• Build modular components like:
• Eligibility/decision logic evaluators
• Documentation parsing utilities
• Scoring or risk assessment modules
• Narrative or content generation utilities
• Work in a structured environment with code reviews, logging, tests, and documentation
• Optimize performance and scalability for real-world workloads
• Collaborate closely with the platform lead on architecture, design, and implementation strategy
• Ensure clean coding practices and maintainability across the backend codebase
  

Required Skills

• 7+ years of hands-on backend development experience
• Expert-level proficiency in Python
• Strong experience with FastAPI and asynchronous APIs
• Experience building rule engines, workflow engines, or complex business logic systems
• Strong understanding of:
• Data modeling

• Integrating third-party APIs
• Exposure to automation systems, decision engines, or AI-assisted workflows
• Strong debugging, optimization, and performance tuning skills
  

Who Should Apply

Candidates who:

• Enjoy building V1 systems from scratch
• Have strong ownership and can think both architecturally and at code level
• Want to work on scalable backend systems involving rules, automation, and structured logic
• Are comfortable working directly with technical leadership
• Prefer a high-impact engineering role over repetitive maintenance work
