Job summary

Synthio is hiring a hands-on Software Engineer to build end-to-end systems at the crossroads of backend engineering, AI, and infrastructure. You will own services from design through deployment, delivering production-grade software for healthcare and pharma applications with a strong emphasis on reliability and performance.

You’ll design APIs, integrate external services, and productionize LLM-based workflows while operating in a small, fast-moving team.

Qualifications

• 2–5 years of software engineering or backend-focused experience.
• Strong proficiency in Python.
• Experience designing and building APIs and backend systems.
• Hands-on experience with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar).
• Comfort with cloud infrastructure and DevOps fundamentals (Docker, AWS ECS/EKS/Lambda, observability).
• Interest in AI-powered systems, including voice interfaces.
• Solid systems and architecture thinking with pragmatic tradeoffs.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain backend services powering AI- and LLM-driven products.
• Design and implement APIs, data flows, and service integrations.
• Productionize LLM-based workflows (prompting, retrieval, orchestration, evaluations).
• Deploy and operate services with low latency, high availability, and robustness.
• Design and manage infrastructure (containerization, cloud services, CI/CD).
• Work on voice-enabled systems (STT/TTS, streaming APIs) as part of end-user experiences.
• Monitor, debug, and optimize systems for performance, reliability, and cost.
• Collaborate with founders and product stakeholders to turn ambiguous requirements into scalable software.
• Own features and services end-to-end from design to production support.

Job description

About the Role

Synthio is looking for a hands‑on Software Engineer who enjoys building end‑to‑end systems and shipping production‑grade products. This role sits at the intersection of backend engineering, AI systems, and infrastructure. You’ll work on LLM‑powered and voice‑enabled applications, integrate external APIs, and own services from design through deployment and operation.

You’ll join a small, fast‑moving team building real‑world software for healthcare and pharma, where reliability, performance, and correctness are non‑negotiable. We value engineers who take ownership, move quickly, and are comfortable operating across the stack.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain backend services that power AI- and LLM-driven products
• Design and implement APIs, data flows, and service integrations
• Productionize LLM‑based workflows (prompting, retrieval, orchestration, evaluations)
• Deploy and operate services with a focus on low latency, high availability, and robustness
• Design and manage infrastructure (containerization, cloud services, CI/CD)
• Work on voice‑enabled systems (STT/TTS, streaming APIs) as part of end‑user experiences
• Monitor, debug, and optimize systems for performance, reliability, and cost
• Collaborate closely with founders and product stakeholders to turn ambiguous requirements into scalable software
• Own features and services end‑to‑end, from initial design to production support

What We’re Looking For

• 2–5 years of experience in software engineering or backend‑focused roles
• Strong proficiency in Python
• Experience designing and building APIs and backend systems
• Hands‑on experience working with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar)
• Comfort with cloud infrastructure and DevOps fundamentals (Docker, AWS ECS/EKS/Lambda, observability, basic security)
• Interest in AI‑powered systems, including voice and conversational interfaces
• Solid systems and architecture thinking, with a pragmatic approach to tradeoffs
• Ability to work with incomplete specs and make sound engineering decisions independently

Why This Role Matters

At Synthio, we build software that directly supports patients, physicians, and pharma teams. This is production software, not prototypes or demos. The systems you build will be used in real workflows, under real constraints, and at real scale. You’ll have meaningful ownership and a clear line of sight from your code to real‑world impact.

• Competitive salary
• Remote‑friendly
