This team owns the customer-facing portals that serve patients, providers, and payers, along with the integrations that power them. You will design, build, and run secure, reliable, full-stack services on AWS, working in a squad that owns its product end to end. You will write high-quality code, strengthen how we build, and help the engineers around you grow. We are looking for someone who builds with the full lifecycle in mind: thoughtful design, solid testing, and real responsibility for how services run once they are live. The ideal candidate is a strong collaborator who listens before they lead, shares what they know generously, and brings people along when change is needed. What You'll Work On * Design and build RESTful and GraphQL APIs, services, and event-driven integrations using Java, Spring Boot, and messaging platforms such as Kafka, with attention to versioning, error handling, and idempotency. * Contribute to front-end work, building responsive, accessible user interfaces using Angular, TypeScript, RxJS, HTML, and CSS. * Treat performance, availability, observability, security, and compliance requirements as first-class parts of every design, not afterthoughts. * Write and automate unit and integration tests that give the team confidence to ship often. * Deploy and operate services on AWS using containers and infrastructure as code, supported by GitLab CI/CD pipelines. * Apply sound architectural patterns, such as hexagonal and layered architecture, to keep services clear, testable, and easy to change. * Contribute to design discussions and code reviews, mentor engineers earlier in their careers, and help raise the quality bar across the squad. * Partner with product, UX, QE, and other engineering teams in an Agile environment to deliver features that serve our portal users.
