About the job
Attuned Intelligence is developing AI Agent workforce technology to revolutionize healthcare communication. Our platform allows healthcare organizations to deploy, manage, and optimize multilingual AI agents for complex patient service workflows like appointment management and prescription services. We are building a trainable, operational platform that functions as a true AI workforce, with EHR integration capabilities, and is already handling thousands of calls daily. We are seeking a Senior Backend Engineer to architect and implement the core backend infrastructure—microservices, APIs, databases, and message queues—that enables healthcare organizations to deploy AI agents at scale. This role is crucial for creating scalable, reliable backend systems that support complex healthcare workflows while maintaining HIPAA compliance and integrating with electronic health record (EHR) systems. We are looking for engineers passionate about quality, reliability, and improving healthcare accessibility.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement high-performance, scalable Python microservices and APIs for the real-time AI agent framework.
- Build resilient distributed systems ensuring high availability and low latency at scale.
- Architect robust data storage solutions using SQL, NoSQL, Redis, and blob storage.
- Implement message queuing systems and event-driven architectures for reliable inter-service communication.
- Build and maintain integrations with Epic EHR and other healthcare systems.
- Ensure HIPAA compliance and security in all system designs.
- Create monitoring and observability systems for platform reliability.
- Take end-to-end ownership of backend features from design through deployment.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams through technical discussions and code reviews.
Requirements
- 7+ years of backend engineering experience building scalable, distributed systems.
- Strong system design skills with demonstrated ability to architect solutions from scratch.
- Experience integrating with external systems and third-party APIs.
- Track record of independently owning and delivering complex technical projects.
- Comfort with AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor).
