Role Description A seed-stage healthcare technology company is building the data infrastructure behind faster, clearer healthcare coverage decisions, and is looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to own and scale that infrastructure end-to-end. - The team is small and moves fast, aggregating and normalizing over 100,000 medical policies from 100+ payers into structured, searchable intelligence using AI-driven systems. - The founder is currently the sole engineer, so this hire acts as technical lead — reviewing code and setting architectural direction for a small group of part-time and offshore engineers, without managing people directly. - Day-to-day, the role centers on: - Building and scaling web scraper infrastructure. - Using LLMs to structure unstructured payer policy text. - Standing up CI/CD and reliability improvements across the data pipeline. - Success means the founder is no longer the bottleneck — the data infrastructure runs reliably and accurately and scales without constant direction. Qualifications - 5+ years of backend software engineering experience, with at least 3 years in backend-focused (not generalist full-stack) roles. - 3+ years of professional Python as a primary backend language. - SQL proficiency with relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQL Server), including complex queries and schema design. - Hands-on AWS experience (Azure or GCP transferable) deploying and managing production services, plus CI/CD pipeline ownership. - Experience building and maintaining production data pipelines or ETL systems that ingest from inconsistent, messy, or unstructured external sources. - Demonstrated end-to-end system or architecture ownership at an early-stage startup or small engineering team (2–15 engineers). - English at C1+ CEFR level for technical communication on video calls with the founder and engineering team. Requirements - Web scraping infrastructure experience (Scrapy, Playwright, or similar frameworks). - Production LLM/AI experience, specifically building evaluation or testing harnesses (beyond API consumption). - RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipeline experience. - Healthcare payer data, medical coding (CPT, ICD-10), or prior authorization workflow experience. - Familiarity with Terraform, FastAPI, or Snowflake. Benefits - Competitive Salary: Based on experience and skills. - Remote Work: Fully remote—work from anywhere. - Team Incentives: Recognition for maintaining 100% CRM hygiene and on-time reporting. - Generous PTO: In accordance with company policy. - Health Coverage for PH-based talents: HMO coverage after 3 months for full-time employees. - Direct Mentorship: Guidance from international industry experts. - Learning & Development: Ongoing access to resources for professional growth. - Global Networking: Connect with professionals worldwide.
