Job description

Docplanner is the world's leading healthcare platform, creating a space where we can all make the healthcare experience more human. We serve over 100 million patients and process 15 million bookings every month. We connect patients with over 2 million healthcare professionals and offer an integrated end-to-end solution for doctors and clinics to manage their practice and deliver a seamless patient experience.

Our "make people live longer and happier lives" mission is the heartbeat of our company. Behind it are 2,700+ people who are building a company where we can all grow and be challenged.

Job Description

We are forming a foundational team in the PMS Area (Patient Management System), dedicated to powering Docplanner’s Practice Management Systems that our doctors and clinics use globally every day. As a Senior Full Stack Engineer in Colombia, you will report to our technical leadership and collaborate with a high-impact Global Team. While we are moving toward a TypeScript-centric stack (Node.js & React), we seek engineers who are able to lead through architectural challenges and can apply their expertise across different technologies as our ecosystem evolves.

What You Will Do

• Design, develop, and maintain high-quality software with a focus on long-term sustainability, scalability, and performance.
• Lead the transition from legacy components toward a modern, TS-based microservices architecture.
• Write clean, efficient, and well-tested code primarily using Node.js, TypeScript, and React, while remaining open to using the best tool for specific architectural problems.
• Take accountability for the full SDLC: from initial technical design and architecture discussions to deployment and post-launch monitoring.
• Ensure high performance and robustness in high-traffic, mission-critical environments where millions of requests are handled daily.
• Drive improvements in the team's ways of working by promoting Agile practices, TDD, and a "You build it, you run it" DevOps culture.
• Mentor fellow developers and contribute to code reviews and technical documentation to ensure high engineering standards.
• Explore and integrate emerging technologies—including AI/ML where relevant—to enhance system efficiency and user experience.

Qualifications

• Minimum 6 to 8 years of professional experience in software engineering, with in-depth knowledge of creating highly scalable and observable backend systems.
• Extensive experience in Node.js and TypeScript and knowledge of distributed systems, asynchronous programming, and event-driven architectures (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ).
• Solid knowledge of database design and optimization for large-scale data sets (SQL + NoSQL).
• Proficiency in React and modern frontend patterns.
• Understanding of software engineering best practices, including SOLID, DRY, and Clean Architecture (Hexagonal/DDD).
• Experience with cloud-native practices, containerization (Docker), and orchestration (Kubernetes).
• Advanced English.

Additional Information

• Direct contract for an indefinite period.
• Remote work.
• People Pass food vouchers.
• Prepaid medical insurance.
• Stock option plan.
• Continuing education platform.
