Backend Engineer – Healthcare AI Systems
Who we are
SouthGuild is an applied AI R&D lab operating where medicine, business, and audit meet code. We don’t just build APIs, we weaponize data, automate workflows, and give AI real-world legs. From NLP to data pipelines to healthcare automation, we turn chaotic systems into clean abstractions and working products.
Why this might be your kind of chaos
- Daily exposure to gnarly real-world data (FHIR, X12, CSVs from the 90s)
- DSA jams for those who actually enjoy problem-solving
- You get a say in product direction, not just tickets
- Peers who’ll debate system design and drag you to a gym after
- The lab vibe: small, sharp, and allergic to mediocrity
What you’ll actually do
- Tame EMR APIs that refuse to behave like REST
- Build streaming pipelines for real-time clinical data
- Architect async systems that don’t fall over at scale
- Make healthcare bots sound human without hallucinating ICD codes
- Implement audit trails so clean they make compliance officers smile
- Optimize databases that hold entire hospital histories
- Deploy, trace, and debug distributed systems that matter
What we expect
- Exposure to backend engineering (Node.js / Go / Python — choose your weapon)
- Comfort across queues, caches, and databases (SQL + NoSQL both)
- Strong async programming chops, goroutines, promises, coroutines, doesn’t matter
- You design for scale before scale breaks you
- Security-first mindset: encryption, access control, paranoia included
- You write clean, traceable code with commit messages that make sense
Bonus points if…
- You’ve touched FHIR, HL7, or survived EDI hell
- You’ve debugged a deadlock without crying
- You’ve shipped something with Twilio or voice integrations
- You’ve wrangled LLMs into structured data pipelines
- You’ve built metrics dashboards and cared about latency
Culture fit = you
- Builder mentality > ticket follower
- Nerdy curiosity with practical rigor
- Laughs at complexity but still fixes it
- Thrives when thrown at unsolved, high-entropy systems
