Founding Software Engineer - HealthLeap

HealthLeap is pioneering AI-driven healthcare solutions, starting with malnutrition - one of medicine's most under diagnosed conditions. We are developing tools to identify, treat, and prevent malnutrition, improving patient outcomes while capturing missed financial value for our overburdened healthcare systems. But that's just the beginning. Our vision: a comprehensive AI platform addressing a broad spectrum of health conditions.

HealthLeap's AI platform is currently used by Cedars-Sinai to screen every admitted hospital patient daily. Following a successful hospital-wide pilot, Cedars-Sinai signed a multi-year contract with HealthLeap. HealthLeap is now profitable and has a waitlist of over 50 hospitals interested in implementing the platform. We just raised a seed round from top-tier investors.

HealthLeap is also co-publishing a research paper with clinical leaders from Stanford Health, Johns Hopkins, and Cedars-Sinai. The paper is currently undergoing peer review in high-impact journals.

• Collaborate closely with product, infrastructure, and ML engineers to deliver high-quality software solutions.

• Contribute to the overall technical strategy and architecture of our platform.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of professional experience in backend software engineering.

• Strong proficiency in one or more backend programming languages (e.g., Python, Java, Go).

• Extensive experience with databases (e.g. Postgres), data warehousing, and stream processing technologies, including message brokers like Kafka.

• Knowledge of data engineering best practices and ETL processes.

• Experience in developing and integrating with RESTful APIs and websockets.

• Proficiency with cloud platforms (preferably AWS) and containerization technologies.

• Experience with monitoring and observability tools and practices.

Nice-to-haves:

• Experience with healthcare data standards (e.g., FHIR, HL7v2) and integrations.
