Job Title
Staff Backend Software Engineer
Job Description
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 Staff 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;
* C# expertise (or another modern programming language like Go, Java, or similar) — C# has become our primary language, and you’re comfortable working with it.
* Experience with Microservices Architecture: You’ve worked extensively on microservices and understand the challenges of scaling and managing distributed systems.
* 7+ years of Backend Development Experience: You’ve spent significant time designing, building, and maintaining complex backend systems.
* 5+ 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.
* Strong Database Experience: You have hands-on experience with an RDBMS, ideally PostgreSQL.
* Strong distributed systems and queuing experience: You have hands-on experience with distributed systems and queuing technologies such as SQS+SNS, Kafka or equivalent.
* Terraform Familiarity: You’re comfortable using Terraform to manage infrastructure as code.
* Kubernetes Familiarity: You understand the basics of Kubernetes and have worked with containerized applications.
* English Fluency: You are fluent in English (spoken and written), and at least have basic knowledge of French.
Bonus:
* Ruby on Rails Experience: Experience with Ruby on Rails is a big plus, especially for supporting legacy systems during the transition.
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!
