Experience developing modern user interfaces using Angular or React and integrating front-end applications with backend services and APIs.
Hands-on experience with AWS or Azure, relational and/or NoSQL databases, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing practices.
Strong understanding of enterprise application design, including scalability, performance, reliability, security, and cloud-native development practices.
Strong problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills, with experience working across teams in an Agile delivery environment.

These will help you stand out

Knowledge of regulated cloud environments and compliance standards such as HIPAA and FedRAMP.
Experience with event-driven architectures and technologies such as Apache Kafka.
Experience optimizing enterprise applications for performance, scalability, and reliability.
Familiarity with configuration-driven platforms and enterprise AI-assisted development tools, including Copilot.

We're excited to meet people who share our mission and can make an impact in a variety of ways. Don't hesitate to apply, even if you only meet the minimum requirements listed. Think about your transferable experiences and unique skills that make you stand out as someone who can bring new and exciting things to this role.
