# Senior Backend / Full-Stack Software Engineer

> LVIS · Palo Alto, United States · Full-time · Posted 2026-05-11

**Workplace:** on_site

**Department:** Backend

## Description

**About the Company**

LVIS Corporation is on a mission to transform neurological care through AI-driven software. Our platform helps physicians process large-scale EEG and neurological data more efficiently, improving diagnostic speed and patient outcomes. We are a global team with headquarters in Palo Alto, California, and an office in Seoul (Gangnam), working at the intersection of healthcare, AI, and scalable cloud systems.

**About the Role**

We are looking for a high-impact engineer to join a small, fast-moving special projects team focused on solving critical product and infrastructure challenges. This is not a typical backend role. You will work across backend systems, data pipelines, and product features to rapidly deliver high-value functionality used in real clinical environments. We are looking for someone who moves fast, takes ownership, and uses AI effectively, while maintaining strong engineering fundamentals and code quality.

**Responsibilities**

-   Build and ship backend and full-stack features end-to-end with high ownership
-   Use Python for data processing and lightweight service development (e.g., uploader tools, pipelines)
-   Design and improve data pipelines for large-scale medical data (EEG, signals, etc.)
-   Develop and maintain APIs, services, and systems for data ingestion, processing, and storage
-   Work with distributed cloud infrastructure across multiple regions (AWS-based)
-   Rapidly prototype and iterate using AI tools while maintaining clean, scalable architecture
-   Identify bottlenecks and aggressively improve performance, reliability, and developer velocity
-   Collaborate closely with product, ML, and leadership to prioritize and execute quickly

**Qualifications**

-   Strong Python skills for building backend services, data processing pipelines, and internal tools (e.g., uploaders, integrations)
-   6+ years of experience building real-world backend systems (flexible for exceptional candidates)
-   Strong fundamentals in system design, data structures, and backend architecture
-   Ability to move quickly and independently with high ownership
-   Experience using AI tools (e.g., coding assistants) to accelerate development
-   Good judgment in balancing speed vs. long-term maintainability (avoiding tech debt)
-   Comfortable working across backend and frontend when needed

**Who This Role Is For**

This role is a good fit if you:

-   Enjoy solving hard problems quickly
-   Take ownership rather than waiting for direction
-   Care about building things properly, not just making them work
-   Want to have direct impact on product and users

This role may not be a good fit if you:

-   Prefer highly structured, slow-moving environments
-   Avoid ambiguity or ownership
-   Focus strictly on one layer (backend only, frontend only, etc.)

## Requirements

**Required Skills**

-   Backend: Java (Spring Boot), Python
-   Infrastructure: AWS (S3, EKS, etc.)
-   Databases: SQL / NoSQL
-   Frontend: Vue.js

**Preferred Skills**

-   Experience with large-scale data processing or distributed systems
-   Experience with asynchronous systems (Kafka, job queues, etc.)
-   Experience in healthcare, medical data, or regulated environments
-   Interest in AI/ML systems or working alongside ML teams

## Benefits

-   Benefits: Comprehensive Health, Dental, and Vision coverage.
-   Environment: A collaborative, friendly workspace with a focus on ownership and professional growth.
