Job description

We are on a mission to ensure everyone has access to medical expertise, no matter where they are.

Half the world still lacks access to quality healthcare. Even in advanced systems, outcomes are uneven, and clinicians are overwhelmed. Medical knowledge grows faster than human capacity can keep up.

Corti exists to close that gap. Our AI platform expands access to medical expertise, reducing errors, restoring time to clinicians, and making care more affordable, accessible, and human again.

There is no quality healthcare without a quality dialogue, and no reliable AI without a strong foundation. Help us build both.

Corti is the frontier lab for clinical-grade AI. We build world-leading models and infrastructure that power healthcare's most ambitious software - from EHR vendors and virtual care platforms to the health systems that care depends on. Today, Corti serves over 100 million patients annually, including the NHS.

Our flagship model, Symphony, is trained and validated on real clinical data from real patient interactions, and powers the clinical and administrative work that healthcare runs on.

We power the builders who are redefining how healthcare works, from startups creating new patient experiences to enterprises modernizing the systems that care depends on.

If you believe that AI purpose-built for medicine will define the next century of healthcare, you belong at Corti.

Are you a curious person, and interested in contributing to solving real problems in healthcare? Are you someone who loves the Golang programming language?

If so, we would love for you to become an integral part of a fun, autonomous, and team-oriented culture guided by shared values, a high bar for quality, and a willingness to experiment.

Join the Engineering team as a Senior Backend Engineer to be part of pioneering the development of healthcare products. Our team specifically focuses on developing software that assists the medical community within speech recognition. Your work will build the backend that helps the medics, nurses, and doctors learn from their calls to get better for each one. You will learn every day by working alongside experts in software engineering, machine learning, and data science—are you up for the adventure?

• Own the technical development of a product that differentiates Corti the most in the market
• Your development work will impact millions of medical consultations a year at a global scale
• Hands-on development of an innovative solution where design choices matter
• Collaborate across our product and platform teams to define and improve best practices across Corti
• Work with colleagues in design and code reviews
• Bridge technical communication between end-users, technical leads, and Corti engineers
• Contribute to a strong culture of development at Corti through mentorship of developers of all levels
• Extensive experience as a backend developer
• Mastery of Golang
• Experience ideating and implementing features with high complexity
• Hands-on experience with cloud computing architecture and development
• Deep experience with software and product development processes - you have seen where problems can arise, know how to deal with them, and how they can be proactively avoided
• Experience running, monitoring, and operating REST, WebSockets, and GraphQL APIs
• You know what it takes to design intuitive and user-friendly APIs
• Experience with containers and orchestration tools
• A passion for writing clean and efficient code
• Understand what it takes to build integration with other systems used in healthcare would be a bonus
• Experience designing data storage solutions is a plus
• Experience with audio streaming is a big plus
• General knowledge of IP telephony, on a conceptual or protocol level would be favorable
• You will be reporting to the Senior Engineering Manager.
• The position is full-time and starts as soon as possible.
• Hybrid working environment in our Copenhagen Office
• Equipment provided by Corti

Bringing in top talent from all backgrounds is crucial in our pursuit to improve the world of healthcare. We encourage applications from all people and do not discriminate based on race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, and/or disability status.

At Corti, experience comes in many forms, and we’re passionate about creating teams with a multitude of perspectives! If you believe your experience is close to what we’re looking for but not an exact match, we still hope you’ll consider applying!
