Senior Backend Engineer, Medical Data Pipeline (Python + Rust)
We build software that hospitals, cancer registries and researchers use. You'd own the pipeline that pulls data from hospital systems and transforms it for analytics and research.
Where Rust fits: part of our hospital data acquisition layer, the code that talks to hospital systems, is written in Rust. You'd work on both sides: Rust where performance and correctness matter most, async Python for the rest of the pipeline. Rust experience is a strong plus. Whether you learned it at work or on your own, we want to hear what you built with it.
Stack: Rust, async Python (mypy, pytest, ruff, uv), PostgreSQL and MongoDB, Dagster, Terraform/OpenTofu, AWS (ECS/Fargate, RDS, Lambda, S3), GitHub Actions.
You'll need 5+ years building backend services or data pipelines in production (retries, idempotency, schema design and migrations, well-tested and typed code) and strong Python and SQL. No healthcare background needed.
