About the Role

We’re looking for a Backend Engineer with deep experience in Node.js and AWS cloud technologies to help architect, build, and scale the core backend services of a funded early-stage startup.
You’ll play a key role in designing and developing RESTful APIs, EHR integrations, workflow automation engines, and HIPAA-grade data pipelines that power our customer-facing platform.

Key Responsibilities

  • Architect, implement, and maintain backend services and APIs using Node.js
  • Build and optimize scalable cloud infrastructure on AWS (Lambda, ECS, S3, RDS/DynamoDB, EventBridge, etc.)
  • Design secure, performant integrations with Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems and third-party healthtech platforms
  • Collaborate with product, frontend, and data teams to deliver robust, testable, and HIPAA-compliant features
  • Improve data normalization, interoperability, and reliability for patient and provider workflows
  • Automate deployment, monitoring, and alerting using DevOps tools (CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code)
  • Ensure system reliability and uptime as we scale to thousands of healthcare users
  • Contribute to technical architecture decisions and mentor junior engineers

Who You Are

  • 3+ years of backend engineering experience (startup or high-growth SaaS preferred)
  • Strong proficiency in Node.js (production-scale APIs/services)
  • Deep, hands-on AWS experience (infrastructure design, deployment, and monitoring)
  • Exposure to healthcare IT, EHR integrations (FHIR, HL7, or custom APIs), or other regulated data environments is highly preferred
  • Strong understanding of secure API design, authentication/authorization, and data privacy best practices
  • Familiarity with distributed systems, message queues, and event-driven architectures
  • Test-driven development mindset with experience in automated testing frameworks
  • Learner’s attitude; disciplined about documentation and thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment

Bonus Points

  • Experience shipping healthtech or fintech data infrastructure
  • Built workflow automation engines or iPaaS-like solutions
  • Experience with Docker/Kubernetes/ECS and Infrastructure as Code (CDK, Terraform)
  • Comfort collaborating across the stack (React or frontend familiarity a plus)
  • Startup DNA: action-oriented, strategic thinker with a hands-on approach

What We Offer

  • Ground-floor opportunity to shape a core piece of healthcare infrastructure
  • Ownership and architecture influence from day one
  • Work with a high-caliber team of healthtech veterans and engineers with multiple exits
  • Competitive salary and meaningful equity
  • Full healthcare benefits, remote flexibility, and a generous vacation policy
Location: Gurgaon/Hybrid
