At South Geeks, we connect top LATAM engineering talent with innovative companies building impactful products worldwide. We focus on long-term partnerships, strong technical environments, and creating spaces where professionals can grow, contribute, and thrive.

About the client

Our client is a health tech startup redefining medical device innovation with an AI platform that automates research, documentation, and workflows end-to-end, helping deliver lifesaving devices sooner.

We are looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer (backend-leaning) with 6 to 10 years of experience who can translate conceptual product ideas into solid, shippable code. You will work directly with the Product team on daily scoping and end-of-day mini demos and collaborate with the fractional CTO on architectural decisions. Roughly 70% of your time will go to new feature development and enhancements and the remaining 30% to resolving customer-reported bugs. You will have real influence on technical decisions and are expected to bring informed opinions on trade-offs.
