Staff Backend Engineer
Role Overview
This is a senior-level Staff Backend Engineer role where you will lead technical planning and execution for new features, design and refine systems for code quality and deployment, and collaborate across teams to translate requirements into solutions. You'll work across the technology stack, including Python, Go, FastAPI, and Flask, in a fast-paced team that ships daily, focusing on building scalable, secure systems to enhance healthcare experiences for providers and patients.
Perks & Benefits
The role is fully remote with a fast-paced, ambitious culture that values quick decision-making and daily deployments, offering opportunities for career growth in a high-impact field. While not explicitly stated, typical remote tech perks like flexible hours and a collaborative environment can be assumed, with an emphasis on working with a diverse team and solving customer issues directly.
Full Job Description
At Commure, we're building the AI Operating System for healthcare, the foundation that defines how care is delivered, documented, and financed. Our platform spans the full care journey: Ambient AI and Dictation eliminating documentation burden at the point of care, intelligent Agents automating patient and revenue workflows, and autonomous RCM processing billions in claims, all on a single AI-native platform integrated with 60+ EHRs.
Healthcare carries a $1 trillion administrative burden and we're at the center of transforming it. Today, 500,000+ clinicians across 500+ healthcare organizations nationwide trust Commure to handle $25B+ in annual claims and support over 200 million patient interactions. Our latest $70M raise at a $7B valuation reflects the confidence the market has placed in this mission. We've also been named to the Fortune Future 50 list and the 2026 AI Breakthrough Awards for “Overall NLP Company of the Year.”
Our team works directly alongside clinicians, not through layers of process, which means the gap between what you build and its impact on patient care is immediate. We move fast, deploy daily, and take full ownership from early thinking to production. If you're energized by hard problems, high stakes, and a team that holds itself to a high bar, you'll find your people here.
The future of healthcare is being built right now. Come deliver this transformation.
