Job description
At Weave (NYSE: WEAV), weâre on a mission to elevate the patient experience by giving healthcare practices the tools they need to run more efficiently and meaningfully connect with their patients.

As a Senior Backend Engineer on our Users Infrastructure team youâll join a high-trust, high-impact team helping to shape the future of healthcare technology. You will architect the foundational security and identity substrate that every Weave product depends on.

This is a high-leverage role requiring a blend of secure backend engineering and the leadership maturity to grow a new regional hub for a Tier-1 infrastructure unit.
Youâll thrive here if you care deeply about customers, lead with curiosity, and live by our core values: Think creatively. Stay hungry. Do the right thing. Care more. The customer is everything.
If youâre excited about transforming healthcare with purpose-driven work and smart teammates by your side, weâd love to meet you.

- Enterprise Integration Standards: You will manage the infrastructure that bridges our platform with the world, including federated identity (SSO), automated provisioning (SCIM), and secure machine-to-machine (M2M) communication protocols.
- Operational Excellence: Improve system observability (MTTD/MTTR) by integrating monitoring and load-testing protocols into our Tier-1 services.

- Communication: Exceptional written clarity; the ability to write Technical Design Documents (TPDs) that bridge the gap between India and US-based stakeholders., * The âFoundingâ Spirit: You have previously been an early member of a distributed team and understand how to build culture across time zones.
- Security Mindset: You treat âZero-Trustâ as a default, not a buzzword, and have experience with Zanzibar-style authorization or SpiceDB.

Employment with Weave is contingent upon the successful completion of a background check, conducted in accordance with applicable laws.
