Software Engineer - Backend - Node.js API - Business Platform

About Us 

At Ailevate, we believe AI should do the work—not create more of it. Our platform powers fully autonomous AI agents that operate behind the scenes, eliminating friction, resolving tasks in real time, and recovering revenue with zero manual intervention. 

Our roots are in healthcare, where revenue cycle challenges are complex and constant. Ailevate’s AI agents are purpose-built to tackle these pain points—from denial resolution to claims optimization—helping providers recover more revenue, faster, with less human effort.

Built for businesses that demand more from their technology, Ailevate delivers secure, on-prem, and cost-effective AI solutions that quietly transform operations. No hand-holding. Just results. From denial management in healthcare to operational workflows across industries, we’re making AI as effortless—and powerful—as it should be. 

Your Role 

As the first Back-End Engineer on our newly formed Business Platform team, you will design and implement production-grade APIs, services, and infrastructure that power Ailevate’s internal platform for managing customer environments, licensing, and account operations. These systems are essential to enabling our GTM and Customer Success teams to support customers efficiently and autonomously, without requiring engineering intervention. You will be a founding member of the Business Platform team, with the opportunity to become the lead Back-End engineer for the team as it grows. 

You'll contribute directly to the evolution of our backend architecture, ensuring that all systems are scalable, maintainable, and built with clean, performant code. Your work will influence not just service functionality, but the platform-wide standards that drive consistency, reliability, and developer productivity. 

In this role, you will: 

• Design and implement scalable, REST and OpenAPI-compliant services using Node.js that enable seamless front-end integration and efficient data processing workflows. 

• Build reusable backend components that support data transformation, caching strategies, and high-performance database operations. 

• Champion engineering values such as API design excellence, clean architecture, testability, and performance optimization, ensuring services are enterprise-ready from deployment. 

• Collaborate closely with front-end engineers, architects, and product leaders to deliver secure, performant solutions that meet real-world business requirements and user needs. 

• Drive technical decisions around data modeling, service architecture, and infrastructure patterns that support scalability and maintainability. 

• Write comprehensive technical documentation for API specifications, service architecture, and integration patterns to support team collaboration and system evolution. 

• Build out tooling and connectors for integrating with 3rd-party data providers through Azure Data Factory 

Technologies you'll work with include Node.js, TypeScript, REST APIs, OpenAPI specifications, Elasticsearch, and modern backend tooling—with a focus on security, performance, and reliability in production environments. 

This is a hands-on, high-impact role ideal for engineers who thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments and want to shape the technical foundation of applications that deliver real-world impact.  

Your Responsibilities 

• Build scalable backend services using Node.js and TypeScript 

• Design REST APIs to support licensing, provisioning, and account operations 

• Work across Postgres, Redis, and SQLite to manage dynamic internal data 

• Define contracts and workflows in close collaboration with frontend, product, and infrastructure teams 

• Ensure reliability, observability, and performance from day one 

• Contribute to CI/CD workflows and support containerized deployments (Docker) 

• Own delivery from architecture through deployment—this is a build role, not a maintenance role 

Required Skills & Experience 

• 5+ years of experience building back-end systems in Node.js and TypeScript 

• Strong understanding of RESTful APIs and service-oriented architecture 

• Real-world experience with relational and in-memory datastores 

• Proven ability to debug distributed systems and optimize backend performance 

• Comfortable with CI/CD pipelines and cloud-native deployment patterns 

• High ownership mindset—you take initiative, deliver independently, and drive clarity across teams 

Nice-to-Have 

• Experience building internal tooling or shared backend platforms 

• Familiarity with observability stacks (Grafana, Datadog, Loki) 

• Exposure to authentication/authorization layers (OAuth2, API keys, etc.) 

• Background in regulated or high-reliability industries (healthcare, finance, etc.) 

• Interest in automation, real-time processing, or agentic AI systems
