About Apylon and the opportunity

Apylon is building the intelligent revenue compliance platform for European healthcare. Billions of euros flow between hospitals and insurers through fragmented, manual workflows — a maze of rules, formats, and contracts.

We believe this is a machine learning and automation problem disguised as financial operations.

Apylon is backed by experienced operators and top-tier investors in healthcare and fintech. Our team draws on experience from Zendesk, Pleo, Wawa Fertility, Sibill, and some of the largest multi-country hospital groups in Europe.

You will join the first small engineering team and help turn early traction into a scalable product. You’ll have massive ownership and influence over both what we build and how we build it.

This is a full-stack role — you’ll work across the entire product, from the APIs and data pipelines that power our compliance engine to the interfaces that make it usable for clinicians and billing teams. Your work will touch multiple components: the autonomous billing engine, data ETL pipelines, the web application, and integrations with electronic health records.

We use coding agents as a core part of how we build — not as a novelty, but as a genuine multiplier on engineering throughput. And they’re not just in our workflow: AI agents are embedded in the product itself, powering automated reasoning over complex billing rules and contracts.

Delivering healthcare is hard. Getting paid for it shouldn’t be.

You’ll be responsible for

• Building and owning features end-to-end — from React frontend to Django backend.
• Designing APIs, services, and data models that power complex billing and compliance workflows.
• Building integrations with external systems — hospital EHRs, insurance portals, and third-party data sources.
• Writing performant, well-tested code that handles real-world edge cases and scales with our growth.
• Contributing to architecture decisions and helping establish engineering best practices.
• Owning your work from design to deployment and monitoring.

Who you are

• 4+ years of experience building production applications — you enjoy solving hard technical problems.
• Comfortable across the stack: strong backend skills (Python/Django or similar), solid frontend experience with React and modern JavaScript/TypeScript.
• Product-minded — you care as much about why we build something as how.
• You write clean, pragmatic, and well-tested code.
• You actively use coding agents and LLMs to move faster — not just out of curiosity, but because you see how they can redefine how software is built.
• You think in systems — you understand how components interact and where complexity hides.
• You thrive in ambiguity and turn it into structure.

Bonus points

• Experience taking products from 0 to 1 or scaling fast-growing systems.
• You’ve worked in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift quickly, and you helped bring clarity and structure.
• Exposure to healthcare, fintech, or other regulated domains.
• Experience with data pipelines, external integrations, or messy real-world data.
• Comfort working with AI/ML components or building LLM-powered features.

Our tech stack

• Python · Django · React · PostgreSQL · AWS · K8s · Terraform · Bedrock
• We’re pragmatic — you’ll have a big say in how it evolves.

What Apylon offers

• The chance to solve one of Europe’s biggest healthcare inefficiencies.
• Competitive salary + stock options (you’ll own part of what you build).
• 25 days of annual leave + local public holidays.
• Lunch on us during workdays at the office.
• Regular off-sites and social events — we like building together, not just working together.
• Remote (Europe), or working from Berlin, Milan or Copenhagen.
• This role may require international travel within the EU on a roughly monthly cadence.

Working at Apylon means embarking on a highly ambitious mission to rebuild the financial infrastructure of European healthcare. We’re already live with leading private hospitals, processing thousands of invoices, proving that complex payer rules can be turned into code — powering transparent, automated, and intelligent revenue systems.
