About this role
Why You’ll Love the Job: You’ll build the backend systems that power affordable, subscription-based healthcare for thousands of patients. You’ll own real services end-to-end — from design to production — and see your work directly shape how people access care. You’ll work closely with Product, Architecture, and Frontend in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment where your technical decisions carry weight and your ideas matter.
Role Overview: We’re looking for a Software Engineer II who owns the development of well-scoped backend services and features that power Subscribili’s platform. You work independently on assigned problems, write production-grade Go, and partner with Product and senior engineers to turn requirements into reliable, well-tested systems.
Reports To: Engineering Manager
Requirements
Key Responsibilities:
This role is organized around five core areas. Each describes what we expect you to own and deliver.
Design and build complex, high-volume backend systems and APIs in Golang.
Decompose large, ambiguous problems into deliverable milestones for yourself and others.
Drive integrations across services, third parties, and data stores at a system level.
Define and enforce testing, code-quality, and review standards for the team.
Set the example for maintainable, well-documented, production-grade code.
Improve tooling and processes that raise overall code quality.
Own architecture for major systems; make and document high-impact design decisions and trade-offs.
Define backend engineering standards and patterns others build on.
Evaluate new technologies and lead technical strategy for your area.
Partner with Product and leadership to shape roadmaps and technical priorities.
Mentor and level up SDE-1/SDE-2 engineers; grow the team’s capability.
Drive alignment across teams on technical direction.
Own the reliability, scalability, and performance of systems handling high-volume transactions.
Lead incident response and drive post-incident improvements; champion observability.
Build security and data integrity into system design from the start; set practices for responsible data handling, including HIPAA/PHI.
Core Technical Skills:
The capabilities we expect you to bring to the role, grouped by area.
Deep proficiency in Golang and its ecosystem.
Expert command of concurrency, goroutines, and channels.
Working knowledge of Python is a big plus.
Sets the bar for AI-assisted development on the pod — defines how and when AI tooling is used and what validation looks like before code ships.
Mentors others to treat AI output as a starting point, not an answer, and owns the quality and maintainability of AI-assisted work across the pod.
Proven experience with RESTful APIs and gRPC.
Strong experience designing microservices and distributed systems at scale.
Core: relational databases — PostgreSQL and/or MySQL, including data modeling for scale.
Nice to have: experience with DynamoDB (NoSQL) and/or Redis (caching) — a plus, not a requirement.
Deep experience operating production systems in the cloud (we run on AWS), with strong command of Docker, CI/CD, and Git.
Our backend runs on AWS Elastic Beanstalk and Lambda; specific experience with these isn’t required — a solid foundation in Docker and container orchestration transfers directly.
As our platform scales, we’re investing in container orchestration (ECS/EKS, Kubernetes); experience leading that kind of evolution is a strong plus.
Experience in healthcare, fintech, or analytics-driven platforms.
Familiarity with event tracking, system monitoring, and payment workflows.
Understanding of compliance, data privacy, or healthcare regulations (e.g., HIPAA/PHI).
Benefits
Competitive Salary: Attractive package based on your experience, skills, and impact.
Equity Options: Share in Subscribili’s growth and long term success.
Health and Wellness: Comprehensive health coverage for you and your family, including medical benefits, term insurance, and complimentary annual health checkups.
Office Meals: 2 meals per day provided in office to support convenience, collaboration, and team connection.
Onsite Role with Flexible Hours: This is a full time onsite role based in HSR Layout, Bangalore.
Generous Leave: Paid vacation, sick leave, and parental leave.
Learning and Growth: Access to courses, workshops, and leadership development opportunities.
Career Development: Opportunity to build and lead the People function as Subscribili scales.
Mission Driven Culture: Join a team that cares deeply about employees, patients, providers, and the future of affordable healthcare.
