Senior Software Engineer, Backend Platform
About The Position
Join our engineering team and help build the backend platform that powers Jacobian's AI-driven radiology reporting solution. In this role, you'll design and develop the cloud-native backend services and APIs that product teams build on - establishing the patterns, boundaries, and foundations that make our platform secure, observable, and scalable. You'll work across backend engineering, data architecture, security, and cloud runtime - contributing to both greenfield platform work and the ongoing transition from legacy systems to cloud-native infrastructure. This is a hybrid role based out of our Pittsburgh, PA office, with an expectation of 2–3 days onsite per week.
