About Circadia Health
Circadia Health is a growth-stage healthcare AI company on a mission to prevent avoidable hospitalizations and transform senior-care operations. Our Circadia Intelligence Platform combines:
Contactless sensing that monitors respiration and motion with medical-grade accuracy
Native predictive models that detect 85% of preventable adverse events several days in advance
Enterprise integrations that operationalize predictions directly inside EHR, care-coordination, billing, and compliance workflows
Today, our technology touches 40,000+ post-acute patients daily across skilled-nursing, home-health, and home-care networks. We are backed by leading healthcare and AI investors and headquartered in El Segundo, CA.
The Role
As a Full-Stack Software Engineer, you will play a critical role in designing, developing, and maintaining both backend APIs and frontend applications that support sensitive healthcare platforms. You will be proficient in Python for backend development and have experience with modern frontend frameworks such as ReactJS, Vue.js, or Angular. Your expertise in Test-Driven Development (TDD), security best practices, and comprehensive documentation will ensure the reliability, scalability, and security of our mission-critical software. Your work will directly impact patient care and enhance the efficiency of clinical staff by contributing to a platform that serves 30k+ patients daily through our Circadia Contactless Monitor (IoT devices)—a number expected to scale beyond 100k+ in the next 2 to 3 years.
What You'll Do
- Build, develop, and maintain responsive, interactive user interfaces using modern JavaScript frameworks (React, Vue.js, Angular).
- Implement state management and develop reusable UI components for seamless integration with backend services.
- Optimize frontend performance using techniques like lazy loading, code splitting, and caching.
- Ensure cross-browser compatibility and adherence to WCAG guidelines for accessibility.
- Design, develop, and maintain RESTful APIs using Python (FastAPI) to support healthcare applications.
- Collaborate with frontend and mobile developers to integrate APIs effectively.
- Ensure APIs are secure, scalable, and performant to handle increasing loads.
- Build scalable applications using AWS services (Cognito, Pinpoint, IoT, MSK).
- Expand and manage services under AWS modules while implementing robust authentication protocols.
- Navigate Docker deployments to scale containerized applications efficiently.
- Write unit tests and integration tests using PyTest to ensure code quality and reliability.
- Conduct code reviews and implement best practices for high coding standards.
- Manage patient data efficiently using databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB).
- Optimize database queries for performance and scalability while ensuring data integrity.
- Implement and maintain security measures to protect sensitive healthcare data.
- Ensure compliance with healthcare regulations, including HIPAA.
- Regularly update and patch API endpoints to address vulnerabilities.
- Documentation and Collaboration:
- Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for APIs, workflows, and best practices.
- Maintain detailed change logs, version histories, and onboarding guides.
