AI Disclosure Statement

To ensure an efficient and fair review process, we utilize artificial intelligence tools to assist in the initial screening and assessment of applicants for this role.

Your role as a Senior / Staff Software Developer, Full Stack (Backend & AI)

In the Provider Experience group, you will be a key technical contributor within the AXe Team (Automation & Experience). Your mission is to build the automation and AI capabilities behind Dialogue's ServiceOS, our tech-powered operating system that automates care coordination and shifts our model toward direct-to-care, and to make sure they reach providers through a clear, performant experience.

You will report to the Team Lead and act as a force multiplier for the team. Your scope will match your level: Senior engineers own significant features and services end to end, while Staff engineers also set the end-to-end technical strategy across backend, AI-powered workflows and the provider-facing Care Platform, and mentor the broader engineering team.

What You'll Be Doing

• Backend & Workflow Architecture: Design, build and operate the services and workflow engines that power ServiceOS automation, with a focus on scalability, reliability and clear domain boundaries.
• AI-Powered Automation: Build and ship AI/LLM-based capabilities in production care workflows, including integration patterns, evaluation, guardrails and monitoring.
• End-to-End Integration: Design and implement robust APIs and data contracts between our workflow engines and the Care Platform.
• Full-Stack Delivery: Contribute to our React Care Platform where needed to deliver features end to end, reusing shared UI primitives (Tasks, Forms, Notes).
• Engineering Excellence: Champion observability, testing and performance practices across the stack.
• Technical Leadership: Contribute to design docs and architecture RFCs, and raise engineering standards across the team. At the Staff level, lead cross-functional technical initiatives and drive the technical direction of the area.

We'd love to hear from you if you have

• Solid Engineering Experience: 6+ years of software development experience for Senior, 10+ for Staff, with a track record of delivering complex systems from discovery to production.
• Backend Depth: Strong proficiency in Python (or a similar backend language), API design, data modeling and distributed systems.
• AI/ML in Production: Experience, or strong interest, in building AI/LLM-powered features (prompting, orchestration, evaluation, safety) in a real product.
• Full-Stack Fluency: Working knowledge of React, enough to collaborate effectively and contribute across the stack.
• Product Thinking: The ability to translate complex clinical operational pain points into sound technical solutions.
• Mentorship: A passion for elevating the team's technical skills and fostering a culture of high-quality code and peer review.

At Dialogue, your well-being is our priority

Benefits
