This role is designed for a veteran backend specialist with at least seven years of experience who has moved into technical leadership and architecture. You should have a deep background in scaling data-intensive distributed systems using Python and FastAPI, ideally within a high-growth startup environment. **What makes it worth a look...** Ro offers the stability of a highly recognized telehealth leader alongside meaningful perks like a 401(k) match, fertility benefits, and student loan refinancing. It is a rare chance to architect systems that navigate complex regulatory landscapes while having a direct impact on national healthcare access from their New York hub. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have mastery over Python, relational databases, and frameworks like FastAPI or Django. * Have successfully decoupled monolithic applications into asynchronous microservices. * Proactively use tools like Datadog and load testing infrastructure to tune system performance. * Enjoy mentoring senior engineers and defining technical roadmaps for ambiguous product spaces.
