Requirements

You have operated high-stakes systems.

You have 5-7+ years of backend engineering experience. You've built and operated production systems that handle real complexity—not just high traffic, but complex domain logic, distributed stateful workflows, and deep integrations with external partners.

You get data modeling right.

You think carefully about schema design, state transitions, and domain boundaries, because you've seen what happens downstream when the foundational model is wrong.

You are an infrastructure owner.

You are comfortable with (or eager to master) Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS, and CI/CD, and you view deploying your own code and owning your system's reliability as a fundamental part of backend engineering.

Responsibilities

At Mochi, our engineering team operates with exceptional leverage. We believe in high talent density, where a focused, elite team powers a profitable, nine-figure ARR healthcare platform serving hundreds of thousands of patients. We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to own the core systems that power this scale—from clinical approval workflows and multi-pharmacy fulfillment routing, to complex subscription billing and partner integrations.

Mochi has already helped patients lose over 5 million pounds through metabolic care, and we are now rapidly expanding into the frontiers of preventative healthcare—including hormone optimization (HRT/TRT), longevity medicine, and cutting-edge peptide therapies. The backend systems you architect will power how this next wave of patients discovers treatments, qualifies for care, and receives highly personalized, dynamic dosing protocols.

Because of our high scale-to-team ratio, we do not operate in isolated technical silos. You will own your systems end-to-end: designing the schema, writing the business logic, deploying to Kubernetes, and owning the observability in production. If you are drawn to architectural problems where the domain complexity is real, the autonomy is absolute, and the impact on patient outcomes is tangible, this is the role.

Architect Healthcare Commerce:

Build and evolve a subscription and billing infrastructure that handles the messy reality of healthcare. You will solve for mid-cycle medication switches, dynamic pricing across different pharmacy partners, payment recovery, and prorated billing.
