- 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
