About this role
Role Overview
- Define and own the overall backend architecture for our digital health platform, ensuring alignment with business needs, scalability requirements, and security best practices.
- Design and guide the development of robust and scalable APIs, data pipelines, and backend services using technologies such as PHP, Rust, Python, Typescript and relevant frameworks.
- Lead the selection and integration of appropriate technologies, tools, and architectural patterns to optimize performance, maintainability, and cost-efficiency.
- Define and enforce architectural principles, coding standards, and best practices across backend development teams.
- Design secure and scalable infrastructure on cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure), including containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and serverless architectures.
- Collaborate with DevOps engineers to establish and optimize CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and logging solutions.
- Define data models and database architectures (e.g., PostgreSQL, Redis) that meet the performance, security, and compliance requirements of our SaMD products.
- Ensure the implementation of robust data protection measures aligned with GDPR, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and other relevant regulations.
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to backend engineering teams, fostering a culture of technical excellence and innovation.
- Evaluate new technologies and architectural trends, and recommend their adoption to enhance our platform capabilities.
- Participate in the technical design and review of critical system components and integrations.
- Collaborate with security teams to design and implement security measures throughout the backend architecture.
- Contribute to the technical documentation of the backend architecture and key design decisions.
Requirements
- 7+ years of experience in backend development, with a significant portion in architect roles within cloud-native environments.
- Deep expertise in designing and implementing scalable and resilient microservices architectures.
- Strong proficiency in multiple backend programming languages (e.g., PHP, Rust, Python) and related frameworks.
- Extensive experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and their core services.
- Proven experience with containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) and orchestration.
- Solid understanding of database technologies (both relational and NoSQL) and data modeling principles.
- Strong knowledge of API design principles (RESTful, GraphQL) and integration patterns.
- Expertise in security best practices for backend systems and cloud infrastructure.
- Excellent communication, collaboration, and leadership skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Experience working in a regulated industry (e.g., healthcare, finance) and understanding of compliance requirements is a significant plus.
- Knowledge of healthcare data formats (FHIR, HL7) is an advantage.
- Experience with development in compliance with IEC 62304 is a significant plus.
- Fluent in English; additional EU languages a plus.
