Senior Backend Engineer (Remote)

Our mission at Curai is to make high-quality healthcare accessible to all. We are fulfilling this audacious mission by building a scalable virtual-first primary care service that provides patients with high-quality care anytime, anywhere, from any device, at a very affordable price, by blending high-touch clinical care and  artificial intelligence.

Our company is remote-first and we consider candidates across the United States.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer, focused on backend development, to join the platform and infrastructure team at Curai. This team is responsible for our medical knowledge base, our medical data and FHIR infrastructure, our data platform, our cloud infrastructure and deployment pipelines, and privacy and security engineering, as well as any backend-heavy work in direct support of our product engineering team. Your work will have a tremendous impact on the platform that underpins our applications and thus help us provide low-friction, high-quality care to patients of Curai Health.

• Have a strong orientation to Curai’s mission to make high-quality healthcare accessible to all

• Have worked remotely before, or have a strong feeling that you'd work well with a 100% remote team, spread across multiple time zones (mostly US, but also Europe, and Asia)

• Love tackling complex problems that span multiple systems

• Are excited to try things out to validate new features, and move on if they no longer solve a problem

• Are able to work effectively with others. You will be working closely with other engineers, designers, product managers, and data scientists to build product features and high-quality products

• Have demonstrated feature development ownership; you can lead by example and enjoy mentoring and inspiring other engineers

• Value breadth of knowledge as much as specialization

• Have informed opinions that you hold lightly

• Are excited about getting on the speeding train that is a growing startup

• Enjoy thinking through trade-offs, with both mindfulness of near-term needs and Curai’s long-term strategy

• Embrace writing concise documentation so that onboarding new team members is simple and we reduce siloed domain expertise by individuals

• Have acted as a tech lead or have been in a similar, formal management role on an engineering team

• Writing and reviewing code and design documents

• Having a huge role in shaping the present and future of the platform that underpins Curai Health

• Upleveling the team on something you have expertise in: API or system design, cloud infrastructure, (micro)service architecture, healthcare data, or something else entirely!

• Working with a diverse multi-disciplinary team that includes software engineers, machine learning researchers, physicians, product managers, and UX researchers

• Having the opportunity to mentor and unblock teammates and help disambiguate tricky problems so others can run with them

• Shepherding collaborative projects from the design phase through to launch and subsequent iteration across our software stack

• Helping build a high-performance and inclusive work environment

• Sourcing and interviewing diverse talent to build and grow a strong team

• 4+ years of experience in building and scaling software applications and services

• Coding experience and expertise in Python / Java or similar object-oriented languages

• Expertise in building, maintaining, and working with production-grade systems

• Experience leading multi-disciplinary teams working on complex problems

• Experience in mentoring and growing engineers

• Computer science or similar technical degree, or equivalent practical experience

Culture: Mission driven talent with great colleagues committed to embodying our values, collaborating closely, and driving performance

Wellness: Unlimited PTO, flexible working hours, and remote working options

Benefits: Excellent medical, dental, vision, flex spending plans, and paid parental leave

Financial: 401k plan with employer matching
