๐Ÿ”Ž Vital is looking for a Backend Engineer to join us on our mission to revolutionize how healthcare is delivered today.

ย 

๐Ÿ’ป Vital is an API for at-home health data, and we are making it easy for developers to build virtual-first healthcare apps on top of our platform. We have built a wearables API and at-home test kit API and our current docs can be found at docs.tryvital.io.

ย 

๐Ÿš€ We are a seed-funded startup backed by some of the best investors like Y Combinator.

ย 

๐ŸŒ This is a fully remote position. However, you must be able to provide at least 4 hours of business overlap with GMT. We are not offering any visa sponsorships at this time.

ย 

๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ Some of the early challenges you could be working on:

  • Building a scalable fault-tolerant backend that can handle large amounts of data and the complexity of 50+ 3rd party API integrations. We are at roughly 100 requests / second with more than a million users generating data.
  • Building direct integrations to wearable devices.
  • Building pipelines to scale dealing with the legacy labs

ย 

๐Ÿ‘พ Our Tech Stack

  • Python(Fast API), Go, Typescript, React, React Native, GCP.

ย 

๐Ÿ“Œ You'll be a good fit if...

  • You like to wear many hats. We are a small team, with a lot of things yet to be figured out. You are comfortable operating in such an environment.
  • You are comfortable with owning features and being the driving force behind them. We donโ€™t have Product Managers. Engineers are responsible for managing their work.
  • You care about the outcomes, rather than outputs.

ย 

๐ŸŒณย Requirements

  • Proficient with Python. You have 2 to 3 years of professional experience using Python. You likely know other languages.
  • Proficient with Postgres.
  • Have good communication skills. You will interact with customers directly and on a daily basis.
  • [Nice to have] Experience working with data-intensive backends.

ย 

Company benefits

๐ŸŒŽย Weโ€™re remote-first. Work from wherever you want, within 5 hours of GMT

๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธย Remote office budget - $1000
