Job description

Machinify builds the AI operating system for healthcare payment intelligence, combining the minds of industry experts with the power of technology. US healthcare wastes billions of dollars a year inside the claims payment workflow, and Machinify has built a platform to fix that, backed by more than 40 years of payment integrity expertise and a product suite spanning the full claims lifecycle from pre-pay through post-pay. Today, 85+ customers rely on us, including 18 of the top 20 US health plans, covering more than 270 million member lives across commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid. We process over 3 petabytes of claims data and return more than $6 billion in savings and recoveries to our customers every year, with 99% customer retention.

We're now opening a new hub in Bengaluru that isn't a satellite office or a support function: it's a genuine extension of one global Machinify, where local leaders run real teams and own real product and outcomes. The problems our teams solve are hard by design, which is exactly why they haven't been solved before, and why the work is worth doing. Joining now means building Machinify's India presence- its people, culture, and way of working- from the ground up, with real influence over what gets built and how.

About the Role

This role sits within Data Platform Development, part of Machinify's Data Architecture, Tooling & Frameworks organization.

The Data Platform Development team builds the internal systems that power and extend the Machinify platform. We focus on scalable, reliable infrastructure for data processing, communication, and analytics across our products and customer-facing systems. We work closely with the core Machinify platform (written in Scala) as its internal customers: we design and build orchestration and supporting services in Golang and Python that sit on top of the core engine. Our team builds internal products and analytics capabilities that improve performance, reliability, and extensibility, so the platform can scale with our customers and AI-driven use cases. You'll design and build high-performance backend systems that power these AI-driven solutions, working with engineers, data experts, and innovators across the US and India.

What You Will Own

• Design and build scalable, high-performance data software in Golang and Python.
• Build and deploy Kubernetes-based systems that manage containerized applications in cloud-native environments.
• Work with cross-functional teams to understand customer and internal needs, so our systems keep up with future requirements.
• Optimize the performance, reliability, and security of our backend infrastructure.
• Work on data modeling and transformation that support machine learning workflows and AI-powered applications.
• Build agentic AI tooling and services that automate data engineering work (e.g., agentic ETL).

Qualifications

Required

• 3+ years of hands-on backend software development.
• Strong Golang and/or Python.
• Hands-on experience with agentic AI (building with LLMs or agents, not only using chat tools). Strong experience is expected for the Senior level.
• Strong understanding of ETL processes, data pipelines, and working with large datasets.
• Kubernetes orchestration, containerization (Docker, Helm), and cloud-native development.
• Experience building scalable systems that handle high volumes of data and transactions.
• A cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and its ecosystem tools.
• CI/CD pipelines and automated testing.
• Strong problem-solving skills and a passion for clean, maintainable code.

Preferred

• Orchestration tools (Apache Airflow, Prefect).
• Monitoring and logging for distributed systems (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack).
• Data modeling, transformation, and integration experience.
• Scala or other JVM experience (to work against the core platform).
