Backend Engineer (Go, AWS, MySQL)

Note: not Nordic prices - we are looking for remote Eastern European prices.

We are looking for an experienced Backend Engineer to design, build, and maintain scalable backend services and APIs. You will play a key role in developing reliable, high-performance systems that power our platform and support real-world production workloads.

This company is redefining how advanced medical imaging is taught and delivered across the world. By building a highly realistic MRI simulation platform entirely in software, they are removing one of the biggest barriers in healthcare education: access to expensive physical equipment.

Their technology recreates the full MRI scanning process with remarkable precision — from physics-based signal generation to image reconstruction — allowing students and clinicians to train in a safe, repeatable, and fully interactive environment. What once required access to costly hospital-grade machines can now be practiced anywhere, on standard hardware.

The impact is profound. By democratizing MRI training, they are helping build a more skilled global workforce, accelerating learning curves, reducing training costs, and ultimately improving patient outcomes. Their work doesn’t just innovate — it expands access to critical healthcare capabilities worldwide.

This is technology with purpose: deep engineering solving real-world healthcare challenges at scale.

This role requires strong backend fundamentals, cloud experience, and the ability to collaborate effectively within a cross-functional team.
