About the Role

As a Software Engineer at Translucent, you'll build the foundational systems that power our AI financial analyst. You'll work across our technology stack—from data ingestion and processing pipelines to the APIs and services that deliver complex financial insights in simple, actionable formats. You'll collaborate closely with our AI Engineers, Forward Deployed Engineers, and domain experts to create robust, scalable systems that healthcare operators can trust with their most critical business decisions.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build scalable backend systems and APIs that support our AI-driven financial analysis platform
  • Develop data processing pipelines that handle complex healthcare financial data from multiple sources
  • Build services and integrations that make sophisticated financial insights accessible to healthcare operators
  • Collaborate with AI Engineers to integrate LLM workflows and ensure reliable performance at scale
  • Work with Forward Deployed Engineers to implement customer-specific business logic and integrations
  • Own system reliability, performance monitoring, and optimization across the platform
  • Participate in architectural decisions as we scale to serve enterprise healthcare customers

What You Bring

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals and problem-solving skills
  • Proficiency in modern programming languages (Python, Go, Java, or similar)
  • Experience with APIs, databases, and cloud infrastructure
  • Understanding of software design patterns, testing, and deployment best practices
  • Customer-first mindset: Driven to understand healthcare operators' pain points and build solutions that truly solve their problems
  • Startup mentality: Ready to sprint when priorities shift, jump into unfamiliar areas when the team needs it, and wear multiple hats
  • Owner mentality: Take end-to-end ownership of features and systems, driving them from conception to customer impact
  • Strong judgment on trade-offs: Balance shipping quickly to learn from customers against investing in longer-term technical foundations
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across technical and non-technical teams
  • Interest in healthcare and complex enterprise systems

Experience Level

We typically look for candidates with 3+ years of professional software development experience, but we're most interested in engineers who can make meaningful contributions from day one. We welcome applications from exceptional early-career developers who demonstrate strong technical skills, a proven track record of building impressive projects, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced startup environment.

Bonus Points

  • Experience with distributed systems and high-scale data processing
  • Familiarity with AI/ML systems and working alongside data science teams
  • Experience with financial systems or healthcare technology
  • Previous startup or fast-growth company experience
  • Track record of driving customer impact through technical decisions

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
