About the Role

Join vitl as a Backend Software Engineer, where you will play a crucial role in designing and building our innovative platform. As one of the earliest members of our engineering team, you will collaborate closely with our Head of Product & Engineering and the CEO to establish the foundational architecture upon which our products will thrive.

This is a unique opportunity to shape our technology and engineering culture from the ground up. If you are someone who enjoys rapid development cycles, values high-quality products, and excels in environments where you can take ownership, this role is for you.

Your Responsibilities

  • Architectural Design: You will create and implement our core systems, including APIs, database architecture, infrastructure, and data pipelines, always with a focus on performance and maintainability.

  • Ownership of Features: Take full ownership of features from conception through to production, including user and stakeholder engagement, specification writing, and understanding our strategic goals.

  • Impact in Healthcare: Work on meaningful challenges that directly enhance patient care.

  • Rapid Development: We prioritize quick iterations, constant shipping, and learning from actual user feedback.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in developing and deploying production systems using modern backend technologies, including cloud platforms (AWS/GCP), databases (Postgres/MySQL, DynamoDB, Spanner), APIs, and data pipelines (Airflow, Dagster), along with proficiency in languages like Python, Golang, or Java/Kotlin.

  • Demonstrated ownership and entrepreneurial mindset: Experience in building impactful projects from scratch, whether through leading initiatives, launching a company, or contributing to an early-stage startup. You thrive in uncertain environments, act swiftly, and pay meticulous attention to detail.

  • Excellent communication skills: Ability to articulate ideas clearly and present technical concepts persuasively.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Backend as a Service (BaaS) platforms such as Supabase, Firebase, or Hasura.

  • Familiarity with AI-native coding tools like Claude Code or Cursor.

  • Knowledge of healthcare systems and regulations (HIPAA, EPCS, PDMP, EHR/EMR).

  • Front-end development skills in technologies like React, TypeScript, or Next.js.

Compensation

We offer a competitive base salary determined based on experience and qualifications.
