Job Summary
In this role, you will be responsible for developing and optimizing the Python system for real-time documentation in clinics while actively engaging with the deployment of our AI tools in clinical practice.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- You work side by side with our CTO and are responsible for core systems from start to finish. Your code runs in real clinics within weeks. You communicate with the doctors who use it and then improve it. Maximum autonomy, genuine founding equity (VSOP), a product from 0 to 1.
- You are responsible for:
- The Python backend that powers our medical real-time documentation in production
- Live transcription of real doctor-patient conversations: streaming audio, multiple STT providers, quality monitoring, and fallback mechanisms.
- Our core Applied AI: LLM evaluation pipelines, prompt optimization, multi-provider routing and fallback chains, including cost and latency considerations when operating AI at scale.
- Multi-cloud production infrastructure that reliably keeps everything operational in clinical use.
- Greenfield projects that define what our AI doctor will become next
- Full-Stack, when it matters: The work is primarily in the backend and AI, but our product is based on Flutter (Windows and Web), and you step in when needed. We are a small team and go where the problem is.

Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- You are a good fit for us if you:
- Build things and not just work through tickets: you prototype on weekends, get your own projects running, and want to leave your mark on a product.

- high level of initiative: You recognize a problem, propose a solution, and deliver the implementation.
- working with modern AI tools and wanting to dive deep into Applied AI (Evaluation, Prompting, Routing, Real-time Pipelines), whether already experienced or eager to learn
- Think like a co-founder: You question our approach, identify opportunities, and take Sikia to the next level.
- You bring empathy for the doctors, physicians, and patients for whom we are building.
- You understand German at a conversational level.
- Advantages: Dart and Flutter (especially Windows Desktop), a good sense for products, a background in Computer Science, a STEM subject, or medicine, or you are self-taught with serious delivered projects.
Experience
- really strong in Python, our core language, with at least three years of programming experience
