Job Description:

What you'll be doing

• Design and implement backend systems for a HIPAA-compliant patient portal in the behavioral health space
• Take ownership of complex features end-to-end — from architecture through deployment
• Contribute to system design decisions and raise the technical bar across the team
• Integrate with external EHR systems through async, event-driven pipelines
• Mentor junior engineers through code review and technical guidance
• Deliver frontend features in React when needed

Required skills

• 5+ years building production applications on Python/Django or similar stacks
• Strong systems thinker: reasons about distributed state, failure modes, and long-term design tradeoffs — not just feature delivery
• Deep SQL and data modeling instincts — migrations, query optimization, schema design
• Distributed systems experience: async workflows, event-driven architecture, message queues
• AWS proficiency — Lambda, SQS, SNS, or comparable services
• React experience (class components a plus)
• Able to navigate ambiguous requirements, ask the right questions, and flag tradeoffs clearly
• Proficient with AI-assisted development tooling (Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) as a daily driver

Nice to have

• Prior experience in healthcare or other compliance-heavy domains
• EHR or third-party platform integration experience
• Appetite to grow toward technical leadership
