AI Healthcare Startup Backend Fullstack AWS K8s React Rust Founding Engineer Seed Stage VC Backed Boston Onsite Zero to One High Ownership Insurance Patient Advocacy AI Engineer Full Stack Engineer Back End Engineer 
Company Description:
We're a seed stage AI x Healthcare startup backed by several top tier VCs, located Boston, MA (Onsite role). Our mission is to ensure patients get the coverage they deserve from their health insurance. We accomplish this by building deep, vertically integrated technology systems to tackle fundamental problems within the massive $5T US healthcare market. Our founding team brings experience from YC, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Harvard Business School, including previous successful exits. We have significant traction with a customer waitlist exceeding 6 months and continuing to grow.

Role Description: Founding Engineer (Backend-Leaning Fullstack)
This is a unique opportunity to be the first engineer joining our team outside of the founders. You will play a critical role in shaping our product and technology from the ground up. We are seeking a backend-leaning fullstack developer excited by the prospect of working in an insanely fast-paced, high-ownership environment dedicated to solving real, impactful problems in healthcare.

Responsibilities:
*   Engage directly with customers to deeply understand their needs and challenges.
*   Design, architect, and build core product features and infrastructure from zero to one.
*   Develop robust, scalable backend systems while contributing across the full stack as needed.
*   Take significant ownership of entire parts of the product roadmap and technology stack.
*   Embrace wearing multiple hats and contributing flexibly in a dynamic early-stage environment.

Technical Skills & Environment:
*   Our current stack utilizes AWS, Kubernetes (K8s), React, and Rust.
*   Crucially, prior experience with these specific technologies is *not* a prerequisite. We strongly believe in learning and growth, and we will provide the support needed to get you up to speed (We'll teach you!).
*   Strong fundamentals in backend development are preferred. Experience or interest in fullstack development is beneficial.

Ideal Candidate Profile:
*   You possess exceptional resilience, a powerful work ethic, and boundless curiosity.
*   You thrive in ambiguous situations and excel in fast-moving settings.
*   You are passionate about building products from the very beginning and driving significant impact.
*   We value your growth potential and learning velocity ("slope") more than your current specific skillset. If you're eager to learn and build, we want to hear from you.

This role offers a chance to make a foundational impact at a well-funded startup with strong market validation, tackling major challenges in the healthcare industry.
