Job description
Software Engineer – Backend (Computer Use & Integrations) (m/w/d)
Remote job
About Recare
As one of the leading German HealthTech companies, we are reshaping discharge management – technology-driven, patient-centered, and free from bureaucracy. In addition to our market-leading SaaS platform, we develop AI solutions that radically simplify processes in hospitals and for aftercare providers, relieve healthcare professionals, and refocus attention on patients. Today, we already connect two-thirds of all German hospitals with over 650 rehabilitation clinics and 25,000 nursing and homecare providers. With currently around 100 employees, we continue to grow – and we are looking for people with character who want to help us improve the healthcare system and solve administrative complexity across care journeys in Europe.
What to expect as our Software Engineer – Backend (Computer Use & Integrations) (m/w/d):
Purposeful work – your role will have a positive impact on patients, their families, and healthcare professionals.
Company culture – we believe in flat hierarchies that promote high performance and strong team dynamics. We foster an environment characterized by mutual respect, loyalty, and recognition. Together, we strive for our goals – and expect the same from you.
Flexibility – want to pick up your child from daycare? Like to exercise during lunch? We'll support you. We are a remote-friendly company offering flexible working hours. Workations are also possible by arrangement.
Edenred card – which you can use according to your needs.
Extra vacation day – so you can celebrate your birthday with your loved ones, you'll have the day off.
In this role, you can make an impact and grow with us as Software Engineer
You'll help build Recare's Operator, our agent that gets AI-generated clinical output into hospital systems by operating their existing software the way a person would, no bespoke interface required. It's the sharp end of our integration strategy: a Windows desktop application that automates UI interactions with hospital systems, running on doctors' devices and often inside RDP or Citrix environments. The first version is already live – you'll help expand its capabilities and make it reliable in production.
You build and improve integrations between hospital systems and Recare products.
You implement and harden computer-use automation flows so they work reliably in production, including edge cases, recovery, and safety rails.
You partner with clinical domain experts to turn ambiguous workflows into shippable plans and robust implementations that solve real customers' needs.
You contribute across the stack as needed, including our Go-based gateway.
You invest in observability foundations (logs, metrics, traces) so we can trust the system in production.
How we work:
AI-native – our engineers reach for frontier coding agents every day to move fast across the whole stack, and we want strong, opinionated views on how to wield them well.
Frontier models – we build on the best models available and adopt new capabilities as they ship, not a release later.
Human-in-the-loop by default – this is healthcare: AI proposes, people stay in control, and we design the approval and validation loops that make that real.
Unglamorous foundations – engineers get the time to build the eval harnesses, guardrails, and observability that make AI trustworthy in production, not just the feature on top.
Ship and observe – always deployable, telemetry-driven, fix in the open.
Job requirements
Here's how we picture you as our Software Engineer
You're a builder with a hacker mindset: you default to building rather than waiting, and you're solution-oriented rather than problem-oriented.
You have professional backend experience in Go, Python, or TypeScript, and you can point to production software you shipped and owned.
You're comfortable working on integration-heavy systems: APIs, workflows, data models, auth, and real-world edge cases.
You're pragmatic about reliability: you care about monitoring, debugging, test coverage, and making systems operable.
You're excited to use AI coding agents daily and have opinions on how to use them effectively.
You're ambitious but frustration-tolerant. Hospital IT is complicated and progress is hard-won; you stay relentless, get your hands dirty, and iterate until it works.
You communicate confidently in English and collaborate well across Product, Engineering, and Operations.
Nice to have:
German language skills.
Experience with Electron or TypeScript on the desktop side.
Experience with healthcare IT systems (HIS, KIS, PVS, EMR) and interoperability standards such as HL7 v2 or FHIR.
Professional backend experience in Go, Python, or TypeScript; production software ownership; integration-heavy systems experience; pragmatic reliability; AI coding agent proficiency; English communication; German language skills nice to have.
