Senior Back-End Engineer - INDIA
As a Senior Back-End Engineer at heva, you will be building the core infrastructure at the intersection of healthcare, crypto, and AI. You’ll design, develop, and scale the backend systems that power our AI-driven care platform, our payments and wallet infrastructure, and our cross-border healthcare operations. You will work closely with front-end engineers, AI/agent engineers, and product leaders to ship secure, compliant, and high-performance systems that handle sensitive medical data, financial transactions, and real-time AI workflows. This role requires deep expertise in Golang, PostgreSQL, and cloud-native architectures, as well as strong experience designing APIs, scaling distributed systems, and optimizing data-intensive workloads. You’ll be building foundational systems that sit in a high-trust, regulated environment, where reliability, security, and correctness matter as much as speed. In short: you’ll be helping build the operating system for Care Without Borders — where modern AI meets healthcare delivery and global payments.
