Nice To Haves

An engineer who combines strong technical skills with sound judgment.
Asks questions before proposing solutions, understands the broader systems surrounding the code they’re working on, and thinks carefully about security, reliability, and operational impact.
Comfortable working across the stack and can independently carry substantial features from concept through production.
Communicates clearly in writing, collaborates effectively in a remote environment, and holds a high bar for the engineers around you.
Uses AI-assisted development tools productively and understands both their strengths and limitations. Knows how to verify results, identify incorrect assumptions, and maintain engineering standards while working at a faster pace.

Responsibilities

Build and own the integrations at the center of our platform, from technical design and vendor coordination through implementation, monitoring, troubleshooting, and ongoing improvement.
Make these systems work as one by ensuring data arrives accurately, is reconciled appropriately, and reaches the right systems and teams at the right time, using APIs, event-driven architectures, message queues, webhooks, scheduled processes, and file-based integrations.
Build the product experiences on top of those integrations by extending the Laravel backend and building/maintaining Livewire and Blade interfaces.
Design, implement, and maintain well-structured APIs for internal and external consumers.
Integrate with third-party platforms using REST APIs, OAuth2, token-based authentication, webhooks, and related integration patterns.
Work closely with our cloud infrastructure (AWS services like Aurora PostgreSQL, S3, queues) and reason about software behavior in production, including performance, reliability, scalability, security, and operational observability.
Mentor and support other engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and day-to-day collaboration, sharing effective approaches to modern software development, including the responsible use of AI-assisted development tools.
Continuously improve system performance, resiliency, operational visibility, and developer productivity.
Identify opportunities to simplify architecture, reduce operational burden, and improve the long-term maintainability of the platform.
Build with security in mind, protecting PHI and other sensitive information through thoughtful system design, strong access controls, and careful attention to tenant isolation.
Own what you ship by monitoring, troubleshooting, and improving the systems you develop, treating reliability, data integrity, security, and operational excellence as first-class engineering concerns.
