What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who is curious, careful, and takes ownership of their work. The right candidate reads existing code before writing new code, understands the pattern before adding to it, and recognizes that in a healthcare platform a mistake is not just a bug, it is a compliance risk.

You do not need to know everything. You do need to be the kind of developer who figures things out, communicates clearly when something is unclear, and never ships code they are not confident in. Experience is helpful but attitude and work ethic matter more at this level.

This role offers a clear path to grow from a junior developer into a senior engineer as your knowledge of the platform, the stack, and the healthcare domain deepens.

Eligibility

 * Must be authorized to work in the United States
 * Must reside in Southern California
 * Must be available during standard PST business hours
 * Must be able to commute to a SoCal office or client location approximately one day per week
 * Must have a reliable internet connection and a professional work-from-home environment

## Description

* Build and maintain Django REST API endpoints, clinical records, and multi-tenant data routing
 * Build React/Vite frontend components including dashboards, forms, modals, and real-time updates
 * Write and review database migrations following additive-only practices no critical changes without explicit sign-off
 * Test all changes on staging before production, nothing goes to production untested
 * Participate in code review and maintain clean, documented code as features ship
 * Identify bugs, flag blockers early, and communicate clearly on what is in progress and what is done
