On a lean engineering team, you'll wear several hats: designing and shipping backend services and APIs, building the networking and integration layer that connects us securely to customer hospital systems, standing up production data pipelines and CI/CD, and keeping all of it HIPAA-compliant. You'll work closely with the ML team, lending a hand on ML infrastructure when priorities demand, and you'll do well here if you like owning ambiguous, high-impact problems end to end., * Design, build, and operate backend services and APIs that deliver reliable end-to-end experiences from data ingestion through model output. * Build and maintain the integration layer connecting our applications to customer systems, including PACS, RIS, and EHRs, using medical communication protocols such as DICOM, DICOMweb, HL7, and FHIR. * Design reliable cloud networking for secure customer onboarding, including site-to-site VPNs and connectivity that scales to many external sites, and work directly with customer IT teams to bring each site online. * Build and operate production data pipelines and storage, spanning ETL, data lake, and data warehouse, handling hundreds of terabytes of imaging and clinical data. * Build CI/CD and deployment automation that lets a lean team ship quickly and safely. * Ensure systems handling PHI are HIPAA-compliant by design, with encryption, access controls, audit logging, and secure data handling throughout. * Build model inference pipelines for live and offline traffic, and support ML infrastructure alongside the ML team as needs arise. * Own large backend projects from design through deployment, leading technical design, driving quality through design reviews and testing, and helping set engineering best practices on a lean team. ## Related Videos - [ZEISS & Microsoft - Building the Next Generation Medical Ecosystem in the Cloud](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/424-zeiss-microsoft-building-the-next-generation-medical-ecosystem-in-the-cloud) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [Inside Bitpanda's Tech Stack: Scaling a European Fintech Leader - Markus Dorner](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1979-inside-bitpanda-s-tech-stack-scaling-a-european-fintech-leader-markus-dorner) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Backend Developer Salary in Germany [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/196-backend-developer-salary-in-germany-2023) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [7 Most Popular Web Developer Jobs in Europe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/163-7-most-popular-web-developer-jobs-in-europe) - [Top-Paying Tech Jobs (with Salaries)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/372-top-paying-tech-jobs-with-salaries)
