Who We Need 

Join Truveta’s Intelligence Platform and Applications team to build the backend services, platform foundations, and production systems that power the next generation of healthcare intelligence. Guided by Truveta’s mission of Saving Lives with Data, you’ll help engineer reliable, scalable, and secure services that transform complex health data into actionable intelligence for clinicians, researchers, and healthcare organizations.

This Opportunity 

Patients, doctors, and medical researchers deserve technology that is reliable, secure, and capable of turning health data into meaningful insight. As part of the Intelligence Platform and Applications team, you’ll use your expertise in backend engineering, distributed systems, cloud-native infrastructure, and production operations to build the robust service layer that intelligent healthcare applications depend on.

This is an opportunity to own backend systems end to end: from service design and API development to deployment, debugging, observability, reliability, and security. You’ll work across platform, application, data, and AI-enabled workflows, ensuring that services are well-architected, operationally sound, and built for long-term maintainability.

We are seeking backend engineers who:

Key Qualifications: 

• You have 5+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful ownership of backend services, production systems, or platform infrastructure.
• You have designed, built, deployed, debugged, and operated backend services in production, and you understand what it takes to keep services reliable after launch.
• You bring strong Python backend engineering experience, including async programming, testing, packaging, API design, and maintainable service architecture.
• You are comfortable using modern Python tooling such as uv, ruff, and ty to build clean, reliable, and maintainable services.
• You think beyond implementation and care about production operations, including observability, reliability, incident-aware development, debugging distributed systems, and deployment troubleshooting
• You build secure services by default, with experience in secure service design, secrets handling, token hygiene, dependency scanning, CVE triage, OWASP-aligned practices, and security patching within SLA
• You have built backend service integrations with LLM APIs such as OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, or equivalent, with attention to reliability, security, latency, error handling, and maintainability
• You have practical Experience in agentic AI frameworks or interoperability protocols such as LangGraph, LangChain, MCP, or A2A, and understand how these patterns support tool orchestration, service integration, and AI workflow design
• You have hands-on experience with cloud-native platform foundations such as Kubernetes, containers, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform; AKS and Azure Pipelines experience is preferred
• You understand the importance of responsible artifact and dependency management, with experience using systems such as JFrog, Docker/PyPI proxying, GPU artifact mirroring, or similar workflows
• You have a B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
