Heidi Health is hiring a Staff Backend Solution Architect Engineer

About the Role

Heidi Health is looking for a Staff Backend Solution Architect Engineer to architect and build the backend services that power LLM-based agents and clinical automations. You will partner directly with product, AI, and front-end engineers to ship new capabilities from concept to production in weeks.

What You'll Do

  • Architect and build backend services that power LLM-based agents and clinical automations.
  • Design robust APIs and data models that are secure, observable, and easy for other teams to extend.
  • Optimize performance and cost—profile hot paths, tune databases, and right-size cloud resources.
  • Automate quality: write unit and integration tests, craft alerts, and own on-call runbooks.
  • Partner with product, AI, and front-end engineers to ship new capabilities from concept to production in weeks.

What We're Looking For

  • Mastery of software-engineering fundamentals.
  • Proven experience designing APIs (REST or GraphQL) and event-driven systems (Kafka, Pub/Sub).
  • A deep coding and architect mindset with hands-on experience in test-driven development (TDD), AI coding, microservices, and eventual consistency.
  • Deep database expertise in schema design, query optimization, and scaling for both relational and NoSQL stores.
  • Cloud fluency in GCP or AWS, including containers, CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, security, and observability.
  • A track record of shipping and operating distributed systems at scale with high reliability.
  • Rigorous testing, code-review, and documentation habits that elevate team standards.

Nice to Have

  • Hands-on work with AI/LLM services or real-time audio/streaming pipelines.

Technical Stack

  • Languages: Python
  • APIs: REST, GraphQL
  • Messaging: Kafka, Pub/Sub
  • Cloud: GCP, AWS

Benefits & Compensation

  • An additional paid day off for your birthday and wellness days.
  • A generous personal development budget of $500 per annum.

Heidi Health is an equal opportunity employer.
