Backend/DevOps Engineer

Backend/DevOps Engineer to own health-data pipeline and core infrastructure across Python, Postgres, and AWS in a HIPAA-regulated environment.

Core Responsibilities

• Own the core health-data ingestion and processing layer — integrating wearable APIs, EHR/FHIR data, PDF extraction outputs, and other structured/semistructured inputs into clean, queryable domain objects.
• Design and maintain data APIs consumed by web and mobile clients, as well as AI agents and subsystems.
• Continue development of existing Python API or guide a deliberate reboot if a different stack proves more strategic.
• Manage our infrastructure (roughly 10–20% of workload): IaC, deployments, observability, HIPAA-aligned security posture, and scaling strategy.

What We're Looking For

• Python (FastAPI), Postgres; AWS (ECS, S3, SQS, Cognito, VPC), Terraform.
• Prior health-tech, digital health, or regulated-data experience is a major advantage (HIPAA, FHIR, wearable data, EHR integrations, etc.).
• Strong bias for ownership and end-to-end delivery.
• Comfortable operating across the stack when needed — not siloed, not precious about boundaries.
• Able to work in a fast-moving early-stage environment where requirements evolve and ambiguity is normal.
