Job description

We're looking for a Senior Java Back-end engineer who can hit the ground running and take ownership of initiatives end-to-end. You'll work directly with the VP of Engineering on the APIs and data pipelines that power our platform, with real influence over architecture decisions. This is a hands‑on IC role: you'll ship production code yourself, not just design it. You combine deep technical expertise with a collaborative, process‑minded approach — you keep the team in the loop, and you understand that good engineering is as much about communication as it is about execution.

What you'll do

Design, build, and maintain RESTful and event‑driven microservices in Java (and Python optional)

Own and extend integrations with third‑party platforms — CRMs, EMRs, marketing automation, and analytics tools

Build and maintain data pipelines that move, transform, and deliver structured data reliably

Instrument services for observability (logging, tracing, alerting) and participate in on‑call rotation

Lead technical initiatives: scope the work, surface blockers early, and pull in what you need to ship

Identify gaps proactively and bring well‑reasoned recommendations to the team

What we're looking for

4+ years of recent back‑end engineering experience with Java

Strong foundation in building production‑grade REST APIs and microservices

Proficiency with relational databases; ability to write and optimize SQL queries

Used to working with Claude Code day to day — you know how to direct it, review what it produces, and when not to trust it

Highly collaborative and at ease on video — standups, design discussions and pairing over a call are normal working tools for you

Ownership with visibility: you drive your work without being managed step‑by‑step, and the team always knows where it stands

Process‑minded: you loop in the right people before making impactful changes, and document your work as a matter of habit

Clear, concise communicator — you can explain a trade‑off or a design choice to the technical VP of Engineering and to non‑technical stakeholders

Strong on code review — every PR here gets a thorough review; you explain your design decisions, engage seriously with feedback, and change course when the argument is better

Startup experience — you know what it means to operate with lean resources and high expectations

Nice to have

Experience in healthcare tech (HIPAA familiarity a plus)

Background with conversational AI, LLM APIs, NLP platforms, or chatbot infrastructure

How we work

Remote‑first and async‑friendly, but responsive — team spans the Americas, and Linear, GitHub and email get a reply within 24 hours

Linear for project management, GitHub for version control

Small team = high ownership, direct impact, no bureaucracy

To be considered, make sure to include in your application:

your LinkedIn profile

a link to a 2–3 minute video walking us through a design decision you made on a recent service — what you chose, what you considered instead, and how it held up in review
