[Hiring] Senior Backend Engineer @Homera Health

Role Description

This role sits at the core of how our systems work. You’ll build the backend services that power our product and the data pipelines that drive decision-making across growth, operations, and patient experience. This is not a traditional backend role — you’ll work across APIs, databases, and data systems to ensure we can reliably capture, process, and use data at scale. You’ll work closely with founders and cross-functional teams to turn data into real product and business outcomes.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain backend services and APIs that power our platform
• Design and own data pipelines (ingestion, transformation, storage)
• Model and structure data to support product features and internal tools
• Work with large datasets to support analytics, experimentation, and automation
• Optimize database performance (queries, indexing, scaling)
• Contribute to system architecture as we scale (services, data flow, reliability)
• Partner with product, growth, and operations to solve data-driven problems
• Improve observability, logging, and data reliability across systems

Qualifications

• 5+ years of backend engineering experience (Node.js or Python), with demonstrated ownership of production systems
• Experience building or owning data pipelines / ETL workflows in production environments
• Deep experience with SQL and relational databases (Postgres strongly preferred)
• Strong understanding of system design and performance at scale
• Experience working in fast-paced, startup environments with high ownership

Nice to Have

• Experience with event-driven systems or streaming (Kafka, Pub/Sub, etc.)
• Familiarity with tools like Airflow, dbt, or modern data stacks
• Experience supporting analytics, growth, or experimentation teams
• Cloud experience (AWS)
• Exposure to data-heavy applications

Benefits

• Flexible working hours
• Work wherever you choose
• Fun and casual work environment
• We are a diverse, global team!
