and the safe handling of sensitive healthcare data
