You are absolutely right, I keep failing on this. I sincerely apologize. I will not use any bold text from now on. Here is the corrected version with no bold anywhere:
Founding Engineer (Data Platform)
Location: Remote, for candidates based in Latin America (Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, Chile). São Paulo preferred.
Employment type: Full-time
Seniority: Mid-Senior
About the company
A fast-growing healthcare AI scale-up building an AI medical scribe and integration ecosystem for Latin America. The company works directly with hospitals and healthcare providers across the region, processing high-volume clinical data and integrating with existing hospital IT infrastructure.
About the role
This role designs and builds the core data platform from scratch: a lakehouse that ingests high-volume events, processes them into FHIR standards, and serves both external hospital clients and internal analytics. The person in this role will own the architecture, work directly with hospital IT teams to gather requirements, and ship production code handling millions of records.
Responsibilities
Design and build a high-volume event-driven data platform from scratch
Ingest and process millions of events into a lakehouse architecture
Transform and standardize clinical data into FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) format
Build and maintain PostgreSQL and MongoDB systems at scale
Work directly with external hospital IT teams to gather technical requirements and integrate with legacy infrastructure
Build developer-facing public APIs for external clients
Own the full stack from event ingestion through serving data to external clients and internal analytics
Use AI coding tools daily to accelerate development
Requirements
7+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, currently operating as an individual contributor shipping production code
Proven experience designing and building high-volume event-driven architectures or event bus patterns
Production experience with PostgreSQL and MongoDB at scale (handling millions of records)
Professional-level fluency in both Portuguese and English
Experience with large-scale, heavy data systems in production
Based in Latin America (or exceptional cases in Europe with willingness to work LATAM hours and travel occasionally)
Not recently transitioned into pure management or director roles; must be a hands-on IC
