You will help build the systems, infrastructure, and services that power treatment recommendations, provider decision support and experimentation across multiple healthcare verticals.

This role is ideal for an engineer who is passionate about building scalable platforms and production systems while leveraging machine learning and AI technologies to solve complex healthcare problems. You will work across the stack—from APIs and platform infrastructure to recommendation systems and LLM-powered applications—to enable intelligent, personalized care at scale.

You Will:

Lead the design and development of scalable backend systems, APIs, and platform services that power treatment recommendations and personalization.
Architect and build the infrastructure that enables experimentation, recommendation engines, and AI-powered healthcare experiences
Partner with Machine Learning engineers to productionize models and integrate intelligent decisioning into customer and provider workflows
Design and implement highly reliable, observable, and maintainable distributed systems
Drive platform investments including self-service tooling, testing infrastructure, unified decisioning frameworks, and data pipelines
Collaborate with vertical engineering teams to establish reusable patterns, frameworks, and best practices that enable independent innovation
Evaluate and integrate emerging AI and LLM technologies where they can improve provider efficiency, patient outcomes, or operational scale
Lead complex technical initiatives that span multiple teams and systems
Mentor engineers and provide technical leadership through design reviews, architecture discussions, and hands-on implementation
Influence the long-term technical direction of the MedMatch platform and broader AI ecosystem

You Have:

8+ years of professional software engineering experience building and operating production systems at scale
Strong expertise in backend engineering, distributed systems, APIs, and cloud-native architectures
Demonstrated success leading large technical initiatives and influencing architecture across teams
Experience building data-intensive applications and services that leverage machine learning or recommendation systems
Strong proficiency in Python and modern software development practices
Experience integrating ML models, recommendation engines, or LLM-powered applications into production systems
Familiarity with ML lifecycle concepts including training, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and experimentation
Experience with cloud platforms and modern infrastructure tooling (AWS, Kubernetes, Databricks, MLflow, Airflow, etc.) is a plus
Ability to balance short-term product delivery with long-term platform scalability and maintainability
Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering, product, data science, and clinical stakeholders

Nice to Have:

Experience building recommendation systems, ranking systems, personalization platforms, or decision-support systems
Experience in healthcare, health tech, or other regulated environments
Advanced degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a rel
