• Implement security practices such as code scanning, access controls, and audit logging
• Build core features like electronic signatures, audit logs, and data traceability based on user research
• Collaborate on developing a Quality Management System aligned with regulations
• Improve system reliability, database performance, API security, and distributed system design
• Mentor team members on security and quality best practices

Must-haves

• Experience with cloud infrastructure and DevOps (preferably AWS)
• Knowledge of security controls and compliance frameworks
• Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code and GitOps
• Strong understanding of APIs, databases, networks, and distributed systems
• Experience with CI/CD and automated testing
• Proficiency in TypeScript and Node.js in production
• Understanding of security principles in production systems
• Ability to communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders

Additional areas of expertise

• Experience with ISO 27001, ISO 9001, SOC 2, or similar
• Background in regulated industries like healthcare or finance
• Lifecycle management experience
• Experience with automated quality checks and validation frameworks

Nice-to-haves

• Experience with GMP, HIPAA, or similar environments
• Hardware-software integration knowledge
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes
• Python experience for tooling or data processing
• Background in manufacturing or lab automation
• Database performance tuning
