6 - 10 years of work experience Go NodeJS AWS Terraform PostgreSQL Kafka TypeScript Datadog Company Overview Millions of families juggle elder-care across continents. 2care.ai turns that anxiety into confident, proactive care with an AI Health Voice Agent, WhatsApp-first workflows, and a unified medical-data platform. Founded by founders that have scaled SaaS globally to $80M, built consumer product which was acquired for $500M, and ex-AWS, managed operations, we ve just secured backing from Silicon-Valley & Indian health-tech angels to go after the $430 B global market. Build in India, ship to the world starting USA The Impact You ll Own As a Principal Engineer and Founding Engineering Leader, you will: Architect the future: Design the end-to-end backend infrastructure, including microservices, data pipelines, event buses, and observability, to enable real-time interpretation of thousands of biomarkers. Build for trust & compliance: Lead the implementation of HIPAA/GDPR-ready security measures, role-based access, audit trails, encryption, and FHIR-compatible APIs. Scale real-time care: Create resilient APIs unifying WhatsApp, voice, and web dashboards to ensure 99.99% uptime. Own data strategy: Shape our multi-tenant Postgres + time-series + vector-DB stack for longitudinal health graphs, AI embeddings, and analytics. Lead & mentor: Hire the first backend squad, establish engineering best practices (IaC, CI/CD, trunk-based dev, TDD), and cultivate a culture of autonomy, craftsmanship, and user focus. Partner with founders & doctors: Translate clinical workflows into elegant, safe services. Our Current Stack NextJs(TypeScript) MySql (Planetscale) Cloudflare(R2,Queues, Workers) Redis AI Integration with Claude, OpenAI and Gemini Whatsapp Business Integration Vercel Github with actions for CI/CD Future AI-agent-first stack could look like TypeScript-everywhere + Next.js foundation for DX consistency. Add a vector store (Pinecone / Weaviate) to power retrieval-augmented agents event streaming (Cloudflare Queues at edge) so agents run in parallel and stay decoupled Package each medical agent as an isolated TypeScript service (AWS Lambda / Workers), orchestrated by a light workflow engine (LangGraph-style) Expand Redis into a multi-tier cache (metadata, embeddings, feature flags) & OpenTelemetry tracing Bake in HIPAA/SOC 2 guardrails at middleware level (PII redaction, audit logs) What Success Looks Like in 12 Months Achieve zero-to-one PMF with backend reliably supporting 100x traffic with Pass HIPAA readiness audits to unlock US provider integrations. Hire, mentor, and enable a team of 5 high-bar engineers shipping weekly value. What You Bring 7 + years building distributed systems at scale, ideally in health-tech, healthcare, or other regulated data domains. Expertise in two of Go, TypeScript-Node, Python, plus experience with REST, gRPC/GraphQL, and event-driven patterns (Kafka, SNS/SQS, NATS ). Cloud expertise on AWS (EKS / Fargate / Lambda / RDS / DynamoDB) with IaC (Terraform / CDK / Pulumi) and CI/CD (GitHub Actions, Argo). Security-first mindset: Familiarity with OAuth2/OIDC, JWT, KMS, audit trails, SOC 2 / ISO 27001. *** Healthcare Tech experience a BIG plus. ** Startup DNA : bias for action, comfort with ambiguity, obsession with user outcomes. Bonus: experience with LLM/ML inference, stream processing, or healthcare platforms.
