Who We Need
Truveta is building a diverse and inclusive team to tackle complex health and technical challenges. We are seeking enthusiastic new graduates who are problem-solvers, collaborative teammates, and eager to make a difference in healthcare. If you’re excited about purposeful work, joining a mission-driven team, and launching your career in a supportive environment, Truveta could be the perfect place to start.
This Opportunity
We are seeking engineers who:
Design and build production-grade backend services: Experienced in service architecture, API design, async-first Python development, testing, packaging, debugging, and operating backend systems in production.
- Contribute to backend features and services end to end: Capable of taking well-scoped services and features from design through implementation, deployment, monitoring, and ongoing maintenance.
- Engineer for scale, resilience, and maintainability: Grounded in modular architecture, separation of concerns, code quality, observability, performance, and pragmatic design trade-offs.
- Bring strong Python backend craftsmanship: Experienced with async programming, modern Python service patterns, well-tested code, and tools such as uv, ruff, and ty to deliver reliable, maintainable systems.
- Support AI-enabled workflows through strong backend foundations: Experienced integrating, or contributing to integrations with, LLM APIs such as OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, or equivalent into backend services, with attention to reliability, security, latency, error handling, and maintainability.
- Understand modern AI service integration patterns: Practical exposure to agentic AI frameworks or interoperability protocols such as LangGraph, LangChain, MCP, or A2A, and an understanding of how these patterns support tool orchestration, service integration, and AI workflow design.
- Improve deployment and operational reliability: Able to contribute to CI/CD configuration, deployment stage setup, pipeline hardening, environment debugging, rollback strategy, and production readiness.
- Build reliable cloud-native systems: Hands-on with Docker, devcontainers, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code patterns, AKS, Terraform/Terragrunt, and deployment automation.
- Build secure services by default: Experienced with dependency health, Snyk/CVE triage, library upgrades, token hygiene, OWASP-aligned practices, secrets handling, and security patching within SLA.
- Manage artifacts and dependencies responsibly: Experienced with or exposed to artifact registry workflows such as JFrog, Docker/PyPI proxying, GPU artifact mirroring, package provenance, or similar dependency management practices.
- Collaborate across boundaries: Partner effectively with platform, ML, application, data, and product engineers to transform concepts into scalable, reliable backend solutions.
- Demonstrate strong engineering ownership: Own meaningful features or service components, contribute to technical design, raise code quality, support peers, and make pragmatic trade-offs that balance speed, quality, security, and reliability.
- Act with purpose: Apply thoughtful engineering and security-first principles to create backend systems that advance healthcare intelligence responsibly and at scale.
Key Qualifications
- You have 3+ years of software engineering experience, with hands-on experience building backend services, production systems, or platform infrastructure.
- You have contributed to the design, development, deployment, debugging, and operation of backend services in production, and you understand what it takes to keep services reliable after launch.
- You bring strong Python backend engineering experience, including async programming, testing, packaging, API design, and maintainable service architecture.
- You are comfortable using modern Python tooling such as uv, ruff, and ty to build clean, reliable, and maintainable services.
- You think beyond implementation and care about production operations, including observability, reliability, incident-aware development, debugging distributed systems, and deployment troubleshooting.
- You build secure services by default, with experience in secure service design, secrets handling, token hygiene, dependency scanning, CVE triage, OWASP-aligned practices, and security patching within SLA.
- You have built or contributed to backend service integrations with LLM APIs such as OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, or equivalent, with attention to reliability, security, latency, error handling, and maintainability.
- You have practical exposure to agentic AI frameworks or interoperability protocols such as LangGraph, LangChain, MCP, or A2A, and understand how these patterns support tool orchestration, service integration, and AI workflow design.
- You have hands-on experience with cloud-native platform foundations such as Kubernetes, containers, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform; AKS and Azure Pipelines experience is preferred.
- You understand the importance of responsible artifact and dependency management, with exposure to systems such as JFrog, Docker/PyPI proxying, GPU artifact mirroring, or similar workflows.
- You have a B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
