This is a hands-on, high-impact role - shaping how millions of doctors discover, learn, and collaborate through intelligent, scalable systems. You'll be both architect and builder, working directly with the CTO and engineering leaders across our US and Croatia teams to bring ambitious ideas from prototype to production. In this role, you will: * Architect the future of Vumedi's platform - from scalable video systems to AI-powered content discovery and personalized learning experiences. * Prototype and build AI workflows and agents powered by LLMs (Large Language Models) to transform how doctors interact with knowledge, surface insights, and discover content. * Work closely with Product, Data, and AI teams to build, deploy, and monitor intelligent services (classification, search relevance, personalization, summarization). * Define architectural standards across backend, frontend, and infrastructure layers - ensuring reliability, maintainability, and scalability. * Partner with engineering leadership to drive system migrations and modernization (Python/Django backend, React frontend, AWS infrastructure). * Mentor engineers across pods and raise the technical bar through design reviews, prototypes, and shared best practices. * Lead technical exploration of new tools - from vector databases and RAG frameworks to real-time video personalization - to keep Vumedi on the edge of applied AI. This role is ideal for someone who loves to zoom out on system architecture and zoom in on code - someone who can imagine what Vumedi's platform looks like in five years, then open their editor and start building it., * Build technology that matters: Your work directly impacts how doctors learn and make decisions that save lives. * Lead with impact: Partner directly with the CTO to shape technical strategy, architecture, and innovation roadmap. * Build with AI: Work on applied LLM systems - from intelligent search to AI-driven content agents. * Own your craft: End-to-end responsibility for building systems that scale globally and power mission-critical workflows. * Collaborate globally: Join a world-class team of engineers, data scientists, and product leaders across the US and Europe. ## Related Videos - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [HTTP headers that make your website go faster](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1676-http-headers-that-make-your-website-go-faster) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Build and Deploy a Fullstack App with Open Source Tooling](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/775-build-and-deploy-a-fullstack-app-with-open-source-tooling) - [Event based cache invalidation in GraphQL](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/433-event-based-cache-invalidation-in-graphql) - [Coffee with Developers - Adam Wiggins](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/919-coffee-with-developers-adam-wiggins) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [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) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [React Developer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/198-react-developer-salary-2023) - [Dev Digest 139 - Soft and hard queries](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/487-dev-digest-139-soft-and-hard-queries)
