Our products - EkaScribe, EkaDoc, EkaAgents, EkaAPI's and EkaPHR - cover the full span of clinical, patient, and enterprise use cases, and plug into national digital health infrastructure such as India's Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission in India.\nThe role\nWe're looking for a strong backend and systems engineer who has hands-on exposure with AI. Engineering comes first and AI second. You'll design, build and own production systems that combine core engineering, streaming audio, LLMs and agents, and you'll run them at scale. You'll own features from design doc to production to on-call, and you'll ship fast without breaking things.\nWhat you'll do\nArchitect and build on EkaScribe's pipeline: streaming audio intake, ASR, transcript processing, LLM-based document generation, and the doctor's edit-and-publish loop. Low latency and high availability are requirements.\nOwn reliability end to end: SLOs, fallbacks across model providers, retries, idempotency, backpressure, graceful degradation, incident response and postmortems.\nBuild evals and observability for LLM systems: offline eval suites, online quality signals, hallucination and omission tracking, and LLM tracing. Every prompt or model change should ship with evidence that it's better.\nBuild agentic systems: tool-using agents, multi-step orchestration, memory and retrieval, and guardrails that keep agents grounded in what was actually said and recorded.\nDesign for scale and optimised solutions: queue-based async processing, caching, batching, token and GPU cost budgets, and multi-tenant isolation.\nShip at a high pace: short iteration cycles, small safe deploys, feature flags, and clear written design docs.\nWork closely with product, clinical and mobile teams, and turn unclear clinical problems into well-scoped systems.\nMust-have\n4+ years building and running production backend systems, with a track record of owning services others depend on.\nStrong system design fundamentals: distributed systems, concurrency, consistency trade-offs, API design and data modelling.\nStrong exposure and adherence to system reliability principles\nHigh-speed delivery capability/ startup environment without compromising on reliability\nHands-on with Python, Fast API, MCPs, Design Principles, AWS and Kubernetes: deploying, autoscaling and debugging services in production.\nSolid experience with Redis and Postgres: event-driven design, caching, and schema and query design at scale.\nHands-on LLM application and agent experience in production: prompting, tool calling, structured outputs, RAG, and orchestration (LangGraph, CrewAI or custom).\nExperience building evals and observability for LLM systems: test sets, automated and LLM-as-judge scoring, tracing, and regression gates.\nA strong ownership mindset. You own it in production, not just on merge.\nNice-to-have\nWorking knowledge of speech/ASR pipelines: streaming audio, ASR model trade-offs, diarization, and handling noisy, multilingual audio.\nOther languages / technology used for high-throughput services\nVector search (pgvector or similar) and memory systems for agents\nHealthcare or regulated-data experience (ABDM, HIPAA, PII handling)\nOpen-source contributions or public writing\nFull-Time Employee Benefits:\nInsurance Benefits - Medical Insurance, Accidental Insurance\nParental Support - Maternity Benefit, Paternity Benefit Program\nRetirement Benefits - Employee PF Contribution, Gratuity, NPS, Leave Encashment\nOther Benefits - Salary Advance Policy","description_format":"text","description_chars":4045,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Accidental insurance","Dental insurance","Health insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["EHR & Clinical Software","Practice Management Software","Consumer Health Apps"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-03T17:46:44Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":73,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.729,"p_room":1,"age_days":8,"expected_fill_days":28,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-10T05:45:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/eka-care-backend-solution-engineer-sde-ii","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/eka-care-backend-solution-engineer-sde-ii.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-11T01:39:03Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"search","counted_by":"address","units_charged":0,"used_today":0,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":null,"resets_at":"2026-10-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":59359},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=59359"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Feka-care-backend-solution-engineer-sde-ii"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Feka-care-backend-solution-engineer-sde-ii"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Feka-care-backend-solution-engineer-sde-ii"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/eka-care-backend-solution-engineer-sde-ii\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Feka-care-backend-solution-engineer-sde-ii"}]}
