Experienced Python Engineer - Healthcare AI Platform

If you just want to collect a paycheck and leave at 5pm sharp every day... well, we respect that, but we're probably not the right fit.

Month 1: Help finish our platform rewrite (FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Vue3)

• Months 3-6: Build a new system for consult planning, organization, and intelligent follow-up

• 6+ months: Make the platform smarter - integrate LLMs, add automation, reduce manual work for coaches

You'll be primarily backend (Python/FastAPI) but comfortable jumping into frontend (Vue3) when needed. Not full-stack, but not scared of `` tags either.

Our Stack

• Backend: Python, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL, Redis

• Frontend: Vue3 (you'll touch this occasionally - we promise it won't bite), 3+ years of professional Python development experience

• Strong FastAPI or similar framework experience (Flask, Django)

• Comfortable with relational databases and ORMs (bonus points if you actually enjoy writing SQL)

• Can work independently and take ownership

• Adaptable: You have strong opinions, loosely held - willing to align with team decisions

• Speak Dutch and/or English

• Able to work hybrid in Ghent, Belgium (2-3 days/week in office - you don't need to live here, but you need to show up)

Nice-to-haves:

• Experience with LLM/AI integration (prompt engineering, RAG, agents) or eagerness to learn

• Vue3 or modern frontend framework experience

• Built systems from 0*1 before

• Worked in early-stage startups or small teams

• Health tech or data-intensive domain experience

You'll struggle here if you:

• Need heavy direction or prefer clear, stable processes (we're a startup - ambiguity is a feature, not a bug)

• Only want to work on "cool" problems (sometimes we fix bugs and optimize queries - shocking, we know)

• Prefer large companies with established structure

• Can't handle shifting priorities or wearing multiple hats

Competitive salary for the Belgian market

• Equity/stock options - be an owner, not just an employee

• Real impact: Shape product, tech stack, and culture as the third engineer

• Work-life balance: Flexible schedule, family-friendly (many team members have kids - we get it, life happens)

• Growth: Learn AI/LLM integration, system design, product thinking - skills that accelerate your career

• Mission-driven: Build something that genuinely improves people's health and lives (yes, really)

Obesity and diabetes are exploding globally, yet only a fraction of people get professional nutritional support. At BiometrIQ, we're changing that. We build tools that help 400+ nutritional coaches across Belgium and the Netherlands deliver deeply personalized, data-driven care. Our platform transforms wearable data, biomarkers, and lab results into actionable health journeys - making professional nutrition coaching more accessible, precise, and impactful. We've raised €1M from top Belgian investors and we're scaling fast: expanding to France and Wallonia, preparing for Series A in 2026, and building toward an AI-led future of personalized nutrition. The Opportunity You'll be our third engineer joining a small, high-impact team (2 developers + product manager). This means: - Real ownership: You'll own entire domains, not just tickets - Shape the product: Work directly with founders, influence technical direction - Build the AI future: We're not AI-powered *yet* - but that's where we're heading in 2026 and beyond. Help us get there. - Greenfield challenges: Design brand-new systems from scratch (consult planning, AI-driven summarization) - Tangible impact: Your code helps people transform their health and lives
