Job description

Overview

Based in San Francisco, Arine is a rapidly growing healthcare technology and clinical services company with a mission to ensure individuals receive the safest and most effective treatments for their unique and evolving healthcare needs.

Arine is redefining what excellent healthcare looks like by solving issues in medication management through our software platform (SaaS). We combine data science, machine learning, AI, and clinical expertise to deliver a patient-centric view to medication management and develop personalized care plans for patients and their care teams. We aim to improve lives and health for complex patients that have a meaningful impact on healthcare costs.

Backed by leading healthcare investors and collaborating with top healthcare organizations, we deliver recommendations and facilitate clinical interventions that lead to measurable health improvements and cost savings for customers.

The Role

As a Senior Backend Software Engineer, you will collaborate with technical stakeholders to enhance and optimize Arine’s backend web APIs, patient data processing, data management systems, and cloud infrastructure. You will support, maintain, and develop software using tools including Python, AWS, and SQL and NoSQL databases.

What You’ll be Doing

• Design, develop, and optimize algorithms for data processing, prediction, and decision-making.
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to integrate algorithms into production systems.
• Write production-level Python to implement web APIs, CLIs, libraries, and scripts
• Work significantly with AWS services to build/deploy new features, troubleshoot reported bugs, and monitor mission-critical infrastructure and microservices
• Write unit and integration tests, and perform a modest amount of QA
• Contribute to paying down technical debt and improving existing systems
• Collaborate with Frontend and Data Engineers to support Arine’s Clinical Operations team and external users

Who You Are and What You Bring

• Proficient to fluent in Python (build and deploy web APIs, CLIs, libraries, and scripts)
• Proficient to Power-User in AWS Services (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3, IAM, VPC, RDS, CloudFormation, SQS, SNS, EventBridge, Kinesis, etc.)
• Proven track record in architecting multi-component distributed systems
• Solid understanding of synchronous vs. asynchronous design, SQL vs NoSQL databases, and REST API design (WebSockets preferred)
• Comfortable writing unit and integration tests (familiarity with TDD is preferred)
• Proficient with Git/GitHub, branching, and pull requests
• Meticulous attention to detail with the ability to own a project end-to-end — gather and translate requirements, communicate and collaborate with stakeholders, and mentor junior engineers
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with the ability to adapt to changing priorities
• Results-oriented and able to deliver against strict deadlines
• A team player who can also work independently

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience with CI/CD tools and platforms such as Docker
• Experience with event-driven and serverless architectures
• Experience optimizing database design, e.g. indexes, queries, and aggregations
• Experience working with healthcare data or EHR systems

Remote Work Requirements

• An established private work area that ensures information privacy
• A stable high-speed internet connection for remote work
• This role is remote, but you will be required to come to on-site meetings multiple times per year. This may be in the interview process, onboarding, and team meetings

Joining Arine offers you a dynamic role and the opportunity to contribute to the company's growth and shape its future. You’ll have learning and growth prospects, collaborating with Clinicians, Engineers, Software Architects, and Digital Health Entrepreneurs.
