• Implement and maintain data persistence layers in PostgreSQL or other relational databases.
• Apply secure development practices, including IAM role restrictions, secrets management, and vulnerability scanning.
• Collaborate with product, implementation, and data teams to translate requirements into reliable, maintainable cloud services.
• Contribute to containerization and deployment workflows using Docker and GCP-native CI/CD tools.
• Ensure services meet compliance and security standards such as HIPAA , SOC 2 , and HITRUST .

Required Qualifications

• Proven experience building and owning production-grade APIs and backend services .
• 6+ months of professional experience deploying containerized services or serverless functions in GCP , AWS , or Azure , leveraging cloud-native offerings such as Pub/Sub and Cloud Storage.
• 6+ months of hands-on experience with Go (Golang) , or 4+ years of professional experience with a strongly typed, non–JavaScript language (e.g., C#, Rust).
• 6+ months of hands-on experience with PostgreSQL , or 2+ years of experience with any modern relational database (SQL Server, MySQL, etc.).
• Familiarity with Docker and cloud deployment pipelines.
• Understanding of secure networking and API security best practices.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills; comfortable in a fast-paced, startup environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with Kubernetes and Infrastructure as Code tools (e.g., Terraform).
• Exposure to healthcare interoperability standards ( FHIR , HL7 , X12).
• Experience integrating with EHR systems ( Epic , Meditech , Cerner ) or payer exchanges.
• Experience in regulated industries (healthcare preferred) and understanding of compliance frameworks such as HIPAA or HITRUST .
• Experience with monitoring, logging, and observability tools in GCP (Cloud Logging, Monitoring, Trace).
