- Optimize systems for performance, reliability, and scalability, supporting high-volume, real-time workloads

- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, and observability for production services

- Troubleshoot and resolve complex production issues; participate in on-call or production support rotations as needed

- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to engineering best practices, code quality, and architectural standards

- Stay current with emerging technologies and frameworks, applying them thoughtfully to improve product velocity and quality

Qualifications:

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience

- 5+ years of professional experience building backend applications with strong TypeScript/JavaScript expertise

- Strong proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript and Node.js for backend and API development

- Expertise in designing and consuming RESTful APIs and/or GraphQL

- Solid understanding of microservices architectures, distributed systems, and system design

- Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerized deployments (Docker, Kubernetes)

- Strong database skills with SQL and NoSQL systems (e.g., PostgreSQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB)

- Deep understanding of security best practices, authentication/authorization, and secure data handling

- Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and production monitoring/alerting systems

- Excellent collaboration and communication skills in cross-functional teams

Nice to Have:

- Experience implementing role-based access control (RBAC) and fine-grained permission systems

- Familiarity with identity providers and access management platforms such as Zitadel, Auth0, or similar

- Familiarity with healthcare data standards such as FHIR and HL7

- Experience with conversational AI, voice systems, or real-time systems

- Prior experience working in health tech or other regulated industries

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
