About Arbiter

Our Engineering Culture & Values

• Engineering Excellence: Taking immense pride in our technical craft and the products we build, treating both with utmost respect and care.
• Impact-Driven Development: Firmly committed to engineering high-quality, fault-tolerant, and highly scalable systems that evolve seamlessly with business needs, minimizing disruption.
• Collaboration Over Ego: Valuing exceptional work and groundbreaking ideas above all else. We seek talented individuals who are accustomed to working in a fast-paced environment and are driven to ship often to achieve significant impact.
• Continuous Growth: Fostering an environment of continuous learning, mentorship, and professional development, where you can deepen your expertise and grow your career.

Responsibilities

• Automation Service Development: Design, develop, and implement highly scalable, fault-tolerant, and high-performance server-side automation services using Python and Playwright for complex, headless browser-based workflows.
• API & Wrapper Architecture: Architect and build clean, reusable Python-based client wrappers and services that expose stable, versioned APIs for desktop clients (e.g., EMRs like Epic), enabling them to be controlled as modern, distributed services.
• Distributed Systems Integration: Lead and contribute to the architectural design of our custom automation platform, ensuring new services and components integrate seamlessly, reliably, and observably with our central, custom-built Python-based orchestrator.
• Operational Excellence: Implement robust monitoring, alerting, and logging strategies to ensure system transparency, proactive issue identification, and efficient resolution in production environments.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with product managers, data scientists, AI engineers, and other engineering teams to translate complex requirements into technical solutions and integrate automation services seamlessly into the Arbiter platform.
• Technical Leadership: Provide technical guidance, mentorship, and conduct code reviews for junior engineers, championing best practices in Python, "code-first" automation, system design, and the full Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
• Testing & Quality: Implement comprehensive unit, integration, and functional testing strategies to ensure the highest quality and reliability of all developed automation components.
• Hiring & Onboarding: Participate in interviewing and onboarding new team members, helping to grow a world-class engineering organization.
