Requirements
Why This Role Exists
The MCP connector catalog is basebox's primary integration surface for hospital systems - Active Directory, HIS, document stores, email, CRM. The Agent Engine is the execution layer that will power our Multi-Agent App and every agent application after it. Both are on the critical path to the Q4 2026 goals.
What We're Looking For

- HTTP service design expertise (REST/RPC, timeout handling, retries)
- Multi-tenant system experience with security focus
- Self-directed problem-solving with underdocumented APIs
- German language capability for DACH hospital customers
Nice to Have
- MCP (Model Context Protocol) or tool-calling framework experience
- Legacy RPC formats (XML-RPC, SOAP) for hospital systems
- Kubernetes/Helm deployment experience
- ISO 27001 compliance knowledge
Tasks
Design and implement first-party MCP servers in async Rust (rmcp, axum, tokio) for hospital system integrations
Contribute to Agent Engine development: tool-call orchestration, permission validation, audit trail integration
Maintain and extend shared framework components (credential forwarding, transport, health, framing)
Write manifest entries per catalog spec for seamless basebox UI integration
Own quality standards: warning-free crates, production-ready code
Participate in agile development with 2-week sprints and self-managed work
Benefits
What We Offer
- Fully remote with access to the Utting office and team meetups.
- Work that matters - your connectors directly enable clinical AI workflows in real hospitals.
- A small team where your decisions ship to production, not a committee.
- No bureaucracy, no handoffs, no "it's not my area" - full-stack ownership.
