Founding Platform Engineer (Full Stack – Python, Next.js, TypeScript)

Location: Sydney preferred, hybrid.

Type: Full-time, contract to hire

Compensation: Competitive salary plus meaningful equity


About the Job

Healthcare is broken by admin. We are building the ambient and agentic platform that lets clinicians focus on patients, not paperwork. Real AI, real workflows, real production.


We move fast, ship carefully, and build products that work in the real world. If you want to shape the foundation of a platform used daily by clinicians, this is your role.


About Us

We are a young, fast moving health tech company building the platform that lets clinicians focus on patients, not paperwork. Reliable AI, real workflows, real production use, shipped quickly and safely.


You’ll join a small, execution-driven team of engineers and clinicians working on the frontier healthtech.


The Role

As our Founding Platform Engineer, you will build and scale the core product surface, developer platform, and production infrastructure. You’ll touch every layer — backend, frontend, data, and deployment — and ship features end-to-end.


You will:

  • Design, build, and maintain backend services using Python (FastAPI/Django)
  • Develop modern web experiences with Next.js and TypeScript
  • Build, monitor, and scale CI/CD pipelines and observability systems
  • Stand up secure cloud infrastructure and automate deployments
  • Define engineering standards, testing practices, and documentation
  • Collaborate directly with founders and users to deliver fast, reliable software


About You

  • Recent grad with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field
  • Strong experience with Python, Next.js, and TypeScript
  • Proven ability to ship production software — personal, academic, or professional
  • Strong fundamentals in algorithms, data structures, networking, and databases
  • Comfortable with Git, CLI, containers, and cloud deployment workflows
  • High ownership, product mindset, and fast learning loop
  • Clear written and verbal communication


Nice to Have:

  • Experience with containers/orchestration, infra as code, queues, or tracing
  • Knowledge of Golang, Rust, or C++ (a plus for performance-critical systems)
  • Deep interest in AI — particularly voice, LLMs, and vision models
  • Familiarity with data privacy, security, and regulated environments


What Success Looks Like (3–6 Months)

  • You’ve helped ship new features and improve existing infrastructure
  • You’ve built or owned a service end-to-end, including CI/CD and observability
  • You’ve improved reliability, performance, or developer velocity
  • You’ve influenced engineering standards and hiring


Why Join

  • Massive ownership — shape architecture, culture, and roadmap
  • Real impact — your code removes hours of admin from clinicians’ weeks
  • Velocity with discipline — ship fast, with proper testing and observability
  • Growth — work directly with technical founders on AI-first systems
  • Reward — competitive salary and meaningful equity


How We Hire

Short intro chat → technical deep dive + pair session → founder conversation → references.

We move fast and will respect your time.
