About the Role

To support our rapid growth and technological evolution, we are seeking a Lead Software Engineer to join our expanding IT team.

You’ll also help integrate AI models into production software and keep our products secure and compliant.

Responsibilities

• Lead API and data‑streaming service development used across TAG brands.

Required Skills

• Strong in Python, Go, or C#; expert in REST; solid with Graph
  
  QL integrations.
• Proficient with SQL (MySQL/Postgre
  
  SQL), cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure), CI/CD, and Kubernetes.
• Experience integrating AI/ML models into software; security best practices/HIPAA awareness.
• Front‑End‑leaning role: deep experience with a modern SPA framework (e.g., React/Type Script) and design‑system driven UI.
• Back‑End‑leaning role: depth in distributed systems, data streaming, and service performance/observability. (Microservices & rules engines a plus.)

Preferred Skills

• Healthcare tech exposure and HIPAA experience (bonus, not required).
