Senior Backend Engineer

Posted 12 hours ago

Praia Health is transforming how consumers engage with their health.

Healthcare's digital experience is fragmented: a portal here, an app there, a billing system somewhere else, and patients caught in the middle. We unify those disjointed touchpoints into a single, intuitive channel that builds trust through usefulness rather than extraction. Our platform powers patient identity, engagement, and Epic-connected experiences for leading health systems, and we're betting that when consumers are treated as principals,not products, they participate more actively in their own health outcomes.

We're a small team of healthcare and technology veterans who've shipped real things at real scale. What you'll find here:

  • Leadership with deep experience across both healthcare delivery and consumer technology
  • Engineering and product teams with track records of building platforms that move the needle
  • A culture that rewards good judgment, user-centric design, and bold ideas

We're growing across engineering, product, and customer-facing roles as we expand the platform and the health systems we serve.

You'll build and scale the platform services that power Praia's consumer health products, with a particular focus on EMR integration, including FHIR connectivity to Epic and other systems. You'll own end-to-end delivery of secure, well-documented APIs used by both internal teams and external health-system partners.

This is a senior-level role with real ownership over complex systems. If you've integrated with healthcare systems before and want to do it alongside people who take both engineering quality and patient experience seriously, we want to chat.

What you'll do

  • Design and operate EMR integration services using HL7 FHIR APIs and adjacent integration patterns (Epic, MyChart, others)
  • Build secure APIs with strong authentication and authorization, audit trails, and least-privilege defaults
  • Use Databricks / Apache Spark for data engineering work as needs arise — pipelines, jobs, Delta Lake — to support product and integration use cases
  • Produce and maintain developer documentation that engineers actually want to read: OpenAPI specs, integration guides, runbooks
  • Lead code and design reviews; mentor engineers and unblock the team
  • Implement automated unit and integration testing, and promote pragmatic TDD standards
  • Operate with a DevOps mindset: CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, observability, on-call readiness
  • Partner with Product, Design, and Customer teams to turn requirements into reliable systems

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years building and operating production software, with senior- or staff-level scope and ownership of complex systems
  • Strong programming skills in one or more of: Java/Kotlin, TypeScript/Node.js, Python (or similar)
  • Hands-on experience integrating with EMR/EHR systems
  • Experience designing and delivering cloud-native services on AWS, Azure, or GCP, including Kubernetes-based deployments
  • Solid grounding in OAuth2/OIDC, mTLS, JWT, secrets management, and secure SDLC practices
  • Comfort with CI/CD, build automation, and infrastructure-as-code — and owning your own release and operational processes
  • Hands-on observability experience: logging, metrics, tracing, APM tools, and data-driven incident response
  • Databricks experience: jobs and workflows, notebooks, Delta Lake, data pipelines
  • Strong written and verbal communication — able to write clear technical designs and present to senior stakeholders
  • Bachelor's degree in CS / Engineering, or equivalent practical experience

Bonus points

  • Open-source contributions
  • Patents, publications, or conference presentations
  • Prior experience at a healthcare or health-tech company

Benefits

  • Competitive base salary and performance-based bonuses
  • Full medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Company-paid life insurance and short- and long-term disability
  • 401(k) with company matching
  • Flexible PTO
  • Employee wellness programs and resources
  • A supportive and inclusive remote-friendly work environment
