About the role
We are looking for a Principal Software Engineer to help build next-generation AI systems within the healthcare space.
This role focuses on designing and deploying highly scalable, production-grade systems related to patient communication, triage workflows, AI agent orchestration, and secure healthcare data platforms.
You will join a highly technical environment focused on solving complex real-world problems through AI, distributed systems, and modern software engineering practices.
This is not a traditional enterprise engineering role — we are looking for builders who thrive in ambiguity, ownership, and high-impact environments.
----------------------------------------
What you’ll do
- Design and deploy AI-powered healthcare systems at scale
- Build backend services and distributed systems using Python and modern architectures
- Work on patient communication and triage workflows
- Contribute to AI agent orchestration and automation layers
- Build secure healthcare data systems with reliability and compliance in mind
- Work on low-latency voice/video and real-time interaction systems
- Integrate with enterprise and healthcare platforms
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to turn ambiguous requirements into scalable solutions
- Help define engineering standards, architecture, and technical direction
----------------------------------------
What we’re looking for
- +5 years building complex, production-grade systems
- Strong backend engineering experience with:
- Python
- distributed systems
- scalable architectures
- Experience working on:
- AI-driven communication systems
- triage or workflow automation
- AI agent orchestration
- secure data platforms
- Ability to translate ambiguous problems into practical engineering solutions
- Strong ownership mindset and product thinking
- Comfortable working in fast-moving startup environments
----------------------------------------
Nice to have
- Experience with:
- low-latency voice/video systems
- healthcare or regulated environments
- Rust, Go, or TypeScript
- enterprise integrations
- Experience building AI-native or agentic systems in production
----------------------------------------
Work model
- Full remote from Spain
- Full-time position
----------------------------------------
💡 Note
We are looking for exceptional engineers capable of building real-world AI systems end-to-end. The focus is on problem-solving, ownership, and production engineering excellence more than adherence to a specific technology stack.
