Senior Backend Software Engineer

Senior Backend Software Engineer

At Philips Cardiologs, we're on a mission to revolutionize medical diagnostics by making them more efficient and accessible to everyone, anywhere, at any time. Using cutting-edge machine learning (AI) and cloud computing technologies, we're shaping the future of healthcare. Our flagship product is a SaaS application that assists physicians in diagnosing cardiac diseases, which is already deployed globally.

What You'll Do:

We're looking for a Senior Backend Software Engineer to join and strengthen our Engineering team. You'll play a key role in modernizing our backend architecture, helping us transition from a Ruby on Rails monolith to a microservices architecture. You will also collaborate with feature teams, providing technical leadership and support on key issues such as performance optimization, adopting new technologies, and enhancing our service architecture.

Key Responsibilities:

• Modernize our Backend: Drive the evolution of our backend infrastructure, helping us move from a Ruby on Rails monolithic architecture to a scalable, microservices-based system.
• Support Feature Teams: Act as a key technical resource for feature teams, addressing complex backend challenges such as performance bottlenecks, service architecture improvements, and integrating new technologies.
• Technical Leadership: Guide the team in best practices for backend development, cloud infrastructure, and performance optimization.

You are the right fit if you have:

• Ruby on Rails expertise—Ruby on Rails is one of our primary languages, and you're comfortable working with it in a backend environment.
• Experience with Microservices Architecture: You've worked extensively on microservices and understand the challenges of scaling and managing distributed systems but you're also used to monolithic architecture.
• 5+ years of Backend Development Experience: You've spent significant time designing, building, and maintaining complex backend systems.
• 3+ years of Cloud Experience: You've worked with cloud providers like AWS, GCP, or Azure (AWS preferred) and have experience deploying and managing cloud infrastructure.
• API Telemetry & Monitoring: You know how to effectively monitor and manage the telemetry of APIs to ensure performance and reliability.
• Kubernetes Familiarity: You understand the basics of Kubernetes and have worked with containerized applications.
• Strong Database Experience: You have hands-on experience with an RDBMS, ideally PostgreSQL.
• English Fluency: You are fluent in English (spoken and written), and at least have basic knowledge of French.

Bonus:

• C# Experience: Experience with C# is a big plus, especially for contributing on the backend modernization journey.

If you're excited about taking on technical challenges and playing a pivotal role in our transition to a microservices architecture, we'd love to hear from you!

Apply now and help us build the future of medical diagnostics.
