Senior Backend Engineer
Designs and owns core backend systems for AI agents handling healthcare workflows, including orchestration, EHR integrations, and HIPAA-compliant architecture. Requires 5+ years scaling high-reliability backend services.
About the job
What You’ll Own
- Core backend systems: Design, build, and own the services, data models, and business logic powering Clarion’s AI agents and healthcare workflows.
- Workflow orchestration: Build infrastructure for multi-step, asynchronous workflows—including agentic AI workflows with conditional logic, retries, and graceful failure handling.
- Healthcare integrations: Own high-stakes integrations with EHRs and legacy healthcare platforms via APIs and RPA.
- Platform foundations: Create internal abstractions and tooling that allow the team to deploy and customize AI assistants for new customers quickly and reliably.
- Security and compliance: Implement and maintain backend authentication, authorization, and HIPAA-compliant architecture required for enterprise healthcare.
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years of experience designing, building, and scaling backend systems in high-reliability production environments.
- Strong backend expertise across APIs, relational databases, async workflows, and distributed systems.
- High ownership and agency—you thrive in ambiguity and take responsibility for system outcomes.
- Ability to communicate clearly, collaborate cross-functionally, and surface risks early.
Bonus: experience with security, auth, or regulated environments (HIPAA familiarity is a plus).
