Advanced/Senior Software Engineer (Backend) - Healthcare Integration & Platform

What you'll do

As we continue to grow, we are looking for an Advanced/Senior Software Engineer (Backend) at Snke to help shape the next generation of our platform and the way we integrate with clinical systems.

You would design, build, and operate the services behind our mobile product, the APIs our clients consume, the data flows that connect us to hospital systems, and the platform work that keeps all of it dependable in production. Your work will directly support healthcare professionals in their daily practice and contribute to products used during patient care.

There is substantial architectural work ahead. We are evolving how our product integrates with hospital systems, and this role contributes directly to shaping that, not just implementing it. You will work across client-facing APIs, healthcare integrations, imaging workflows, and both cloud and on-premise deployments, within a team where your engineering judgement has a genuine impact.
