Senior AI Full Stack Engineer- Backend Focus joins the engineering team to build a foundational platform supporting the company's growing AI function. This role focuses on platform and API engineering, where you will design and build the service layer connecting AI capabilities, data systems, and product frontends. You will be responsible for developing REST and GraphQL APIs, establishing security patterns like OAuth2 and OIDC, ensuring HIPAA compliance for PHI access, and implementing LLM integration patterns such as streaming responses and tool orchestration. The role requires expertise in TypeScript, Python, Next.js, and React to deliver full-stack features. You will also manage observability infrastructure and define backend engineering standards. This position addresses the technical challenge of creating a secure, scalable architecture for primary care services while integrating complex AI capabilities into a production-grade healthcare environment.

What you'll do

  • Design and develop core backend services, REST/GraphQL APIs, and service-to-service integrations for the AI product stack.
  • Establish security patterns for authentication, authorization, rate limiting, and HIPAA-compliant PHI access control.
  • Implement reusable integration patterns for LLM capabilities, including routing, streaming responses, and tool orchestration.
  • Build logging, monitoring, and alerting infrastructure to ensure platform observability and reliability at scale.
  • Develop full-stack features from server-side APIs to front-end UI using TypeScript and Next.js.
  • Lead architecture reviews and define backend engineering standards for the entire engineering team.

What we're looking for

  • B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 5+ years of software engineering experience with deep expertise in backend and platform engineering.
  • Strong proficiency in TypeScript and/or Python for API and service development.
  • Proven track record building scalable, production-grade REST or GraphQL APIs.
  • Solid understanding of authentication (OAuth2, OIDC), API security patterns, and authorization model design.
  • Working knowledge of HIPAA requirements regarding secure transmission, storage, and access control for PHI.
  • Experience with Next.js and React sufficient for full-stack feature contribution.
  • Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools and LLM coding harnesses.
  • Experience in healthcare, financial services, or other highly regulated industries (preferred).
  • Exposure to event-driven architecture, microservices, or API gateway patterns at scale (preferred).
  • Familiarity with AI/LLM integration patterns, including streaming APIs and tool-use orchestration (preferred).
  • Experience in a greenfield or team-founding engineering environment (preferred).
