  • Experience working at both big tech (e.g., FAANG) and high-growth startups
  • Proven track record of building backend infrastructure and frontend experiences.
  • Experience with observability and monitoring tools.

What you'll do:

  • Design and implement scalable backend services, APIs, and data pipelines that power our patient and therapist-facing applications.
  • Build and maintain cloud infrastructure on GCP.
  • Ensure HIPAA compliance across all services, implementing proper PHI handling, audit trails, and security controls.
  • Create robust, well-documented REST APIs with proper validation, error handling, and monitoring.
  • Implement logging, monitoring, and alerting to ensure system health and quickly diagnose issues.
  • Work closely with Frontend, Product, and Clinical teams to define technical requirements and deliver integrated solutions.
