What You Will Do:

As a backend Software Engineer, you will design, develop, and maintain platforms and APIs built on Cloud infrastructure and services that power our AI-enabled mobile, XR, web and desktop applications across Stryker’s digital health ecosystem. This role focuses on delivering secure, scalable, event‑driven systems that ingest, process, and expose clinical and operational data including text, images, STL files, CT scans, and videos. These systems also invoke AI models to summarize and analyze that data. You will work across cross‑functional teams to implement robust data pipelines, ensure high reliability, and contribute to architecture, documentation, and quality processes within a regulated environment. This role is backend-focused, but you will have the opportunity at times to contribute to Web UI application components.

In this role, you will help build the foundations that enable the next generation of intelligent, data‑driven healthcare solutions. You'll contribute to systems that support clinicians, operating rooms, and patients around the world giving you the opportunity to work on meaningful technology with real clinical impact. You'll join a collaborative team within an AI-focused organization that values innovation, craftsmanship, and continuous learning, and you'll have room to grow your technical skills across distributed systems, Cloud platforms, and modern software engineering practices, including AI-assisted development. If you're passionate about creating reliable platforms that power cutting‑edge AI-enhanced products, this is a role where you have a real impact.

What You Will Need:

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related discipline along with 2+ years of professional software development experience.
• Experience writing maintainable and testable code using modern programming languages (e.g., C#, Python, Java), with application of established design principles and patterns
• Experience developing backend services, and APIs hosted in the Cloud leveraging PaaS, SaaS, and IaaS applying design patterns/principles
• Strong debugging, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills across distributed systems
• Experience with Single Page Application frameworks such as React or Angular.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience implementing and working with Docker containers.
• Familiarity with security considerations and protocols (e.g., OAuth, SSL/TLS)
• Exposure to regulated environments or working on medical device software
