• Strong understanding of service-specific integration testing, E2E testing, and selective unit tests
• Familiarity with AWS (ECS, Terraform) and best practices for deploying cloud-based applications
• Problem-Solving Chops
• You thrive in “low-structure, high-ownership” environments, diving deep into complex issues and surfacing clear, elegant solutions
• Comfortable balancing immediate customer needs with robust long-term architecture planning

• Open to giving and receiving frequent feedback, even when it’s uncomfortable, to drive continuous improvement
• Customer Empathy
• Driven by a desire to make real-world impacts. You love collaborating with PMs and occasionally customers, ensuring that features resonate with end-users’ needs

• Write performant backend services using Node/NestJS and reliable frontend experiences with React and TypeScript
• Leverage MongoDB, Postgres, and Redis to ensure data integrity and speed at scale

• Contribute clean, modular code for our web and mobile applications (Ionic/React, Dart/Flutter)
• Work closely with the DevX team to enhance tooling and libraries that bolster productivity across our global engineering org

• Understand the real-world problems faced by our facility clients, nurses, and internal users
• Occasionally engage directly with customers to gather feedback, confirm requirements, and ensure solutions truly solve their problems
• Embrace a Remote-First Culture

• Participate in daily overlap sessions or syncs, typically in the mornings (US PST), to stay aligned with your team
• Contribute to a Customer-Centric Approach
• Whether fixing bugs, tackling tech debt (about 20% of our time), or brainstorming new features, always keep the user’s experience front and center
• Balance speedy fixes for pressing customer issues with longer-term structural improvements
• Participate in On-Call Rotations
• Own the systems you build: if something breaks, you’re part of the solution
• Typically on-call for one week out of the month, ensuring our platform remains reliable around the clock
