Design, build, and support the robust cloud-native applications, services, and APIs we need for our rapidly-growing business. Sample projects might include building a new processing pipeline or overhauling our data storage services to support increasing scale.
Research commercial and open-source solutions, and make build vs buy recommendations to bring new capabilities into the technology organization.
Enhance existing systems to add new functionality, and to improve performance, stability, quality, and security. Make quality-of-life improvements to the codebase, and help limit the growth of technical debt.
Build deep user empathy and maintain a user-centric mindset
Communicate regularly and effectively within and on behalf of our cross-functional product delivery teams. You’ll work with other disciplines including product, machine learning, and platform engineering, and will have opportunities to learn from and contribute to projects across the company.

7+ years of software engineering experience with either: (1) Proven track record of rapidly mastering new technologies and languages - you're the engineer who can pick up TypeScript/Node and be productive quickly, or (2) Deep specialization in Node.js backend development - you've built complex, scalable Node-based systems and know the ecosystem inside and out
Passion for engineering excellence, and a love for data and architecture
Experience building and deploying a complex backend system utilizing Temporal or Kafka at scale
Several years of experience building software for a regulated environment, and understand the tradeoffs that can be required to ensure compliance with regulations and frameworks such as HIPAA, SOC 2, and HITRUST

Willing to pitch in wherever needed - as a fast-moving startup we need to do good work, quickly
