Company Overview

Millions of families juggle elder-care across continents. 2care.ai turns that anxiety into confident, proactive care with an AI Health Voice Agent, WhatsApp-first workflows, and a unified medical-data platform. Founded by founders that have scaled SaaS globally to $80M, built consumer product which was acquired for $500M, and ex-AWS, managed operations, we’ve just secured backing from Silicon-Valley & Indian health-tech angels to go after the $430 B global market. Build in India, ship to the world starting ➡ USA

The Impact You’ll Own

As a Principal Engineer and Founding Engineering Leader, you will:

  • Architect the future: Design the end-to-end backend infrastructure, including microservices, data pipelines, event buses, and observability, to enable real-time interpretation of thousands of biomarkers.

  • Build for trust & compliance: Lead the implementation of HIPAA/GDPR-ready security measures, role-based access, audit trails, encryption, and FHIR-compatible APIs.

  • Scale real-time care: Create resilient APIs unifying WhatsApp, voice, and web dashboards to ensure 99.99% uptime.

  • Own data strategy: Shape our multi-tenant Postgres + time-series + vector-DB stack for longitudinal health graphs, AI embeddings, and analytics.

  • Lead & mentor: Hire the first backend squad, establish engineering best practices (IaC, CI/CD, trunk-based dev, TDD), and cultivate a culture of autonomy, craftsmanship, and user focus.

  • Partner with founders & doctors: Translate clinical workflows into elegant, safe services.

Our Current Stack

NextJs(TypeScript) • MySql (Planetscale) • Cloudflare(R2,Queues, Workers) • Redis • AI Integration with Claude, OpenAI and Gemini• Whatsapp Business Integration • Vercel • Github with actions for CI/CD

Future “AI-agent-first” stack could look like TypeScript-everywhere + Next.js foundation for DX consistency. Add a vector store (Pinecone / Weaviate) to power retrieval-augmented agents event streaming (Cloudflare Queues at edge) so agents run in parallel and stay decoupled Package each medical agent as an isolated TypeScript service (AWS Lambda / Workers), orchestrated by a light workflow engine (LangGraph-style) Expand Redis into a multi-tier cache (metadata, embeddings, feature flags) & OpenTelemetry tracing Bake in HIPAA/SOC 2 guardrails at middleware level (PII redaction, audit logs)

What Success Looks Like in 12 Months

  • Achieve zero-to-one PMF with backend reliably supporting 100x traffic with < 500ms P99 latency.
  • Pass HIPAA readiness audits to unlock US provider integrations.
  • Hire, mentor, and enable a team of 5 high-bar engineers shipping weekly value.

What You Bring

  • 7 + years building distributed systems at scale, ideally in health-tech, healthcare, or other regulated data domains.
  • Expertise in two of Go, TypeScript-Node, Python, plus experience with REST, gRPC/GraphQL, and event-driven patterns (Kafka, SNS/SQS, NATS…).
  • Cloud expertise on AWS (EKS / Fargate / Lambda / RDS / DynamoDB) with IaC (Terraform / CDK / Pulumi) and CI/CD (GitHub Actions, Argo).
  • Security-first mindset: Familiarity with OAuth2/OIDC, JWT, KMS, audit trails, SOC 2 / ISO 27001. *** Healthcare Tech experience a BIG plus. **
  • Startup DNA: bias for action, comfort with ambiguity, obsession with user outcomes.
  • Bonus: experience with LLM/ML inference, stream processing, or healthcare platforms.
