Senior Full-Stack / AI Platform Engineer

* Sunnyvale, CA, United States * Not Remote * Engineering * JOB217990 ### **Company Description** It started with a simple idea: what if surgery could be less invasive and recovery less painful? Nearly 30 years later, that question still fuels everything we do at **Intuitive**. As a global leader in **robotic\-assisted surgery** and **minimally invasive care**, our technologies—like the **da Vinci surgical system** and **Ion**—have transformed how care is delivered for millions of patients worldwide. We’re a team of engineers, clinicians, and innovators united by one purpose: to make surgery smarter, safer, and more human. Every day, our work helps care teams perform with greater precision and patients recover faster, improving outcomes around the world. The problems we solve demand creativity, rigor, and collaboration. The work is challenging, but deeply meaningful—because every improvement we make has the potential to change a life. If you’re ready to contribute to something bigger than yourself and help **transform the future of healthcare**, you’ll find your purpose here. ### **Job Description** Intuitive is building a new AI\-powered platform to support how our teams work day to day — combining a modern web application, cloud\-native backend services, and generative AI to make information easier to find, questions easier to answer, and repetitive work easier to automate. We're looking for a senior full\-stack engineer to help build this platform from the ground up, working across the entire stack and partnering closely with the business teams who will use it every day. This is a hands\-on role for someone who wants to help shape a new product from its earliest stages — from architecture decisions through to what the end user actually sees and uses. **What You'll Do** * Design, build, and maintain both the frontend and backend of a new internal platform, from early prototypes through production * Build and maintain integrations between the platform and its underlying cloud and AI infrastructure * Partner directly with the business teams who will use the platform, translating their day\-to\-day workflows into working software * Implement secure authentication, access control, and data governance appropriate for sensitive business data * Help define and improve engineering practices — testing, CI/CD, deployment, and observability — as the platform matures * Iterate quickly based on real usage and feedback, balancing speed with reliability ### **Qualifications** **What We're Looking For** * 6\+ years of professional software engineering experience, with real production ownership across both frontend and backend systems * Strong Python skills, with hands\-on experience in FastAPI or a comparable async Python web framework * Strong React \+ TypeScript experience * Experience integrating LLM/AI APIs into production applications — agentic or tool\-calling patterns
