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.
What you'll do
- Design and build foundational backend services and APIs using Java and Spring Boot, enabling secure and configurable product workloads in the cloud
- Define clean API contracts, versioning strategies, and service boundaries to reduce coupling across systems
- Design schemas and data access patterns using PostgreSQL, and apply object storage (S3 / MinIO) for large payloads, exports, and artifacts
- Implement authentication and authorization using OAuth2 / OIDC, and define RBAC and entitlement models at the service level
- Integrate with enterprise identity providers and ensure secure service-to-service credential handling
- Build services intended to run on Kubernetes, including readiness/liveness probes, scaling behavior, and resource profiles; collaborate on deployment manifests and Helm charts
- Lead Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for platform and cross-team decisions, and review designs with a long-term systems perspective
- Partner with frontend, reliability, CI/CD, and security engineers to help product teams adopt platform patterns safely and consistently
- Evaluate and apply NoSQL systems where appropriate for high-scale reads, events, or specialized workloads
Requirements
What you bring
- Strong backend engineering experience in Java with hands-on Spring / Spring Boot
- Solid fundamentals with relational databases, preferably PostgreSQL
- Experience with object storage systems such as S3 or MinIO
- Solid understanding of OAuth2 / OpenID Connect and service-to-service authentication
- Experience designing or operating multi-tenant SaaS systems
- Experience deploying and operating services on Kubernetes
- A track record of supporting and improving production systems
Nice to have
- Experience with NoSQL databases such as Cassandra or MongoDB
- Experience with configuration or control-plane systems
- Familiarity with observability tooling across metrics, logs, and tracing
- Prior exposure to architectural governance or ADRs
Benefits
- Join a fast-growing healthcare technology company shaping the future of AI in radiology
- Work on meaningful products that improve radiology workflows and support better patient outcomes worldwide
- Be part of a mission-driven team that values trust, quality, collaboration, and innovation
- Enjoy flexible working hours and a hybrid work arrangement
- Competitive compensation and benefits package, including comprehensive health insurance, and a 401(k) with employer contributions
