About the Role

Were looking for a Senior Backend Engineer (Java) who is deeply hands-on and enjoys building production systems day to day.

This is a code-first role working closely with a US-based technical lead, with strong emphasis on pair programming, rapid iteration, and direct implementation. Youll be involved from design discussions through coding, testing, and deploying — not just reviewing or advising.

The platform supports real-time hospital operations, helping clinical teams coordinate resources, improve visibility, and optimize workflows inside surgical environments where reliability and performance are critical.

What Youll Be Doing

• Write production-quality Java code daily across backend services and APIs

• Pair program frequently with the technical lead to design and implement solutions

• Build, test, and deploy backend services, integrations, and webhooks end to end

• Design data models, schemas, and queries with performance and scalability in mind

• Make pragmatic architecture and technology decisions — and implement them yourself

• Debug and resolve production issues using logs, metrics, and traces

• Improve CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and deployment workflows

• Collaborate directly on roadmap items and help break down work into actionable tasks

• Apply secure development practices aligned with healthcare compliance standards

What You Bring

Must-Haves

• 7+ years of experience as a hands-on Software Engineer

• Strong Java backend experience, actively coding in production systems

• Proven ability to own features from design to deployment

• Strong experience building and consuming RESTful APIs

• Solid experience with SQL databases (PostgreSQL preferred)

• Experience using Redis or similar in-memory datastores

• Hands-on experience with Docker and containerized environments

• Cloud experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP

• Experience working with CI/CD pipelines and Git-based workflows

• Comfortable with pair programming and close daily collaboration

• Strong written and spoken English communication skills

Nice to Have

• Experience integrating with healthcare systems (HL7, FHIR, EHRs)

• Experience with Python scripting for tooling or automation

• Familiarity with data pipelines or ETL concepts

• Frontend experience with React for occasional UI tasks

• Experience in regulated or security-sensitive environments (e.g., healthcare)

• Exposure to enterprise-grade AI or secure LLM environments

Engagement Details

• One dedicated senior engineer (initially)

• 6+ hours of overlap with Seattle (PST) working hours

• Short-term engagement with strong potential for extension

• Work under client-owned repositories and infrastructure

• Darwoft provides continuity and backfill if needed
