We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Backend Engineer, Technical Lead to join our team at Octave. As a key member of our small but growing team, you will play a crucial role in developing robust systems and tools to support clients seeking care, providers offering care, and the operational team and infrastructure.

  • Develop and maintain high-quality code, ensuring seamless integration with frontend interfaces.
  • Mentor and guide junior backend engineers, sharing technical expertise and fostering their professional growth.
  • Optimize database design, performance, and security to ensure data integrity and efficiency.
  • Conduct thorough testing and debugging of backend applications, ensuring high-quality, bug-free software.
  • Oversee deployment and maintenance of backend services, ensuring smooth operation and uptime.
  • Collaborate with frontend and other teams to integrate frontend interfaces with backend functionality seamlessly.
  • Lead code reviews, enforce coding standards, and promote best practices to maintain high-quality codebase.
  • Participate in technical discussions and design reviews to drive innovation and continuous improvement.
  • Develop and maintain technical documentation for backend systems and processes.
  • Take ownership of the backend development lifecycle, from concept to testing, deployment, and monitoring.
  • Stay updated with the latest trends and advancements in backend technologies and tools.
  • Participate in on-call rotation to investigate and help resolve live-site issues.
Requirements
  • Minimum 6 years of experience building robust and scalable backend applications.
  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code & continuous deployment in production.
  • Experience working with healthcare, healthcare technology, and clinical staff, or other regulated industries.
  • Experience with gRPC and Protobuf.
  • Experience with relational database systems like PostgreSQL or MySQL.
  • Experience integrating and synchronizing data with third party APIs.
  • Experience with continuous delivery and troubleshooting production code.
  • Solid working knowledge of Python and Django web framework.
  • Experience developing and deploying enterprise Python applications into production.
  • A preference for writing quality code with automated testing and leaving the code base better than how you found it.
  • Comfortable communicating and collaborating with engineers, clinical, and operations staff to solve open-ended problems.
  • Interest in doing mission-oriented work especially in the healthcare space.
Company Values
  • We're human beings first. We operate with empathy and kindness – with our clients, with our collaborators, and with ourselves.
  • People deserve better than status quo. We're willing to tackle the intractable problems, no matter how big, because someone should. We ask big questions, we craft big solutions, and we challenge ourselves and others to make it happen.
  • No bystanders. No stars. No tourists. Each person has been selected to be here, and with that comes a responsibility to bring your expertise, share your ideas, and help make this company better.
  • Partnership paves the path ahead. We don't operate in a silo, internally or externally. To transform the system, we believe in working with others to create something bigger, better, and stronger.
  • Quality is crucial at scale. Quality is core to our business, and we refuse to sacrifice it as we grow.
  • Progress is a process. In the pursuit of progress, we iterate, reflect, learn, adjust – and always leave things better than we found them.
  • There are people behind every data point. We recognize that numbers tell only one part of the story, and we also do the work to understand impacts at the individual level.
Physical Requirements
  • Prolonged periods sitting at a desk and working on a computer.
  • Must be able to frequently communicate with others through virtual meeting applications such as Zoom and Google Meet.
  • Must be able to observe and communicate information on company provided laptop.
  • Move up to 10 pounds on occasion.
  • Must be eligible to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future.
