About the role:

We’re looking for a Principal Engineer / Product Architect to lead the next evolution of Vumedi’s product architecture and technical direction. This is a hands-on, high-impact role - shaping how millions of doctors discover, learn, and collaborate through intelligent, scalable systems.

You’ll be both architect and builder, working directly with the CTO and engineering leaders across our US and Croatia teams to bring ambitious ideas from prototype to production.

What you’ll do: 

• Architect the future of Vumedi’s platform - from scalable video systems to AI-powered content discovery and personalized learning experiences.
• Prototype and build AI workflows and agents powered by LLMs (Large Language Models) to transform how doctors interact with knowledge, surface insights, and discover content.

• Partner with engineering leadership to drive system migrations and modernization (Python/Django backend, React frontend, AWS infrastructure).
• Mentor engineers across pods and raise the technical bar through design reviews, prototypes, and shared best practices.
• Lead technical exploration of new tools - from vector databases and RAG frameworks to real-time video personalization - to keep Vumedi on the edge of applied AI.

This role is ideal for someone who loves to zoom out on system architecture and zoom in on code - someone who can imagine what Vumedi’s platform looks like in five years, then open their editor and start building it.

Who you are:

• 9+ years of experience building and scaling software systems, ideally in consumer, data, or AI products.
• Proven success as a Principal Engineer, Staff Engineer, or Architect leading major system designs end-to-end.
• Expertise in designing distributed systems and cloud architectures on AWS (EC2, Lambda, S3, CloudFront, ECS, RDS, etc.).
