Engineers work closely with product teams and company leadership, take features from idea to production, and have a direct role in shaping the platform.\nEngineering at Bask is AI-first and builder-led. We use tools like Cursor and Claude Code throughout development while maintaining high standards for reliability, testing, and software quality.\nAbout the Role\nWe're looking for a Junior Backend Engineer, Platform to help build and improve the shared backend services and infrastructure supporting Bask Health's telehealth platform.\nYou'll work on APIs, reusable backend components, internal developer tools, database integrations, and infrastructure-related improvements that help our engineering team build and ship software more efficiently.\nUnlike engineers focused primarily on one product area, you'll contribute to systems used across multiple parts of Bask, including patient experiences, clinical workflows, pharmacy operations, and merchant tools.\nOur engineering stack includes TypeScript, Node.js, AWS, SST, and SQL databases, with technologies such as tRPC, Prisma, and Drizzle used across the platform.\nThis is a hands-on junior engineering role for someone with a foundation in backend development and an interest in understanding how production systems work behind the scenes.\nYou'll work alongside experienced engineers, contribute to well-defined projects, participate in code reviews, and gradually take ownership of more complex platform improvements.\nWe're looking for someone who enjoys solving technical problems, likes making systems easier to maintain, and takes pride in building reliable software that other engineers can depend on.\nYou don't need extensive professional experience or a background in healthcare. We care about your technical fundamentals, the projects you've worked on, and your ability to learn and contribute.\nWhat You'll Do\nBuild, test, and maintain shared backend services supporting Bask's telehealth platform.\nDevelop APIs, reusable components, and application logic using TypeScript and Node.js.\nHelp improve backend functionality used across multiple product areas.\nWork with SQL databases, application data models, and database access layers.\nContribute to internal developer tools and automation that simplify engineering workflows.\nLearn and work with Bask's serverless infrastructure using AWS and SST.\nAssist with implementing background jobs, event-driven processing, and asynchronous workflows.\nWork with AWS services such as Lambda, SQS, and EventBridge under the guidance of experienced engineers.\nHelp build and maintain shared authentication, authorization, and configuration functionality.\nContribute to reusable API patterns, validation utilities, and common backend libraries.\nWrite automated tests to verify backend functionality and prevent regressions.\nHelp investigate production issues, troubleshoot errors, and resolve bugs in shared services.\nImprove logging, monitoring, and visibility into backend system behavior.\nAssist with maintaining development environments, deployment workflows, and testing processes.\nCollaborate with product engineers to understand shared infrastructure needs and implement practical improvements.\nParticipate in code reviews, technical planning, and engineering discussions.\nHelp document backend services, internal tools, and common development workflows.\nUse AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor and Claude Code to support coding, debugging, testing, and learning while reviewing generated code carefully.\nFollow appropriate security practices when working with shared infrastructure and sensitive application data.\nContribute to improving performance, reliability, and maintainability across existing services.\nTake ownership of smaller platform improvements from implementation through testing and deployment.\nLearn how backend architecture, infrastructure, and application services work together in a production SaaS platform.\nShare ideas for reducing repetitive engineering work and improving developer experience.\nContinue developing your skills through practical projects, feedback, and collaboration with senior engineers.\nRequirements\n0-2 years of professional software engineering experience, or equivalent hands-on experience through internships, freelance work, bootcamps, personal projects, or open-source contributions.\nWorking knowledge of JavaScript or TypeScript.\nFamiliarity with Node.js and backend application development.\nExperience building or contributing to APIs, backend services, or server-side applications.\nBasic understanding of SQL databases, relational data models, and database queries.\nUnderstanding of programming fundamentals, data structures, and basic software design principles.\nFamiliarity with REST APIs or similar API technologies.\nBasic understanding of how backend applications communicate with databases and external services.\nFamiliarity with Git and collaborative software development workflows.\nAbility to write clean, readable, maintainable code and explain how it works.\nFamiliarity with debugging, testing, and resolving programming issues.\nInterest in cloud infrastructure, backend architecture, and developer tooling.\nWillingness to learn serverless development, asynchronous processing, and production deployment practices.\nBasic understanding of application security and responsible handling of sensitive information.\nAbility to use AI-assisted development tools thoughtfully while understanding and validating generated code.\nStrong problem-solving skills, curiosity, and attention to detail.\nAbility to complete assigned tasks, ask questions, and incorporate feedback from other engineers.\nGood written and verbal communication skills.\nComfortable working in a fast-moving environment and learning unfamiliar technologies.\nNo previous healthcare industry experience required.\nNice to Have\nInternship or project experience involving backend infrastructure, platform engineering, or developer tools.\nExperience building applications using TypeScript and Node.js.\nFamiliarity with AWS, SST, or other cloud infrastructure.\nExposure to AWS Lambda, SQS, EventBridge, or serverless development.\nExperience with PostgreSQL, MySQL, or another relational database.\nFamiliarity with Prisma, Drizzle, or tRPC.\nExperience building reusable backend libraries, API utilities, or shared application components.\nUnderstanding of asynchronous programming, message queues, or event-driven architectures.\nFamiliarity with CI/CD pipelines, GitHub Actions, or automated deployments.\nExperience working with Docker, infrastructure-as-code tools, or development environments.\nFamiliarity with application monitoring, logging, or observability tools.\nExperience implementing authentication, authorization, or API security.\nExperience building internal tools or automating repetitive development tasks.\nFamiliarity with multi-tenant SaaS platforms or monorepo architectures.\nExperience writing automated unit or integration tests.\nContributions to open-source projects or a portfolio of technical projects.\nExperience using Cursor, Claude Code, or similar AI-assisted development tools.\nInterest in building reliable infrastructure that supports multiple products and engineering teams.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7693,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United
