- Deep relational database knowledge (PostgreSQL preferred), including schema design, indexing, query optimization, and migrations.
- Experience designing, building, and maintaining APIs and complex data models for production systems.
- Skilled in service-oriented and event-driven architectures with focus on idempotency, retries, and safe backfills.
- Experience building systems with complex state machines, multi-step workflows, or orchestrated business processes.
- Strong technical leadership, including scoping, risk management, and delivery planning for small teams (38 engineers).
- Excellent communication skills to convey technical concepts to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
- Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools and modern engineering workflows.
Preferred:
- Healthcare, insurance, or enterprise SaaS experience with partner configuration, eligibility, or program matching systems.
- Experience with GCP (Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, Pub/Sub) and cloud infrastructure fundamentals.
- Exposure to configuration management systems, rules engines, or multi-tenant platform architecture.
- Experience integrating ML outputs into backend services and HIPAA-compliant systems.
Benefits:
- Competitive salary with potential performance-based incentives.
