Job description

The Job

We are looking for a strong backend engineer to help scale the core infrastructure powering Teton’s platform.

Our systems ingest and process continuous streams of real‑time data from thousands of deployed edge devices across care facilities. These systems power critical alerts and operational workflows used by healthcare staff around the clock.

Position requires physical presence at our office in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Expect travel to the United States to meet users and team members.

This role is not suited for a strict 9‑17 schedule; it requires a dynamic environment.

You Will Work Across

• Distributed data ingestion systems
• Real‑time event pipelines
• APIs and backend services
• Databases and storage systems
• MQTT infrastructure and edge communication
• Reliability, observability, and system performance
• Cloud infrastructure and deployment architecture

Qualifications

We care more about engineering ability and ownership than specific credentials, but strong candidates will likely have experience with several of the following:

• Building and operating large‑scale backend or distributed systems
• Designing reliable real‑time data pipelines
• Working with event‑driven architectures and asynchronous systems
• Scaling APIs and services handling high‑throughput workloads
• Operating production infrastructure with strong reliability requirements
• Database design and performance optimization
• Cloud infrastructure and deployment tooling
• Debugging complex production issues under pressure

What We Offer

• Participation in our warrant program (stock options).
• A small team where your decisions directly shape the product.
• A Copenhagen‑based office with close collaboration; no async‑only culture.
• Work on software that healthcare workers depend on every day – the impact is tangible and immediate.

Join Our Team

We're looking for individuals who share our vision and value ownership and entrepreneurship over a conventional job.

At Teton, you'll have the chance to make a real impact with your work.

If you're ready for more than just a job, come aboard and be part of our mission to transform healthcare.
