About Norbert

Norbert is building autonomous robots that deliver healthcare.

Our AI sensing platform mounts on mobile robots and does the work of a care team member—rounding on patients, capturing vitals without contact (FDA-cleared for pulse and respiratory rate, more in the pipeline), running assessments, documenting to the EMR, and escalating when something's wrong. Autonomously.

We're not building demos. We're deployed in real facilities today, monitoring hundreds of patients daily. We're solving one of healthcare's hardest problems: a global nursing shortage that will hit 40% by 2030.

We're a small, international team backed by top-tier VCs, with offices in Brooklyn and Paris. We ship things that matter.

The Role

We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to own and evolve the backbone of our system.

Our backend connects robots, embedded devices, Android applications, EMR systems, and a user portal. Architecture and delivery aren't separate phases—they evolve together. You'll consolidate multiple APIs into a clean, domain-driven design while shipping features and building the foundation to scale orders of magnitude. Pragmatic judgment matters.

You'll own the backend end-to-end: architecture, code, compliance documentation, cybersecurity, and privacy. If you believe that less is more and that building with quality is faster, not slower, you'll fit right in.

You'll work directly with the VP of Engineering and collaborate with a small team of highly competent engineers across AI, firmware, Android, product and operations. Soft skills matter here. So does craftsmanship.

What You'll Do

  • Architect and implement a unified, domain-driven backend across multiple interconnected systems
  • Own and evolve our AWS cloud infrastructure for IoT devices and robotic platforms
  • Design and maintain APIs—internal, enterprise, and streaming from devices
  • Build and maintain healthcare interoperability connectors (EMR integrations)
  • Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitLab)
  • Own compliance and security posture: documentation, cybersecurity, privacy
  • Make critical architecture decisions that will define how we scale

What We're Looking For

Must have:

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering or relevant field
  • 10+ years of experience in backend development (5+ years minimum with strong alignment to role expectations)
  • Strong coding skills in Python (primary language)
  • Solid experience with AWS and containerization (Docker)
  • Experience with MongoDB and API design (NoSQL, REST)
  • Experience architecting systems that coordinate multiple services and data sources

Expected at this level:

  • Ability to make, document, and communicate architecture decisions
  • Comfort owning compliance-adjacent work (documentation, security, privacy)
  • Experience with monitoring and incident management (e.g., Datadog)
  • Strong communication skills and genuine team spirit

Nice to have:

  • Experience with healthcare compliance (ISO 13485, IEC 62304)
  • Familiarity with Go or C++
  • Experience with container orchestration (Kubernetes)
  • Frontend/dashboard experience (Retool, Vue.js)

What We Offer

  • Real impact: your code provides caring for patients today
  • A hard, interesting problem: unifying, developing and scaling a complex backend
  • High autonomy and end-to-end ownership
  • Opportunity to progress in the workplace
  • A talented, excellent, diverse and international team
  • Cutting-edge stack: embedded AI, robotics, LLMs, multimodal sensing
  • Competing salaries and equity
  • Based in Montreal, remote for now, in-office expected
