About Us

We're a fast-growing startup building AI-powered automation and logistics systems for hospitals. Our engineering team is hiring a Backend Tech Lead with deep experience in Node.js, AWS Lambda, and IoT-based distributed systems. This is a hands-on leadership role in a real-time, event-driven environment, driving serverless architecture and helping coordinate robotics and healthcare automation at scale.

Role Overview

As Backend Tech Lead, you will architect and build the distributed services that move autonomous robots and vital medical supplies through complex environments. This is a hands-on leadership role: you will write production code, own architectural decisions, and steer the evolution of a real-world logistics platform on AWS.

What You’ll Do

• Design and ship distributed services for real-time robot coordination, scheduling, and telemetry
• Own the architecture and data models for our event-driven stack (IoT Core, EventBridge, Lambda, Step Functions, DynamoDB, and more)
• Build everything as code using Serverless Framework or CloudFormation, with fully automated infrastructure provisioning
• Harden the platform for resilience, observability, and secure device-to-cloud communication (Datadog, SSM, least-privilege IAM)
• Drive engineering rigor in TDD, CI/CD with GitHub Actions, and p99 performance tuning
• Collaborate with product and robotics teams to align capabilities and constraints as we scale
• Elevate the team through hiring, mentoring, and insightful code reviews

Experience Level

• 7+ years designing, building, and owning distributed backend systems at production scale
• Deep AWS expertise across IoT Core, Lambda, Step Functions, DynamoDB, EventBridge, secured with least-privilege IAM and provisioned via Infrastructure as Code using Serverless Framework, CloudFormation, or Terraform
• Node.js and TypeScript specialist with a record of low latency, event-driven services for IoT ingestion, real-time analytics, and high-throughput messaging, including hands-on tuning to meet strict p99 targets
• Quality-first engineer who practices rigorous TDD, full automation, and CI/CD, embedding resilience, monitoring, and alerting for around-the-clock reliability
• Clear, empathetic communicator who mentors through thoughtful code reviews and pairing, and actively supports hiring and onboarding

What You Bring

• Strategic mindset with confidence in making trade-offs that balance speed, quality, and long-term maintainability
• Craftsmanship that yields maintainable, testable, and observable code that thrives in production
• Production savvy understanding of security, scalability, and performance best practices
• Leads by example through design guidance, mentoring, and thorough code reviews
• Takes ownership of business-critical systems and drives them to success

Bonus Points

• Domain experience in robot coordination, scheduling, or telemetry
• Familiarity with elevator systems, building automation, or other IoT integrations
• Background in migrating monoliths to service-oriented architectures

Why You’ll Love It Here

• High impact: every line of code improves hospital logistics and patient outcomes
• Fast pace and ownership: design it, ship it, and take pride in the results
• Purpose-driven work: build robotics systems for high-stakes environments like hospitals and labs
• Hybrid flexibility: regular on-site collaboration in Tel-Aviv with remote days when needed
