What you will be working on:

Key Responsibilities:

API design and development: Closely collaborate with the team on the API design, contribute, and implement solutions. Always aim to reduce complexity while adding new features. Actively engage in the roadmap discussions around new use cases and features to be implemented. You seek to learn from best practices rather than reinventing the wheel.
Continuous improvements: Be proactive and regularly propose and implement improvements in all aspects, from code to documentation, performance, and processes. You take ownership, and we trust you to use your best judgment to address unplanned issues when necessary (we are all about empowering engineers and reducing the noise around them). Always leave a place in a better shape than you found it (even just a little!).
Nurture collaboration with other teams: Our products are used by engineers at Promaton and external partners that integrate with our API. Interact closely with them and provide engineering expertise to support their initiatives and collaboratively build loved solutions.
Ensure compliance with our solutions: AI medical is a highly regulated field. User and patient data must always be protected by adhering to relevant standards (data anonymization, multi-region support, etc.).

Our backend is mostly written in TypeScript and Python, and all our machine-learning applications are in Python. We have an efficient and effective design and development process around RFCs, PR reviews, and pair programming. Our whole stack runs on AWS using EKS, and we deploy our infrastructure changes in a GitOps pipeline using CDK. Our applications are deployed in a GitOps fashion using ArgoCD.
