Backend Engineer, AI Noa Notes (100% remote-friendly within Poland)

Team Vision and Mission

The Noa Notes Team is building AI tools that turn doctor-patient conversations into structured clinical notes. Our mission is to make clinical note-taking so seamless and reliable that it becomes invisible: doctors speak naturally, and Noa handles the rest.

With 12,000+ paying users and over 1.5 million consultation minutes processed, we've proven the value. Now we're scaling: improving summary quality, expanding across devices and platforms, and building a product-led engine.

Why Our Team?

We have real traction and proof that what we're building matters. With a team of just nine, we're small enough that your work will directly shape the product's trajectory.

You'll tackle hard problems at the intersection of AI, distributed systems, and healthcare workflows with real-time audio processing, multi-cloud integrations, and making machine-generated summaries trustworthy enough for clinical use. 

You'll own features from ideas through impact measurement. We ship small increments to production early and often, optimizing for learning over big-bang releases. You'll propose trade-offs, make day-to-day calls, and see the results in real user data within weeks.

Fair warning: you'll wear multiple hats and context-switch often.
That's a feature for some, a bug for others.

About the Role

We're looking for a Backend Engineer with 4+ years of experience to join the Noa Notes team. We care less about your current tech stack and more about your fundamentals: distributed systems, scalability, clean architecture, and the ability to ship iteratively while learning fast.

Key Responsibilities

• Own features end-to-end: from shaping and refinement through build, release, and impact review.
• Design and develop backend systems with a focus on scalability, reliability, and observability.
• Work on real-time audio processing pipelines and AI/ML integrations that turn conversation into structured clinical documentation.
• Build and optimize integrations with Docplanner products, third-party healthcare systems, and cloud services across AWS and Azure.
• Solve distributed systems challenges: async workflows, message queues, multi-cloud orchestration, and graceful failure handling.
• Expand Noa's reach across devices, platforms, and workflows wherever doctors actually work.
• Collaborate closely with Product, Design, and Data to ship small increments and validate learning quickly.
• Contribute to a strong engineering culture through code reviews, testing, and lightweight documentation.
• Surface trade-offs, propose solutions, and drive day-to-day technical decisions.

You're a Great Fit If You Are:

• A backend engineer with 4+ years of experience building systems that scale.
• Comfortable working across the stack. You care about solving problems, not defending a language.
• Curious about end-users and how your work impacts their experience.
• Energized by ownership: you'd rather drive a feature than wait for detailed specs.
• A clear communicator who collaborates well with Product, Design, and Data.
• Someone who ships iteratively, learns from production, and adjusts course quickly.

What Will Help You Thrive

• Solid experience designing distributed systems and async workflows.
• Strong database fundamentals both relational and NoSQL.
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or similar).
• Familiarity with containerization, observability, and CI/CD practices.
• A testing mindset, you see tests as enablers, not chores.
• Proficiency in English (B2+) for effective collaboration.

Nice-to-Have

• Experience with AI/ML integrations (e.g., Speech-to-Text, LLMs).
• Exposure to Kubernetes or container orchestration.
• Background in healthcare or regulated industries.
• Ability to read and work with Python codebases.

Let’s talk money

• Share options plan after 6 months of working with us.

True flexibility and work-life balance

• Remote or hybrid work model with or hub in Warsaw;
• Flexible working hours (fully flexible, as in most cases you only have to be on a couple of meetings weekly);
• 20/26 days of paid time off (depending on your contract);
• Additional paid day off on your birthday or work anniversary (you choose what you want to celebrate).

Health comes first 

• Private healthcare plan with Signal Iduna for you and subsidized for your family. 
• Multisport card co-financing for you to have access to sports facilities across Poland. 
• Access to iFeel, a technological platform for mental wellness offering online psychological support and counseling. 

We promote and embrace equal opportunities in our hiring process, and also every day at work. When you apply for our roles you receive equal treatment regardless of age, disabilities, gender reassignment, marital or civil partner status, pregnancy or parental status, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation or any other dimension of human difference.  If you require additional support in your recruitment process, we kindly encourage you to let us know. Behind those words you’re reading, there’s a person (hi!) who already helped a candidate by adapting the interviews, and now we’re lucky to have this person with us. So, even if you’ve never asked for it before, may this serve as a sign that, now, you can do so. We can only truly be equal if we adapt to each other.
