Senior Software Engineer (Python, Typescript) - Full Stack

Augintel • Chicago, IL

1d • Remote

About The Position

Augintel is hiring a Senior Software Engineer to build infrastructure for its Natural Language Processing software, which helps social workers and clinicians find critical information in large volumes of case notes. The engineer will work closely with a machine learning expert to develop software that extracts insights from case notes and indexes them for APIs and the web application. The role is primarily backend-focused, with approximately 70% of the work on Python pipelines and infrastructure and 30% on the web app and APIs using TypeScript, React, and Node.js.

The position is on a small, remote team. The engineer will collaborate with a machine learning researcher, product manager, and clients to frame problems and design solutions. The role also includes occasional direct video calls with clients to troubleshoot issues, deliver features, and whiteboard solutions. The position is intended for an experienced individual contributor who wants to write code and improve their craft rather than move into hands-off architecture or management.

Requirements

• At least 5 years of real-world experience.
• Experience with Python, TypeScript, and AWS.
• Ability to work independently in a remote team and recognize when to ask for help.
• Willingness to communicate with clients directly and collaborate with colleagues.

Responsibilities

• Design and build reliable, scalable pipelines to process millions of case notes.
• Build software that extracts insights from case notes and indexes them for downstream consumers, including APIs and the web application.
• Configure and use AWS services, including ECS, OpenSearch, Lambda, and S3.
• Write SQL for the company's PostgreSQL database.
• Develop the web user interface and APIs using TypeScript, React, and Node.js.
• Collaborate with a machine learning expert, researcher, product manager, and clients to define problems and design solutions.
• Occasionally meet with clients by video call to troubleshoot issues, stand up new features, and whiteboard solutions.

Benefits

• 100% remote work for US-based employees.
• Hands-on experience working alongside machine learning and NLP technology.
• Opportunity to contribute to software that helps protect children and supports social workers.
