Role Description Our VC-backed, Unicorn-level US client is building the next generation of intelligent billing infrastructure for independent healthcare providers — a cloud-native, AI-native platform designed to eliminate the manual complexity of US medical billing and get providers paid faster. This is a greenfield build with real urgency, a talented team, and meaningful skin in the game for everyone involved. We're looking for a Staff Backend Software Engineer with deep Java expertise and genuine AI fluency to join their Revenue Cycle Management team. You'll be a core technical leader on a small, senior team building a new billing system from the ground up — one where AI isn't bolted on after the fact but baked into the architecture from day one. What you'll be doing: - Designing and building the backend services that power a new AI-native billing platform, hosted on GKE and built cloud-native from the ground up. - Integrating LLMs, ML models, and external AI services into billing workflows — with proper observability, fallback behaviour, and human review where appropriate. - Identifying and implementing practical AI opportunities across the SDLC: summarization, extraction, classification, recommendation, and workflow automation. - Partnering closely with a principal frontend engineer and cross-functional teams (product, design, data, operations) to turn complex billing pain points into scalable solutions. - Leading code reviews, establishing engineering best practices, and mentoring junior and mid-level engineers. - Contributing to technical direction and architecture decisions for a platform with a real end-of-year launch target. Qualifications - 8+ years of professional software engineering experience. - Strong, production-depth Java and Spring Boot — this is their core backend language and a hard requirement. - RESTful APIs and microservices architecture at scale. - Hands-on React and frontend fluency — you're comfortable owning frontend work, not just aware of it. - Cloud platform experience: GCP preferred, AWS or Azure also fine; you understand cloud-native architecture in practice. - Containers, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Harness, Docker) — not just awareness, actual production use. - Database depth across relational and NoSQL: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB. - You use AI tools every day across your full workflow — research, debugging, code generation, deployment. This isn't a nice-to-have; it's how they work and how they expect this person to work. Requirements - Recent TypeScript or Node.js experience alongside your Java background — they're evolving their stack and that combination is genuinely valuable there. - Prior exposure to US healthcare billing, claims processing, or RCM — the domain has a steep learning curve and prior knowledge meaningfully accelerates impact. - Experience building production AI-enabled services — agentic workflows, LLM integration, evaluation frameworks, not just using Copilot. - Track record of greenfield platform delivery with real deadlines and real stakes. Benefits - Fully remote. - You'll report directly to the engineering leader (Sr Director) for this team. - This is a high-ownership, high-impact seat on a small team with a tight timeline — the right person will have the technical depth to lead from day one and the mindset to thrive in a build environment.

• Lead and manage a team of engineers: hiring, performance reviews, continuous feedback and day-to-day support • Define and drive quarterly, release and sprint planning to ensure timely, high-quality delivery • Own architectural decisions and technical direction; review and challenge designs with a focus on performance, scalability, reliability and testability • Ensure production stability: proactive monitoring, incident response, post-mortems and corrective measures • Define and maintain service contracts to ensure seamless communication between systems • Collaborate with Product, Design, Infrastructure and Customer Operations to align technical solutions with business needs • Contribute personally to back-end development, primarily in Kotlin • Participate in the on-call rotation to ensure 24/7 service availability.
