Backend Engineer for Healthcare Services

Norbert is building autonomous robots that deliver healthcare.
Our AI sensing platform mounts on mobile robots and does the work of a care team member—rounding on patients, capturing vitals without contact (FDA-cleared for pulse and respiratory rate, more in the pipeline), running assessments, documenting to the EMR, and escalating when something's wrong. We're not building demos. We're deployed in real facilities today, monitoring hundreds of patients daily. We're solving one of healthcare's hardest problems: a global nursing shortage that will hit 40% by 2030.
We're a small, international team backed by top-tier VCs, with offices in Brooklyn and Paris. We ship things that matter.

We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to own and evolve the backbone of our system.
Our backend connects robots, embedded devices, Android applications, EMR systems, and a user portal. You'll consolidate multiple APIs into a clean, domain-driven design while shipping features and building the foundation to scale orders of magnitude. You'll own the backend end-to-end: architecture, code, compliance documentation, cybersecurity, and privacy. If you believe that less is more and that building with quality is faster, not slower, you'll fit right in.
You'll work directly with the VP of Engineering and collaborate with a small team of highly competent engineers across AI, firmware, Android, product and operations. Own and evolve our AWS cloud infrastructure for IoT devices and robotic platforms
