What You'll Own

Architecture & Scalability: Partner with engineering leadership to evolve our core data models and APIs, transitioning from our current point-to-point architecture to a more resilient, event-driven system.
Technical Excellence: Drive a culture of delivering reliable and scalable solutions. You'll be a key voice in defining best practices for integration and end-to-end testing to improve our development velocity and system stability.
Customer Integrations: Lead the development and maintenance of integrations with third-party systems like EHRs. This includes building clean, well-documented APIs and ensuring our systems can reliably communicate with a diverse range of external platforms.
Mentorship: Mentor and elevate other engineers on the team, particularly in the areas of distributed systems, AWS best practices, and secure development.

What You Bring

Experience: You have 5+ years of experience in backend or full-stack development, with a strong background in building scalable, cloud-native applications.
Cloud: Deep expertise with AWS infrastructure, including serverless technologies (Lambda, Fargate), message queues (SQS/SNS), and data services (Kinesis, DynamoDB, RDS).
Programming: Proficient in TypeScript and Node.js. Experience with React is a plus.
Databases: Experience with both relational databases like PostgreSQL and NoSQL databases like DynamoDB.
Data Models: A strong understanding of data modeling principles and their application in building scalable and performant APIs.
AI Adoption: You actively use AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code) as a core part of how you work. AI usage goes well beyond basic prompting and into automating tasks, long-running processes, and complex integrations.
Problem Solver: You excel at breaking down complex, ambiguous problems into clear, actionable steps. You thrive in a fast-paced environment and are motivated by delivering tangible, high-impact results.
Collaborator: You are a strong communicator, capable of working with product, data science, and other engineering teams to solve real-world business challenges. You believe that great software is built through close collaboration.
Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to convey complex ideas clearly.
Adaptability: Comfortable working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and adapting to changing priorities.
Start-up experience is a plus.
