Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Clinical Ink is a global life science company that brings data, technology, and patient science together to unlock clinical discovery. They are seeking a Backend Engineer to join their Disease Management team, focusing on building backend features in a regulated environment while ensuring quality and safety in their software development.

Responsibilities

• Implement backend features in our Python stack: API endpoints, data models and migrations, and the glue between services
• Write meaningful tests and make it (or its equivalent) pass — correctness is proven by the controls, not by hoping
• Contribute to integrations with wearables and clinical data sources under guidance
• Instrument what you build — add the metrics and logs that make your code observable — and learn our tooling (CloudWatch, Sentry) and how the platform runs in production
• Learn and respect the safety/privacy context — PHI handling, least privilege — as part of normal development
• Use AI coding agents effectively, and build the habit of verifying what they generate
• Communicate clearly in code, PRs, and updates

Skills

• Solid programming fundamentals and some backend experience (Python a plus; we care more about strong fundamentals and learning speed)
• Comfort with APIs, databases/SQL, and version control; eagerness to learn good testing and design
• A real drive to build and ship, and curiosity to keep learning
• Openness to AI-augmented development with a healthy, verify-it mindset
• Exposure to FastAPI / SQLAlchemy / Postgres, AWS, or healthcare data (FHIR, wearables)
• Any experience in regulated, safety-critical, or high-reliability software
