- Deep understanding of microservices architecture and distributed systems

- Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP, or Azure) and container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes)

- Strong database design and management experience (SQL and NoSQL), including PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or DynamoDB

- Solid understanding of security best practices, including authentication, authorization, encryption, and secure data handling

- Experience building and managing CI/CD pipelines

- Own services in production end-to-end, including deployment, monitoring, incident response, and continuous improvement of reliability and performance

PREFERRED:

- Experience integrating with Epic EHR, including SMART on FHIR, Epic APIs, or Epic App Orchard.

- Familiarity with healthcare data standards such as FHIR and HL7.

- Experience with conversational AI, voice systems, or NLP technologies.

- Prior experience working in health tech or other regulated industries.

- Experience building or operating large-scale distributed systems.

- Exposure to DevOps practices, infrastructure-as-code, or site reliability engineering concepts.

Why it works

3×

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.
