Senior Backend Engineer (Backend)

The Future of Healthcare Needs You

At Suki, we’re building technology that listens, understands, and gets out of the way — so clinicians can get back to being clinicians.

Our flagship product, Suki Assistant, uses cutting-edge AI to automate clinical documentation in real time, reducing the time it takes to complete notes by 72%. But that’s just the beginning.

We’re now powering the next wave of voice-enabled healthcare experiences across telehealth platforms, care delivery tools, and specialty EMRs — through Suki Platform, our proprietary AI infrastructure.

Clinicians using Suki spend over 70% less time on admin. Our customers see a 9X ROI in year one. And we’re just getting started.

Suki is reimagining the healthcare technology stack to make the lives of clinicians better.

Our tech stack includes GCP, Kubernetes, Vertex AI, Golang, Python, C++, PyTorch, JAX, Transformers, GPT, LLAMA, MoE, gRPC, Javascript.

What We’re Trying to Do (And Why We Need You)

We’re not here to tweak healthcare around the edges — we’re rearchitecting it. 

That’s where you come in.

You will work directly with the microservices that integrate Suki products with some of the world's top health systems.  You will build out features and services that directly impact doctors and their patients. You will drive the strategy and technical direction of our EMR integration efforts, exploring ways to standardize, streamline, and scale our integration platform.  You will be the builders of the systems that bring Suki to thousands of clinicians and improve their lives everyday. 

Ok, you're sold, but what are we looking for in the perfect candidate?

• Expertise: You know how to code.  You understand our tech stack and can be productive with it. In other words, you’ve done this before.
• Action oriented: You love to build.  You like to ship fast and quickly iterate.
• Creativity: You enjoy listening to user feedback and then building product in novel ways. You’re resourceful and enjoy finding alternate paths to success.
• Problem solving: you use data to help point you in the correct direction.  You optimize relentlessly.  You think business and engineering problems are like puzzles and you stick with them until they are solved.
• Humility: You’re humble and love working in a team without ego to deliver products
• Adaptability:  You thrive in a fast-moving organization that uses light-weight process and cutting-edge technology to have a huge impact.
• Confidence: You trust your abilities and you’re ready to push yourself to the next level.
• Communication: You are a clear communicator and demonstrated consensus-builder.

Requirements:*

• 7+ years experience in a software engineering role
• Intimate knowledge of C++ and Go and the ability to add and modify functionality to improve current integration capabilities.
• Very capable of communication with existing microservices using protobufs as a data flow mechanism.
• Knows how to containerize services using docker and kubernetes.
• Experience taking product technical design from inception to production
• Strong grasp of CS fundamentals including algorithms, data structures and design
• Experience with health systems and EHRs are a plus

*Requirements is such a strong word. We don’t necessarily expect to find a candidate that has done everything we’ve listed, but you should be able to make a credible case that you’ve done most of it and are ready for the challenge of adding some new things to your resume.
