Python Backend Engineer - Remote

You will work daily with AI development tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, or similar. We expect you to use these tools seriously, not casually.

Tasks

As our Python Backend Engineer, you will

Develop and maintain backend systems written in Python

Work heavily with databases, data models, and external APIs

• ›Build and improve integrations with third-party healthcare software providers
• ›Work with REST APIs, authentication, webhooks, pagination, retries, rate limits, and edge cases
• ›Maintain data transformation, validation, and synchronization logic
• ›Debug production issues, data inconsistencies, sync failures, and API problems
• ›Improve testing, validation, monitoring, health checks, and failure handling
• ›Work with cloud technologies such as GCP, AWS, Azure, or comparable platforms
• ›Work with serverless functions, background jobs, schedulers, async workflows, or similar backend infrastructure

Use AI development tools as a core part of your daily workflow

Write clean, maintainable, testable backend code

Requirements

• ›We care less about formal seniority and more about speed, intelligence, ownership, and reliability. We like people who operate with founder-like urgency: they figure things out, make progress under ambiguity, and care about outcomes more than titles.

Must-have

Strong Python backend experience in production environments

• ›Experience with databases, data models, and API integrations
• ›Solid understanding of REST APIs, authentication, retries, rate limits, and error handling
• ›Experience with cloud technologies such as GCP, AWS, Azure, or similar
• ›Experience with background jobs, schedulers, serverless functions, async workflows, or comparable backend infrastructure
• ›Strong debugging instincts across logs, cloud services, databases, and external APIs
• ›Experience writing tests and validating backend behavior before shipping
• ›Ability to work with typed Python, structured data models, and validation frameworks

Serious experience using AI development tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, or similar

• ›High intelligence, fast learning speed, bias to action, and ownership mindset
• ›Comfortable with ambiguity, fast decisions, and a high-trust startup environment

Clear written and spoken English

Nice-to-have

• ›Experience with healthcare software, healthcare data, or integration middleware

Experience with async Python and concurrent API calls

Familiarity with GraphQL clients

• ›Experience with document databases, NoSQL systems, or event-driven backend systems
• ›Experience with Docker, CI/CD, secrets management, or observability tooling

Experience working around AI features in production systems

German language skills

Knowledge of nursing homes or elderly care workflows

This role is probably not for you if

You need detailed specifications before making progress

You prefer slow, highly structured corporate environments

• ›You are mainly looking for management, not hands-on building

You dislike debugging messy APIs and production edge cases

You want to use AI tools only occasionally instead of as part of your daily workflow

• ›You optimize for perfect process over fast, reliable execution

Benefits

Remote work

Fair compensation based on skills, experience, and location

Ownership of important backend systems

Work on software used in real healthcare workflows

Modern AI-native development workflow

Room to grow with the company

• ›Why?
• ›Caregivers spend too much time on documentation, coordination, and administrative work. We build technology that reduces this burden.
• ›Reliable backend systems are the foundation for everything we build. If our integrations, databases, and APIs work well, our product can create real value for care teams.

If you want to work on complex backend systems with real-world impact, move fast, use AI tools every day, and take real ownership, we would like to hear from you.
