Role Description Gradient is hiring a Staff or Senior Software Engineer (Data Processing) reporting to the CTO Sai and eventually managing part of their 15 person engineering team. You’ll write code every day, take ownership of significant parts of the platform, and help shape how the team works as it scales. This is a chance to join one of the fastest-growing companies in medical AI data infrastructure. Within six months you’ll start mentoring junior engineers and leading the technical design on new product areas. The role stays hands-on — this is not a step away from coding. Success requires a highly entrepreneurial mindset and care to uplift others on the team. This role is remote, open to candidates in US Eastern, Central, or Southern time zones. The team gets together in person regularly. What you’ll work on - Building and scaling the data pipelines that ingest, process, and serve medical imaging data. - Designing and shipping new product capabilities end-to-end. - Setting the engineering bar — code review, testing, architecture, deployment practices. - Talking to customers (radiologists, hospital data teams, AI researchers) and translating what you hear into technical decisions. - Mentoring junior engineers and helping the team grow as we hire. Qualifications - Min. 7 years of software engineering experience. - Ideally experience as a tech lead with a team of 4+ engineers. - Strong architectural instincts, both on a codebase and system design level. - Must be strong with Cloud frameworks (either GCP, AWS, Azure) and data pipelines (petabyte scale). - Python experience preferred. - Frontend experience is a plus, but not required. - Passionate about mentorship and leadership. - Experience in startups/scaleups a plus, especially as one of the early engineers who has seen a team grow around you. - You care about the customer. You don’t need a healthcare background, but you do need to want to understand the people using what you build. Application process - Submit your CV and Github. Any questions, email georgina@semata.ai. - First interview is with Semata, Gradient’s hiring partner. It is non-technical and meant to tell you more about the role and understand your motivations, achievements, ambitions. - The second and third interviews are with the technical team at Gradient (CTO / CDO). - Please note that we will prioritise the following criteria in inviting candidates to a first interview: seniority (7+ years), location, startup/scaleup exposure, proven ability to independently drive product and architecture decisions, level of rigour of prior work environments. Referral - Semata acts as Gradient Health's hiring partner for this role. We read patterns in your decision-making and achievements that signal fit for this role. If you have been contacted directly by a Semata team member, we have already interpreted strong alignment signals between you and this company, and you are highly encouraged to apply. - We promise thoughtful and genuine feedback along the way. - We pay for successful referrals.
