We're seeking a strong generalist Software Engineer (Backend) to build the production systems and customer integrations that bring our models into clinical use at scale. On a lean engineering team, you'll wear several hats: designing and shipping backend services and APIs, building the networking and integration layer that connects us securely to customer hospital systems, standing up production data pipelines and CI/CD, and keeping all of it HIPAA-compliant. You'll work closely with the ML team, lending a hand on ML infrastructure when priorities demand, and you'll do well here if you like owning ambiguous, high-impact problems end to end.
