Lead Full-Stack Engineer - Backend Focus

Become a part of our caring community

=========================================

The Lead Software Engineer codes software applications based on business requirements. The Lead Software Engineer works on problems of diverse scope and complexity ranging from moderate to substantial. As Centerwell builds its AI engineering function from the ground up, we need a platform foundation strong enough to support everything that comes next. As Lead Full-Stack Engineer focused on platform and API engineering, you will design and build the service layer that connects AI capabilities, data systems, and product frontends—setting the standards for how services are built, secured, and operated across the team.

You will work with meaningful architectural scope, making decisions that span API design, security patterns, and deployment practices. The platform you build will serve care teams and patients across hundreds of Centerwell clinics. If you want to build platforms that others build on—and do it in service of better primary care—this is the role for you.

• AI and LLM Integration Patterns:** Define and implement reusable patterns for integrating AI capabilities into product APIs, including LLM routing, streaming responses, tool orchestration, and model output handling.
• Observability and Reliability:** Build logging, monitoring, and alerting infrastructure so the platform is operable and debuggable at scale.
• Full-Stack Feature Delivery:** Contribute to p
