• Order service: the system of record such as orders, patients, clinical data, insurance billing claims, report (PDF) generation, and a web of third-party integrations.
• Slide tiles service: generates and serves DeepZoom pyramids from gigapixel pathology slides., * Product-obsessed builder: You’re never satisfied with “good enough”-you relentlessly spot opportunities to improve the product and move fast to ship them, knowing that done and iterating beats perfect and waiting.
• AI-native: You’re comfortable using latest AI tools (e.g., Cursor/Windsurf) to quickly build, refine, and document your code.

• Creative thinker: You thrive in environments requiring innovation and aren’t limited by past experience.
• Self-directed leader: You take ownership, set your own agenda, and move with urgency. You don’t need a roadmap handed to you. You identify what matters and rally others around it.
• Effective collaborator: You keep teammates informed, surface blockers early, and turn around feedback rapidly, making it easy for those around you to do their best work.
• Strong external communicator: You can represent the product and company confidently to customers, partners, and the outside world-translating technical work into clear, compelling narratives., + Strong TypeScript and React (we run React 19 /Next.js 15, App Router)
