As Qure scales to support tens of millions of patients across 100+ countries, the Go layer needs to handle real load with reliability, cost efficiency, and clinical-grade safety. You'll be one of the first dedicated Go engineers at Qure, helping set the standard for how Go is designed, built, tested, deployed, and operated across the organisation.\n\nResponsibilities: \nArchitect and ship scalable, production-grade Go services end-to-end on AWS serverless (Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions, EventBridge, SQS, and DynamoDB) for healthcare workloads at real scale.\nMake scaling, reliability, and cost trade-offs explicit through capacity planning, load testing, and post-incident reviews.\nBuild for the next order of magnitude, not just today's load.\nDefine the Go playbook at Qure: project layout, testing patterns, observability, deploy story, and on-call runbooks.\nThe next 5-10 Go engineers will inherit these decisions.\nSet the technical and cultural boundary between Go and Python: what moves, what stays, why, and how we measure it.\nDrive design decisions through written RFCs and lead cross-functional initiatives across engineering, product, and clinical teams.\nHire, mentor, and level up the next Go engineers, as the practice grows.\nSet the bar for code review and technical writing.\nOperate what you ship. Healthcare workloads have no maintenance window.\nOwn reliability, security posture, and incident response for Go services.\nContribute to internal Go guidelines, security practices, and developer enablement across the org.\n\nRequirements: \nBachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.\n5+ years of backend engineering experience; 3+ years shipping production Go in systems you have operated, not just contributed to.\nDeep AWS serverless experience: Lambda cold-starts, IAM scoping, EventBridge / Step Functions / SQS, and cost trade-offs you've felt firsthand.\nTrack record of starting or significantly shaping a codebase that others followed.\nProven ability to design and operate scalable distributed systems: capacity planning, idempotency, retries, dead-letter handling, eventual consistency, and observability that works at 3 am.\nExcellent written communication: design docs, RFCs, and code reviews that level up the team.\nPragmatic polyglot mindset: respects Python; can articulate when Go is not the right choice.\nComfort with Claude / Codex / LLM tooling in your daily workflow.\nStrong problem-solving, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.\n\nPreferred Skills: \nExperience in the healthcare industry, with an understanding of FDA/regulated software, compliance, and security requirements.\nExposure to DICOM, HL7 FHIR, or PACS integrations.\nExperience introducing a new language or migrating services from Python (or Ruby/Node) to Go at production scale.\nOSS contributions to the Go ecosystem.\nSkills\nAWS, Distributed Systems, DynamoDB, EventBridge, Go, Golang, Idempotency, Lambda, Observability, SQS, Scalability, Serverless","description_format":"text","description_chars":3348,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Computer Vision","Medical AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-25T13:35:10Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":36,"reasons":["seen:2","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-28T05:59:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/qure-ai-sr-backend-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/qure-ai-sr-backend-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-28T16:17:22Z","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":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":22014,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-29T00:00:00Z"}},"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":2180},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2180"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fqure-ai-sr-backend-engineer"},{"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%2Fqure-ai-sr-backend-engineer"},{"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%2Fqure-ai-sr-backend-engineer"},{"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/qure-ai-sr-backend-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fqure-ai-sr-backend-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3238203}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"qure.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3238203},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
