Key Responsibilities
- Architect and build backend services that power LLM-based agents and clinical automations.
- Design robust APIs & data models that are secure, observable and easy for other teams to extend.
- Optimise performance and cost—profile hot paths, tune databases and right-size cloud resources.
- Automate quality: write unit / integration tests, craft alerts and own on-call runbooks so clinicians can trust every interaction.
- Partner with product, design and other engineers to ship new capabilities from concept to production in weeks, not quarters.
