Staff Engineer, Backend & Data

Requirements

• We are looking for an engineer with significant backend depth, 8 or more years of experience, with at least a couple of years operating at staff scope or equivalent impact. Beyond tenure, what matters most is whether you have demonstrated the kind of high-impact ownership this role requires.
• Deep AWS experience (Lambda, Fargate, SQS, RDS, and the surrounding ecosystem) and the ability to choose the right service for the right job
• Proven track record of leveraging AI coding tools creatively and effectively to build production systems.
• Demonstrated ability to take autonomous ownership, identifying and resolving systemic issues independently.
• Startup experience, where you have built from scratch at an early-stage company and treated ambiguity as an opportunity rather than an obstacle
• Strong systems thinking, encompassing backend architecture, APIs, databases, and scalability under real-world constraints.
• Clear communication and influence, with the ability to explain tradeoffs to both engineers and non-engineers to earn trust through honesty
• Healthcare alignment with a genuine interest in improving clinical trial access and health equity; HIPAA experience a strong plus
