Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain reliable, production-grade code across frontend, backend, and data layers, implementing software solutions that meet clinical, operational, and regulatory requirements
- Deploy and operate services in a cloud environment (AWS preferred) and contribute to architecture and design reviews with a focus on reliability, scalability, and security
- Debug and resolve production issues across distributed and asynchronous workflows; diagnose performance bottlenecks; and own incident response, including root cause analysis and durable fixes that prevent recurrence
- Collaborate with QA, Clinical Operations, Clinical Development, Product, and IT stakeholders to translate requirements into validated releases
- Design APIs and data models that preserve audit trails, version history, and system traceability; and improve system observability through structured logging, monitoring, and alerting
- Uphold high standards for data integrity, security, and regulatory compliance across all systems
Skills
- Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering or equivalent practical experience
- 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience, with demonstrated ability to design, build, and operate production software systems end-to-end
- Demonstrated experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., code generation, automated testing, debugging copilots) to improve engineering productivity and code quality, with ability to critically evaluate AI-generated outputs for correctness, security, and maintainability
- Strong foundation in software engineering fundamentals: data structures and algorithms, API and interface design, relational data modeling and transactional integrity, and separation of concerns
- Demonstrated ability to debug complex issues across multiple layers (client, API, database, infrastructure) and trace issues in distributed or asynchronous systems using logs, metrics, and instrumentation
- Experience deploying and operating applications in a cloud environment (any major provider), including networking, access control, configuration, and monitoring; and experience designing secure systems including authentication and authorization flows
- Experience implementing production-grade monitoring, alerting, and CI/CD practices; and ability to work effectively in a remote-first, high-accountability environment
- The physical and mental requirements of our roles include but are not limited to regular use of a computer, devices or other office equipment, clear communication, and occasional movement.
