About this role
Batch: 2020/2021/2022/2023. Requirements: - 3–5 years of backend engineering experience building APIs that real users depend on, including handling production issues when things break - Strong Python fundamentals and a habit of writing clean, testable code - FastAPI or similar async framework experience with a real understanding of async behavior at runtime - Strong PostgreSQL skills across schema design, indexing, query optimization, and debugging slow queries - REST API design experience including versioning, change management, and designing endpoints other engineers consume - Frontend literacy is a plus — especially React or Next.js familiarity that helps in a small, fast-moving team - For fullstack candidates: production-level comfort across Python/FastAPI and Next.js/React, strong TypeScript habits, and experience building internal tools or data-heavy interfaces - Across both profiles: you write pragmatic tests, can own a feature from schema design through deployment, and understand the basics of handling sensitive health data responsibly Note: Show us something you built — a GitHub repo, technical writeup, API you designed, or a shipped product. Tell us what you'd do differently now. We respond well to engineers who reflect on their work, not just list it.
