Jobbeschreibung

About us

As one of Germany's leading HealthTech companies, we are transforming discharge management by making it technology-driven, patient-centered, and free of bureaucracy. In addition to our market-leading SaaS platform, we are developing AI solutions that radically simplify processes in clinics and for aftercare providers, relieve the burden on healthcare professionals, and put the focus back on patients. We currently connect over two-thirds of all German hospitals with more than 650 rehabilitation clinics, and over 25,000 care and homecare providers. With around 90 employees, we are continuing to grow and are looking for people with the right attitude who want to improve the healthcare system alongside us.

An example

When patients need to go to a rehabilitation clinic after a hospital stay, hospital staff currently need to find an available rehabilitation clinic offering the services that the patient needs (generally done over the phone or via fax (yes, fax…)).

With our solution, hospital staff simply need to import all the relevant information in our platform using a software integration. They can then communicate in a secure way (end-to-end encryption) with the patient's after care providers. A search is started to find a relevant spot in our network of rehabilitation clinics. Patient data and files are transparently and securely exchanged with the relevant parties along the way.

This is just an example for rehabilitation, but we also cover care, transport, medical supplies and hospital transfers. Our product combines a SaaS and a marketplace to automate time-intensive tasks, and let hospital staff focus on their patients rather than processes.

And now, in the next step, we’re going far beyond our core business, aiming to eliminate bureaucracy and media in hospitals with a whole portfolio of AI products.

About Recare

We’re a team of about 90 employees from a broad range of nations.

The tech team is currently composed of 13 devs - we prefer to hire the right people rather than a lot of people.

Our financing is secured.

What you'll work on

Aftercare provider operations are becoming increasingly complex and data-driven. Bringing change is very hard — but we're not afraid : ). You'll build features that help care facilities, rehabilitation centers, and healthcare chains better allocate resources, unlock actionable insights from patient data, and integrate Recare seamlessly into their internal systems.

Our ambitious roadmap focuses on expanding our marketplace's receiver side with enhanced analytics tools, B2C platforms connecting providers directly with patients, expanded API integrations and much more.

Secure communication is at our core—our solution provides end-to-end encryption for healthcare professionals to safely exchange messages and patient data through both our applications and external API integrations.

We have several products in development that we are confident will significantly impact the German healthcare system. And yes, we’re excited by the new opportunities AI unlocks for building powerful features for our customers. If this interests you, let's schedule a video call to discuss!

Your responsibilities as a Lech Lead Backend will include

• Technical Leadership: Drive architectural decisions, code quality, and engineering best practices, identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies and suggest / implement improvements.
• Team Leadership: Handle onboarding, conflict resolution and help developers grow through mentorship, feedback discussions, performance reviews, code reviews, and pair programming.
• Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Work closely with product and design to translate business needs into technical solutions, and communicate technical progress, risks and trade‑offs, serving as the communication layer between engineering, product, design and QA.
• Project Delivery: Own the technical roadmap for your team and ensure projects are delivered on time and to a high standard, lead meetings, prioritise bugs and feature requests, identify and remove blockers for the team, help product managers break down features into deliverable tasks, and work together with the product managers to help define and deliver the team's roadmap.

What technologies you’ll work with as a Tech Lead Backend

• Golang – Our entire backend codebase is in Golang (and we love it!). It’s easy to learn, it’s strongly typed, the internal tooling is fantastic and it compiles fast.
• Postgres – We use Postgres for our databases and GORM to interface with it.
• CI / DevOps – We use both CircleCI and GithubActions to run our unit and integration tests, visual regression tests (in‑house), and automated code analysis (SonarCloud). They’re also used to deploy to our various environments.
• Non‑business tasks – Continuously optimise the backend code to offer the best user experience, analyse and improve database slowdowns and issues.
• Internal automation – Build additional tooling (such as performance profiling tools to identify bottlenecks in backend services and optimize resource usage).

What you will need to succeed as a Tech Lead Backend

• We are looking for experienced developers. You have a CS degree or equivalent knowledge, and you have been coding full time professionally for 6+ years.
• We're looking for someone with production experience with Golang (or other C‑family languages).
• You have proven experience (1–2+ years) managing a team of developers and you, as a tech lead, are expected to support and actively interact with the different members and foster a positive growth environment.
• You should highly value empathy and have pride in your ability to contribute to a happy, engaged and respectful work environment.
• You should be comfortable and excited to dive into more advanced topics, e.g. build pipelines, caching mechanisms, database optimisation, etc.
• Since we're a small team, we want to automate a lot. You should have experience with CI and testing frameworks.
• You want to become a technical owner of a part of our code base – we need people who are looking for responsibilities.
• You are proactive and proficient in the entire product development flow : asking questions, clarifying specs, raising doubts and engaging in meetings.
• Product and Engineering work in a fully remote setup where writing skills are more and more important, so written questions / requirements / docs are very valuable.

We’re looking forward to hearing from you!
