Software Engineer (Product Backend) (AI)

Location: Onsite at the office in Copenhagen, Denmark. The role includes travel to the US and may involve visits to care facilities.

Company

hirify.global develops AI-powered ambient sensor technology for healthcare organizations, using activity, sleep, respiration, gait, and other signals to support care teams and identify risks.

What you will do

• Own backend development for new customer-facing product features from design through APIs, data models, services, and production rollout across multiple markets.
• Partner closely with product and design to shape feature scope and backend architecture for fast, sustainable iteration.
• Speak with care staff and customer success teams, visit care facilities when useful, and turn feedback into product and backend decisions.
• Design and build APIs, schemas, and services, while improving systems that block product delivery.
• Implement access control, auditability, and privacy-by-default practices for residents’ health data.
• Keep alerts and care-team workflows reliable as new features are released.

Requirements

• Strong TypeScript skills.
• Production experience building backend APIs and services and working with relational databases such as Postgres.
• Experience owning the backend side of product features, rather than focusing only on platform or infrastructure work.
• Experience with AWS or an equivalent cloud platform.
• Ability to communicate directly with non-technical users and turn ambiguous feedback into concrete decisions.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently and collaboratively.

Nice to have

• Experience working with product managers, designers, and frontend engineers on customer-facing features.
• Familiarity with real-time systems, event-driven architectures, or push notifications.
• Experience with health data or other regulated, privacy-sensitive domains such as GDPR.
• Experience shipping products across multiple markets and languages.
• Frontend exposure to React or React Native.

Culture & Benefits

• Participation in a warrant program with stock options.
• Small Copenhagen-based team where individual decisions directly shape the product.
• Close collaboration in the office rather than an async-only culture.
• Work on software used daily by healthcare workers, with tangible and immediate impact.
• Culture emphasizing ownership, entrepreneurship, high agency, speed, and comfort with ambiguity; this is not a 9–17 role.
