    Architect data access layers that strictly enforce HIPAA compliance, including row-level security, data masking, and comprehensive audit logging.

  • Quality Assurance:
    Lead the implementation of Test-Driven Development (TDD) practices, ensuring high code coverage via unit and integration tests.
Required Technical Skills
  • Core Stack: 7+ years of deep expertise in C# and .NET Core / .NET 5+ .
  • Database Mastery:

  • ORM:
    Advanced experience with Entity Framework Core (including interceptors and performance optimization).
  • Architecture:
    Strong mastery of Web API, Microservices, and Clean Architecture (Onion/Hexagonal).
  • Security:
    Solid understanding of Identity Server, JWT, and OAuth2 implementation.
Industry Experience Requirements
  • Healthcare Domain:
    Minimum 5+ years of experience developing Healthcare IT products (EMR, PMS, Billing, or Clinical systems).
  • Regulatory Knowledge:
    Practical experience implementing HIPAA, HITECH, and HL7/FHIR data standards.
