The Opportunity

Come work at Akido if you want to help build the future of medicine. In 2024, Akido achieved a historic milestone — conducting the first doctor visit run entirely by AI. We’re building tools that force multiply our doctors and unlock infinite access for our patients.

What makes Akido different is that we own and operate our own health system. That means the doctors using our software are our colleagues, not our customers’ employees. This deep integration between technology and clinical operations allows us to innovate faster than anyone else in healthcare, creating a feedback loop where ideas move from concept to clinical impact in record time.

What you will do: 

• Build and maintain RESTful and GraphQL APIs that serve as the backbone for front-end applications, including Akido Chart (our EMR) and Scope AI (our groundbreaking AI doctor).
• Design scalable and secure backend services that integrate with clinical data systems, AI inference pipelines, and patient-facing interfaces.
• Collaborate closely with product and design teams to translate user needs into elegant, maintainable, and high-performance software solutions.
• Lead architecture discussions and make key decisions around system design, data modeling, and service reliability.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of code quality, documentation, and continuous improvement.
• Own projects end-to-end, from ideation to deployment and ongoing monitoring in production.

What you bring: 

• 7+ years of experience in software engineering, ideally with exposure to healthcare or complex data systems.
• Deep experience building APIs and distributed systems using modern JS frameworks (e.g., Node.js).
• Experience with front-end integration (React, Next.js, or similar) and cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP).
