About the company
Our client is a healthcare technology company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Build and own backend software for a software platform, while also shaping the product itself by talking to users, deciding what to build and shipping it without detailed direction. Work daily with senior leadership at an early-stage company, moving quickly and applying current AI tooling.

- Work directly with senior company leaders on product direction and delivery.
What we're looking for

- About 2 to 7 years of professional experience, with practical experience mattering more than school.
- Strong backend engineering skills, ideally in early-stage or fast-scaling environments.
- Real product and UX judgment, with the ability to understand users and ship without step-by-step direction.
- Daily use of AI tools to build products.
- Fast learner who wants significantly more ownership than a current role provides.
- Genuine motivation to work on problems in healthcare and to thrive at startup speed.
Bonus points
- Background at a startup, from early stage through later growth stage.
- Experience at a top-tier large technology company, paired with a clear motivation to join an early-stage team.
- Roughly a year of product management experience alongside engineering.
