The Role

TTI is looking for a Junior Backend Engineer to join our platform team. This team member will play a critical role in designing and building the APIs and services that power the Wave Health platform.

As part of a team providing core system functionality that other engineers build upon, we are looking for someone who can not only tackle tough technical problems but also collaborate and evangelize best practices across teams. We value engineers who bring fresh ideas and are willing to own problems through to a solution. You should be comfortable working in a fast-paced startup culture and have experience architecting complex, production-grade healthcare systems.

1-4+ years of relevant backend engineering experience
Proficiency in PHP and the Laravel framework
Experience with MySQL, including query optimization, indexing strategies, and database architecture
Experience designing and building RESTful APIs at scale
Experience in architecting complex systems with high security, reliability, and scalability requirements
Familiarity with healthcare data privacy requirements (e.g., HIPAA compliance)
Experience contributing to architecture decisions in production environments, handling sensitive data

Nice to Have

Experience with AWS services (EC2, EKS, RDS, S3, CloudFormation, etc.)
Knowledge of HL7 FHIR standards and healthcare interoperability protocols
Experience integrating with Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems
Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices
Ability to mentor and support other engineers through code reviews and technical guidance
Experience with microservices architecture patterns
Exposure to mobile API development for iOS and Android platforms

What You Will Do

Design, build, and maintain backend services and APIs that power the Wave Health platform
Architect scalable solutions for chronic condition management and patient data workflows
Collaborate with mobile (iOS and Android) teams to define and optimize API contracts
Help drive technical decisions on system design, data modeling, and service architecture
Ensure platform security and compliance with healthcare regulations (HIPAA, GDPR)
Improve system reliability, performance, and observability across the platform
Participate in code reviews and contribute to engineering best practices and standards

Why Wave Health

Mission-driven work improving the lives of cancer and chronic illness patients
Small, collaborative engineering team where your contributions have an outsized impact
Opportunity to shape the technical direction of a growing healthcare platform
Work with modern tooling and cloud-native infrastructure
Fast-paced startup environment with room for growth and leadership
