Principal Software Engineer (AI / Healthcare) — Europe / Remote

Job Description

Madrid, Berlin, London — Remote | €100,000 – €200,000 + equity
Full-time | Senior / Principal Level

About the Role

Our client is a stealth healthcare AI startup backed by a top-tier global venture capital firm, founded by experienced entrepreneurs with a strong track record in healthtech and large-scale consumer platforms.

Their mission is ambitious: to automate GP-level diagnosis using AI agents, transforming how healthcare is accessed and delivered globally.

This is a hands-on Principal Software Engineer role for someone who wants to operate at the intersection of AI, healthcare, and distributed systems, working directly with real hospitals and clinics to deploy production-grade solutions.

What You'll Work On

• Deploy and refine enterprise-grade AI systems used in real healthcare environments

• Build AI-driven patient communication and triage systems

• Design and operate agent orchestration frameworks with strong guardrails
• Develop secure healthcare data layers with strict privacy and compliance requirements

• Implement low-latency voice and video systems for clinical use cases

• Solve complex problems in distributed systems, scalability, and enterprise integration
• Work closely with hospitals, clinics, and internal stakeholders to ship real-world solutions

Tech Stack & Focus

• Primary language: Python (core requirement)

• AI systems for patient communication and decision support

• Distributed systems at scale

• Secure data architectures for healthcare

• Enterprise integrations and production deployments

• Flexibility to use other languages where appropriate for senior engineers

What We're Looking For

• Senior / Principal-level software engineering experience

• Strong expertise in Python and production systems

• Experience working with hospitals, clinics, or regulated healthcare environments

• Proven ability to deploy and maintain enterprise-grade systems

• Comfort operating in ambiguous, high-impact problem spaces

• Strong ownership mindset and ability to work autonomously

Why This Role?

• Direct impact on real healthcare outcomes, not experiments

• Work on doctor-level AI agents, not superficial automation

• Backed by top-tier investors with long-term vision

• High ownership, high trust, and minimal bureaucracy

• Competitive compensation with meaningful equity upside

Who This Role Is Not For

• Engineers looking for purely academic or research-only roles

• Candidates uncomfortable with production responsibility

• Those preferring narrow scope or rigid processes
