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
  • 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

 

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
