• Own end-to-end delivery of mission‑critical products, from concept to deployment, including:
  • Real‑time data pipelines: design and implement event‑streaming and ETL flows that process millions of records per second with low latency.
  • Batch & streaming hybrid architectures: leverage tools like Kafka Streams, Flink, and Spark Streaming.
  • Healthcare data integration: ingest, transform, and serve FHIR, CCDA, HL7 V2/V3, and other clinical document standards at scale.
  • Microservices & customer‑facing applications: build resilient, API‑driven services with robust versioning and backward compatibility.
• Optimize system performance (e.g., API latency reduction, error‑rate minimization) through distributed caching, code refactoring, and infrastructure improvements.
• Design fault‑tolerant, cloud‑native solutions (AWS, Kubernetes) with a focus on resilience, cost efficiency, and scalability.
• Lead migration/modernization efforts (e.g., legacy system rewrites, data lake/warehouse implementations) while ensuring seamless customer transitions.

• Partner with product managers and stakeholders to translate business requirements into technical solutions, advocating for sustainable and innovative approaches.
• Drive R&D initiatives to prototype and validate new technologies (e.g., AI/ML integration, real‑time analytics).
• Communicate complex technical concepts to non‑technical audiences, ensuring alignment across teams.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field (advanced degree preferred).
• 5–7 years in software engineering.
• Proficiency in Python and Java, with experience in modern frameworks (e.g., Flask/FastAPI, Spring Boot).
• Mastery of event‑driven architectures (Kafka, Kinesis), distributed systems, and cloud platforms (AWS, Kubernetes).
• Strong background in building scalable, real‑time data pipelines (Kafka, Flink, Airflow) and hybrid batch/stream systems.
• Hands‑on experience integrating and processing healthcare data standards: FHIR, CCDA, HL7 V2/V3, DICOM, etc.
• Database design (SQL, No
  
  SQL, DynamoDB) and data warehousing (Redshift, Big Query, Snowflake).
• Demonstrated success in optimizing performance (latency, error rates) and reducing infrastructure costs (AWS)
• Exceptional communication, problem‑solving, and collaboration skills; ability to navigate ambiguity and drive consensus.

• Experience in healthcare technology or other regulated industries (Medicare/Medicaid, payor systems, EHR integrations).
• Familiarity with real‑time analytics, AI/ML integration, or genomic data pipelines
