Responsibilities
- Implement backend features in our Python stack: API endpoints, data models and migrations, and the glue between services
- Write meaningful tests and make it (or its equivalent) pass — correctness is proven by the controls, not by hoping
- Contribute to integrations with wearables and clinical data sources under guidance
- Instrument what you build — add the metrics and logs that make your code observable — and learn our tooling (CloudWatch, Sentry) and how the platform runs in production
- Learn and respect the safety/privacy context — PHI handling, least privilege — as part of normal development
- Use AI coding agents effectively, and build the habit of verifying what they generate
- Communicate clearly in code, PRs, and updates
Skills
- Solid programming fundamentals and some backend experience (Python a plus; we care more about strong fundamentals and learning speed)
- Comfort with APIs, databases/SQL, and version control; eagerness to learn good testing and design
- A real drive to build and ship, and curiosity to keep learning
- Openness to AI-augmented development with a healthy, verify-it mindset
- Exposure to FastAPI / SQLAlchemy / Postgres, AWS, or healthcare data (FHIR, wearables)
- Any experience in regulated, safety-critical, or high-reliability software
