Thank you for considering the Backend Engineer position at Reveal Health Tech. We are an early-stage IT startup based in the US and India, focused on leveraging technology to deliver transformative healthcare solutions. 

About the Applied AI Lab 

The Applied AI Lab is an internal R&D team at Reveal dedicated to identifying high-impact problems in healthcare, life sciences, and adjacent verticals—and transforming those insights into repeatable AI solutions. 

We operate as a nimble product studio within the company: researching emerging technologies, rapidly prototyping AI and ML-powered tools, and building foundational infrastructure to support long-term product plays. Our output ranges from sandbox-ready MVPs to reusable components and SaaS-aligned platforms. Our team is multi-disciplinary—engineering, design, research, and business—and we work closely with client-facing and go-to-market teams to validate our ideas in the real world. 

About the Role

We’re looking for a Backend Engineer to join the Applied AI Lab and play a critical role in building robust, scalable, and flexible backend systems that power intelligent products and agentic workflows.
