Description

About Dyania Health

Dyania Health is a venture-backed company founded in 2019 which has developed Synapsis AI, an end-to-end system that combines a medically pre-adapted LLM with a physician-driven algorithmic reasoning engine to understand and assess clinical characteristics in electronic medical records. Synapsis AI is designed for installation within the healthcare system's computing environment or on healthcare system private clouds to automate the process of manual chart review of EMRs, without removing any data from the healthcare system. Synapsis AI completes pre-screening on both unstructured and structured patient data, and deploys medical logic with temporal sensitivity to match dynamically changing patient characteristics with complex clinical trial criteria during the exact window of time that a given EMR may qualify for study protocol criteria.

We are looking for a Backend Software Engineer to join our growing team in Athens, Greece. This role will focus on building and maintaining the backend systems that drive our data processing solutions. The ideal candidate will have experience working with REST APIs, handling large data sets, and integrating all of this data through ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes to present Synapsis AI with data to use in accelerating patient chart review.

Individuals will be required to be in the office at least 3 days per week

Key Responsibilities:

• Participate in the design, development, and maintenance of robust back-end components of Synapsis AI, ensuring scalability and high-performance capabilities.
• Architect and optimize database structures, ensuring efficient storage and retrieval of healthcare data in compliance with industry standards.
• Implement data storage and retrieval mechanisms for both unstructured and structured patient data.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including AI researchers, clinicians, and frontend developers to deliver scalable and user friendly solutions.
• Troubleshoot, debug, and improve the performance of existing systems.
• Contribute to the enhancement of the algorithmic reasoning engine, collaborating with the Clinical and AI Research teams.
• Document processes and system designs to ensure clarity and ease of maintenance.

Requirements

Required Qualifications:

• Proven experience as a backend software engineer, with strong expertise in building, managing, and using RESTful APIs.

• Familiarity with databases (SQL, NoSQL) and cloud services (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure).
• Experience with containerization (Docker), microservices, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

Team Culture:

• We lead with empathy for patients and our teammates
• We value small egos, self-awareness, and humility in our teammates
