  • Legacy modernization or migration experience, carrying a live production system onto a new platform

  • Experience building and running software in a regulated, compliance-heavy environment (e.g., healthcare and PHI, HIPAA, SOC 2, or HITRUST), with the access-control, audit-logging, and data-handling discipline that implies
  • Strong command of relational data modeling and an ORM, and of structured request/schema validation as a general practice
  • Relevant experience using Docker
  • Understanding of microservices architecture and related patterns
  • Solid experience working from a fully remote position
  • Cloud-native experience on Azure, particularly containers and Kubernetes (AKS)
  • Workflow orchestration with Temporal or a comparable durable-execution runtime
