• Troubleshoot complex technical challenges and continuously improve system performance, reliability, security, and quality.
• Collaborate with engineers, product teams, and other stakeholders throughout the software development lifecycle.
• Contribute to engineering standards, best practices, and continuous improvement across the development process.

• 5+ years of experience with a strong track record of building and supporting production systems.
• Strong professional experience with Go and solid proficiency with TypeScript.
• Hands-on experience with cloud services and cloud-based architectures.
• Strong experience with software architecture, system design, APIs, and distributed systems.
• Demonstrated ability to take ownership of complex technical initiatives and drive them through completion.
• Strong technical judgment, with the ability to evaluate trade-offs, identify risks, and make sound engineering decisions.
• Ability to work independently while knowing when to collaborate, seek input, or elevate technical challenges.
• Experience working with modern development, testing, deployment, and version-control practices.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to break down complex problems into practical solutions.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, particularly in a distributed engineering environment.
• High standards for code quality, reliability, maintainability, and engineering excellence.

Nice to Have

• Experience in healthcare, health benefits, insurance, or related industries.
• Experience working in regulated or data-sensitive environments.
• Experience building systems involving complex data, integrations, or business-critical workflows.

Additional
