Requirements

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and maintain core APIs and backend services that drive platform workflows and facilitate external integrations.
• Develop and support FHIR-based integrations, including resource transformation, validation, and workflow orchestration.
• Implement business logic, service-layer rules, and integration patterns for internal and partner-facing APIs.
• Assist in exposing select services through MCP-compatible wrappers to enable AI and automation use cases.
• Collaborate closely with the Tech Lead on architecture, design decisions, performance optimization, and production support.
• Write clean, maintainable code, automated tests, and comprehensive technical documentation.

Qualifications

• 4-6 years of professional backend engineering experience.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field
• Proven experience building APIs and service integrations in production environments.
• Working knowledge of FHIR resources, healthcare data exchange, or interoperability frameworks.
• Experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) deployments and cloud-native development practices.
• Strong SQL proficiency and data modeling skills.
• Ability to independently own and deliver medium-to-high complexity technical projects.

Preferred Experience

• Familiarity with event-driven architectures, Pub/Sub messaging, or workflow orchestration systems.
• Exposure to AI enablement patterns, tool interfaces, or MCP-style service wrapping.
• Java Development: Strong proficiency in Java, including frameworks such as Spring Boot for building RESTful APIs.
• API Gateway Management: Experience with Kong, Apigee or similar API Gateway for configuring, deploying, and managing APIs, including plugins for authentication, rate limiting, and monitoring.
• Containerization and Orchestration: Experience with Docker for containerizing Java applications and Kubernetes for orchestration in GCP environments.
• Security: Knowledge of API security best practices, including OAuth2, JWT tokens, API keys, and encryption both in transit and at rest.
• CI/CD Pipelines: Experience designing and implementing continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines using tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, or Google Cloud Build.
• Monitoring and Logging: Familiarity with monitoring tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Google Cloud Monitoring, and centralized logging with Google Cloud Logging or ELK Stack.
• Networking and Load Balancing: Understanding of networking concepts within GCP, including Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), firewall rules, and load balancing for API traffic management.
• API Design and Documentation: Experience with API specification standards such as OpenAPI/Swagger and tools for API documentation and testing (e.g., Postman).

What We Offer

• Opportunity to work on innovative projects with a dynamic team.
• Professional development and growth opportunities.
• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Supportive and inclusive work environment.
