Senior Backend Engineer(On Fulltime Contract) AI-Native Care Orchestration

Role: Senior Backend Engineer AI-Native Care Orchestration Platform Location: Pune (Remote with 4-hour overlap with Eastern Time Zone) Type: Full-Time Contract About Azodha Healthcare is moving out of hospitalsinto homes, virtual care, and distributed models. The technology to run this shift doesn't really exist yet. Azodha is solving that. We sit on top of existing systems and coordinate what actually makes care delivery workpeople, workflows, logistics, and datain real time. The result is a single system that replaces fragmented tools and manual coordination. We're not another point solution. We're building the operating layer for decentralized care. What this role is really about You'll be building backend systems used directly by clinicians and care teamswhere scheduling, coordination, and data exchange need to work reliably across fragmented systems. This isn't just about writing clean code. You'll own features end-to-end, make real infrastructure decisions, and work closely with the founder/CEO to shape both the product and the engineering culture. If you're someone who takes pride in delivery, cares about production reliability, and wants to see the direct impact of your work on how care is deliveredthis will feel like the right scope. What you'll work on Backend systems that hold up in the real world Design, develop, and scale backend services using Node.js and TypeScriptBuild REST APIs and GraphQL endpoints powering web and mobile applicationsModel and manage data using PostgreSQL, Prisma, and TypeORMWork with event-driven architectures for coordination, notifications, and integrationsData that drives real-time decisions Design and implement data pipelines using tools like Airbyte, dbt, and Apache Airflow / AWS GlueDesign and optimize data warehousing solutionsEnable systems to react in real timenot just reportSystems that don't get to go down Manage and optimize AWS infrastructure including ECS, EC2, S3, RDS, and LambdaOwn CI/CD pipelines, observability, and production reliabilityParticipate in on-call rotations to ensure platform stabilityBuild for environments where failures have real-world consequencesAI as part of the system (not a side feature) Contribute to AI-led workflowsautomation, orchestration, and data flowsStay current with backend and AI trends, and bring new thinking to the teamCollaboration & craft Conduct code reviews and drive engineering best practicesMentor junior developers with constructive, grounded technical feedbackWork closely with product, QA, frontend, and integrations teamsOwn features from initial planning through delivery and maintenance What we're looking for 4+ years of hands-on backend experience with Node.js and TypeScriptStrong experience with AWS services (ECS, EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda) and infrastructure managementProven experience with data pipeline toolsAirbyte, dbt, Apache Airflow, or AWS GlueStrong proficiency in SQL, data warehousing, and relational databases (PostgreSQL)Experience with ORMs like Prisma or SequelizeComfortable working with event-driven architectures and message queuing systemsExperience implementing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and automated testingStrong track record of end-to-end ownership of product featuresAbility to reason about systems holistically, not just individual servicesExcellent written and oral communication skills; comfortable working async across time zones Preferred (good to have, not blockers) Experience with IaC tools like Terraform or CloudFormationContainer orchestration experience with Kubernetes / DockerExposure to disaster recovery and backup strategies in AWSExperience with GCP or AzureExposure to healthcare data (HL7 / FHIR) or regulated environmentsContributions to open-source backend projects What you'll influence Backend architecture and data infrastructure across the platformEngineering standards, code quality, and delivery practicesHow AI is woven into real production workflowsThe way care delivery scales in decentralized, distributed environments Why this is worth your time The problems are real, messy, and unsolvedThe systems you build directly impact clinicians and patientsYou'll have genuine ownershipnot a narrow slice of a large orgYou'll work closely with founders and shape product direction from the ground upYou'll grow fast in a team that values depth and delivery over process If you're looking for: A well-defined ticket queue in a large org this isn't it Stability over impact also not it n one or more modern backend languages (e.g., Java, C#, Python, Go, Node.js).Foundational understanding of Front-End Development concepts to collaborate effectively with UI teams.Experience with relational and/or NoSQL databases, data modeling, and performance optimization.Knowledge of cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and containerization/orchestration tools (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) is beneficial.Familiarity with distributed systems, event-driven architectures .
