Python Backend Engineer - Remote

👋 Welcome to dexter health! At dexter health, we build AI-powered software for care teams. Our mission is to reduce administrative workload in healthcare so caregivers can spend more time with patients. We are looking for a high-agency Backend Python Engineer to help us improve and scale the backend systems behind our products. The role focuses on Python, databases, external APIs, cloud infrastructure, testing, validation, and production reliability. You will work on backend systems that connect dexter health with third-party healthcare software providers. These systems synchronize and validate operational data used in real care workflows. External APIs are inconsistent, data models are messy, and edge cases are common. We need someone who is fast, sharp, and ownership-driven: someone who reads unfamiliar code, debugs production issues, finds root causes, and ships robust fixes quickly without waiting for detailed instructions. This is a shared-ownership role, not a ticket-
