We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to lead the next evolution of VuMedi’s product architecture and technical direction. This is a hands-on, high-impact role - shaping how millions of doctors discover, learn, and collaborate through intelligent, scalable systems.
- You’ll be both architect and builder , working directly with the CTO and engineering leaders across our US and Croatia teams to bring ambitious ideas from prototype to production.
- In this role, you will:
- Architect the future of VuMedi’s platform — from scalable video systems to AI-powered content discovery and personalized learning experiences.
- Prototype and build AI workflows and agents powered by LLMs (Large Language Models) to transform how doctors interact with knowledge, surface insights, and discover content.
- Work closely with Product, Data, and AI teams to build, deploy, and monitor intelligent services (classification, search relevance, personalization, summarization).
- Define architectural standards across backend, frontend, and infrastructure layers — ensuring reliability, maintainability, and scalability.
- Partner with engineering leadership to drive system migrations and modernization (Python/Django backend, React frontend, AWS infrastructure).
- Mentor engineers across pods and raise the technical bar through design reviews, prototypes, and shared best practices.
- Lead technical exploration of new tools - from vector databases and RAG frameworks to real-time video personalization - to keep VuMedi on the edge of applied AI.
- This role is ideal for someone who loves to zoom out on system architecture and zoom in on code - someone who can imagine what VuMedi’s platform looks like in five years, then open their editor and start building it.
- Who you are:
- 6+ years of experience building and scaling software systems, ideally in consumer, data, or AI products.
- Proven success as a Principal Engineer, Staff Engineer, or Architect leading major system designs end-to-end.
- Strong proficiency in Python (required); deep familiarity with Django or other modern Python web frameworks.
- Frontend experience with React and modern JavaScript/TypeScript stacks.
- Expertise in designing distributed systems and cloud architectures on AWS (EC2, Lambda, S3, CloudFront, ECS, RDS, etc.).
- Experience with LLMs, AI agents, or AI-enabled workflows — building, integrating, or orchestrating intelligent systems.
- Strong understanding of data modeling, API design, caching, and asynchronous event-driven systems.
- Passion for hands-on prototyping and bridging product ideas with technical feasibility.
- Clear communicator who thrives in cross-functional settings and mentors others through influence, not authority.
- Why Work at Vumedi:
- Build technology that matters : Your work directly impacts how doctors learn and make decisions that save lives.
- Lead with impact : Partner directly with the CTO to shape technical strategy, architecture, and innovation roadmap.
- Build with AI : Work on applied LLM systems — from intelligent search to AI-driven content agents.
- Own your craft : End-to-end responsibility for building systems that scale globally and power mission-critical workflows.
- Collaborate globally : Join a world-class team of engineers, data scientists, and product leaders across the US and Europe.
- This is a hybrid role, working 3 days a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) in our Oakland office.
