About the role
- New Lantern is building an AI radiology resident—think Cursor for radiologists. Our application integrates the three software tools radiologists use all day, together with AI, to create a platform that saves radiologists toil and lets them focus on reading images and finding disease.
- As a backend software engineer working on our radiology platform, you'll be responsible for building and maintaining a reliable, high performance server application that enables our product, including receiving and processing radiology image data, running LLM inference tasks to assist users, and transmitting completed medical reports, as well as providing
Responsibilities

- Partner with frontend developers to ship new features and improve overall system performance and reliability.
- Participate in an on-call rotation or customer support engineering rotation.
- 4+ years of progressive experience building and maintaining complex, high performance web applications running in cloud environments.
- Well-practiced debugging and problem-solving skills, and a thorough understanding of the abstractions you typically build on top of.
- An end-to-end ownership mindset across design, implementation, testing, and monitoring.
- Experience using AI/LLM-based tools for developing software and solving software problems (e.g. Claude Code/Cursor/Codex/Copilot/OpenCode/etc.).
- Experience building and maintaining reliable LLM- or ML-based products or systems, including evals, fine tuning, operations, and data engineering.
- Experience building and operating production data processing pipelines.
Requirements
- Solid experience with Python and a Python web framework (ideally Django) as well as the supporting dev tools ecosystem.
- Experience with data modeling (and grappling with the consequences of poor data modeling decisions).
Benefits
- Familiarity with radiology, medical imaging, or related fields.
- a radiology image archive & viewer, a medical report dictation system, and work management system
