Job description

At Commure, we're building the AI Operating System for healthcare, the foundation that defines how care is delivered, documented, and financed. Our platform spans the full care journey: Ambient AI and Dictation eliminating documentation burden at the point of care, intelligent Agents automating patient and revenue workflows, and autonomous RCM processing billions in claims, all on a single AI-native platform integrated with 60+ EHRs.

Healthcare carries a $1 trillion administrative burden and we're at the center of transforming it. Today, 500,000+ clinicians across 500+ healthcare organizations nationwide trust Commure to handle $25B+ in annual claims and support over 200 million patient interactions. Our latest $70M raise at a $7B valuation reflects the confidence the market has placed in this mission. We've also been named to the Fortune Future 50 list and the 2026 AI Breakthrough Awards for “Overall NLP Company of the Year.”

Our team works directly alongside clinicians, not through layers of process, which means the gap between what you build and its impact on patient care is immediate. We move fast, deploy daily, and take full ownership from early thinking to production. If you're energized by hard problems, high stakes, and a team that holds itself to a high bar, you'll find your people here.

The future of healthcare is being built right now. Come deliver this transformation.

About the Role

At Commure, our engineering team is at the forefront of revolutionizing healthcare technology by building and scaling the systems powering our suite of healthcare products. We are looking for a talented Staff Backend Engineer to help us craft user-friendly, responsive, and secure interfaces that operate reliably at scale and enhance the healthcare experience for both providers and patients. If you are a builder and love working on important, exciting problems in healthcare and love shipping quickly, come join us!

  • Mentor engineers through design reviews, technical guidance, and engineering best practices.

  • Improve system reliability, observability, performance, and developer productivity.

  • Partner closely with Product, Infrastructure, and Clinical teams to deliver impactful technical solutions.

  • Build and operate services using Python, Go, FastAPI, Flask, Kubernetes, and cloud-native technologies.

What You Have
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

  • 8+ years of backend software engineering experience building large-scale distributed systems.

  • Deep expertise in Python and/or Go and modern backend architectures.

  • Experience leading technical initiatives and influencing engineering direction across teams.

  • Strong knowledge of cloud infrastructure, Docker, Kubernetes, APIs, and microservices.

  • Proven track record delivering scalable, reliable systems and making sound architectural decisions.

  • Excellent communication, mentorship, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
