Senior Software Engineer

About Avey

Position Overview

Key Responsibilities

• 1.
• Product Ownership — 0 to 100
• Own product areas end-to-end: from architecture and API design through delivery, operation, and iteration in production.
• Ship across the full lifecycle, greenfield services for new products, and extensions on mature systems already serving hospitals.
• Partner with Product, Design, DevOps, and InfoSec to turn ambiguous requirements into shipped, secure, operable features.

2. Backend, Distributed Systems & Fullstack Delivery

• Design and build high-throughput, low-latency backend services in Go.
• Own core parts of Avey's API Gateway and the services behind our medical products.
• Build for scale and precision, these systems will launch worldwide and carry real clinical weight.
• Ship frontend features in Next.js / React / TypeScript when a product area needs it end-to-end.

3. Production Quality

• Own the production quality of what you ship; testing, resilience, observability, and on-call health.

4. Technical Leadership

• Make architecture decisions for your product area and communicate them clearly through design docs, diagrams, and design reviews.
• Mentor engineers through code review, design review, and pairing.
• Raise the engineering bar across testing, system design, and incident review.

Requirements

• 4+ years of professional software engineering, with substantial ownership of production systems end-to-end.
• Production Go experience is required. You must have shipped and operated Go services on a meaningful scale, with strong command of Go concurrency patterns and performance.
• Hands-on experience with gRPC and Protocol Buffers for service-to-service communication.
• Proven experience designing and operating microservices in production.
• Full product development lifecycle experience from scoping to production to post-launch operation.
• Strong system design fundamentals and a deep understanding of distributed systems.
• Hands-on production experience with event streaming (Kafka or equivalent), caching (Redis), and relational databases.
• Deep Full Stack fundamentals, comfortable shipping features in Next.js / React / TypeScript when needed.
• Strong instincts for testing (unit, integration, contract, e2e), resilience, and observability.
• Security-minded engineering — authz/authn, secrets management, rate limiting, and API-layer controls.
• Working understanding DevOps practices, containerization (Docker), and CI/CD pipelines; Kubernetes experience is a plus.
• Nice to Have
• Healthcare domain experience, HL7, FHIR, HIS/EMR integrations, or clinical products.
• Experience integrating payment gateways (regional or global).
• Prior startup or scale-up experience.
• Experience shipping products to regulated or high-compliance environments (GCC, HIPAA, GDPR).
• Exposure to API gateway design, rate limiting, auth, tenancy, versioning.
• Open-source contributions in the Go ecosystem.
