About Avey

Avey is a deep-tech company innovating AI to transform healthcare and improve lives across the globe.

Avey is on a mission to unlock the full potential of clinical care and make every health journey delightful.

We are looking for enthusiastic, hard-working professionals who are excited to contribute to and join Avey's mission to create a solution that will have a real and positive effect on the world.

Position Overview

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to own product development end-to-end across Avey's API Gateway and our flagship medical products. This is a backend-leaning role for a strong Go engineer with deep fullstack fundamentals and a full command of the product development lifecycle. You'll own a product area, make architecture calls, and ship systems that will launch worldwide and serve hospitals across the GCC. This role reports directly to the CTO and the executive team.

The candidates who are either available in Qatar or is willing to relocate to Qatar should only be applying for this role.

Key Responsibilities

1. Product Ownership — 0 to 100

• Own product areas end-to-end: from architecture and API design through delivery, operation, and iteration in production.
• Ship across the full lifecycle, greenfield services for new products, and extensions on mature systems already serving hospitals.
• Partner with Product, Design, DevOps, and InfoSec to turn ambiguous requirements into shipped, secure, operable features.

2. Backend, Distributed Systems & Fullstack Delivery

• Design and build high-throughput, low-latency backend services in Go.
• Own core parts of Avey's API Gateway and the services behind our medical products.
• Build for scale and precision, these systems will launch worldwide and carry real clinical weight.
• Ship frontend features in Next.js / React / TypeScript when a product area needs it end-to-end.

3. Production Quality

• Own the production quality of what you ship; testing, resilience, observability, and on-call health.

4. Technical Leadership

• Make architecture decisions for your product area and communicate them clearly through design docs, diagrams, and design reviews.
• Mentor engineers through code review, design review, and pairing.
• Raise the engineering bar across testing, system design, and incident review.

Requirements

• 4+ years of professional software engineering, with substantial ownership of production systems end-to-end.
• Production Go experience is required. You must have shipped and operated Go services on a meaningful scale, with strong command of Go concurrency patterns and performance.
• Hands-on experience with gRPC and Protocol Buffers for service-to-service communication.
• Proven experience designing and operating microservices in production.
• Full product development lifecycle experience from scoping to production to post-launch operation.
• Strong system design fundamentals and a deep understanding of distributed systems.
• Hands-on production experience with event streaming (Kafka or equivalent), caching (Redis), and relational databases.
• Deep Full Stack fundamentals, comfortable shipping features in Next.js / React / TypeScript when needed.
• Strong instincts for testing (unit, integration, contract, e2e), resilience, and observability.
• Security-minded engineering — authz/authn, secrets management, rate limiting, and API-layer controls.
• Working understanding DevOps practices, containerization (Docker), and CI/CD pipelines; Kubernetes experience is a plus.

Nice to Have

• Healthcare domain experience, HL7, FHIR, HIS/EMR integrations, or clinical products.
• Experience integrating payment gateways (regional or global).
• Prior startup or scale-up experience.
• Experience shipping products to regulated or high-compliance environments (GCC, HIPAA, GDPR).
• Exposure to API gateway design, rate limiting, auth, tenancy, versioning.
• Open-source contributions in the Go ecosystem.

Note:

Avey is an equal opportunity employer. We encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply.
