Backend Developer

About Eka.Care

Eka.Care is building the healthcare infrastructure layer for India — a GenAI-powered platform trusted by millions of patients, doctors, and healthcare providers.

From EMRs to intelligent clinical workflows, Eka operates at the intersection of healthcare delivery and AI innovation. Hundreds of clinics, hospitals, and health platforms rely on Eka to power real-world healthcare operations.

Our next frontier is conversational AI agents — systems that can triage patients, manage appointments, and integrate seamlessly into healthcare workflows across WhatsApp, web, and mobile platforms. These are production-grade systems handling real users and real clinical scenarios — not prototypes.

About the Role

We are looking for a Backend Developer who can bridge core backend engineering with modern AI systems. This role goes beyond traditional backend work — you'll design scalable systems while also building and integrating LLM-powered pipelines, agentic workflows, and data-driven AI services.

If you've built backend systems and experimented with LLMs, RAG pipelines, or agent frameworks — this role is built for you.

What You'll Do

Backend Engineering

• Take end-to-end ownership of backend systems and services
• Design, develop, and maintain scalable, high-performance architectures
• Build and manage microservices with clean APIs and strong system design principles
• Optimize applications for performance, scalability, and reliability
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code (unit + integration tests)
• Collaborate with product and frontend teams to translate requirements into technical solutions

AI & Agent Systems

• Build and integrate LLM-powered features and services into backend systems
• Design agentic workflows using frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, or custom orchestration
• Implement tool-calling, memory handling, and reasoning loops for AI agents
• Debug and trace model/agent behavior to improve reliability and outputs

RAG & Data Pipelines

• Develop Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines end-to-end
• Work with vector databases, embeddings, and retrieval strategies
• Improve system performance using recall/precision and retrieval quality metrics
• Build data pipelines for ingestion, processing, and indexing

Evals, Experimentation & Optimization

• Build and run LLM evaluation frameworks (automated + human-in-loop)
• Track experiments with prompt versioning, logging, and regression analysis
• Optimize prompts for accuracy, cost, and latency
• Document and publish learnings via dashboards, reports, or notebooks

Core Requirements

2+ years of backend development experience

• Strong proficiency in Python or GoLang
• Solid understanding of Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA)
• Experience with system design, APIs, and microservices architecture
• Hands-on experience with SQL/NoSQL databases and query optimization
• Experience building with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or open-source models)
• Working knowledge of vector databases & embedding pipelines
• At least one AI/agent framework (LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, etc.)
• Familiarity with messaging systems (queues/pub-sub)
• REST APIs / RPC frameworks
• Containerization (Docker, etc.)

What We're Looking For

• Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking
• Ability to own systems end-to-end
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment
• Curiosity to explore and implement cutting-edge AI systems
• Strong collaboration mindset with product and engineering teams
• Bias for action and continuous learning
