We’re looking for a

Principal Engineer

to take the reins on architecture and technical direction across our stack. This is a highly autonomous, hands-on role for someone who loves to build, shape, and scale systems from the ground up. You’ll work closely with our Head of Engineering to design the next generation of our platform — from backend data models to deployment pipelines to mobile client integrations. You’ll have the freedom to make high-impact decisions and the responsibility to ensure we’re building a foundation that lasts. Our current stack includes a

Python backend ,

serverless AWS infrastructure , and an

Expo React Native

frontend. What You’ll Do

Own architecture end-to-end : design, evolve, and document backend systems, APIs, and infrastructure. Stay hands-on : write production-grade code, contribute to design reviews, and drive technical excellence. Set engineering standards

for testing, observability, CI/CD, and deployment practices. Partner with product and leadership

to translate complex problems into clean, scalable solutions. Guide technical strategy and roadmap

decisions to ensure we’re building with scalability, security, and simplicity in mind. Collaborate cross-functionally

with mobile, design, and clinical stakeholders to deliver reliable and delightful user experiences. What We’re Looking For

8+ years of experience

building and scaling production systems. Deep experience in

Python

(FastAPI, Flask, or similar). Proven expertise with

AWS serverless : Lambda, DynamoDB, EventBridge, API Gateway, S3, and related services. Strong understanding of distributed system design, data modeling, and cloud architecture best practices. Familiarity with

React Native / Expo

or mobile API integration patterns. A track record of technical leadership — setting standards, improving systems, and leading initiatives. Clear communicator who values pragmatism, iteration, and delivering great products quickly. Bonus Points

Experience designing new architectures from scratch or leading major refactors. Background in healthcare, privacy, or regulated environments. Experience with TypeScript, NestJS, or Node.js for edge or integration work. Why You’ll Love It Here

This is a chance to build something that matters — with

full ownership and creative license

to shape the technical direction from day one. You’ll have the autonomy to choose the right tools, improve processes, and build systems that scale gracefully as we grow.
