Job description

We're hiring a Backend Developer who treats latency budgets like personal grudges and GraphQL like a second language. The shape of it is simple — bring 5 years and GitLab CI, take home $93,000 - $129,000, and grow into whatever Premier Health Systems builds next.

Key Responsibilities

• Pull REST API telemetry into dashboards Premier Health Systems leaders actually open
• Translate a napkin idea from Premier Health Systems founders into a GitLab CI clarity-seeking prototype
• Develop and maintain RESTful APIs powering core Premier Health Systems products
• Build the boldly-pragmatic Critical Thinking feature that wins back the WA accounts Premier Health Systems lost
• Architect fault-tolerant distributed systems leveraging gRPC and GitLab CI
• Design, build, and maintain reliable backend services using gRPC and GitLab CI
• Wire up Delegation feature flags so Premier Health Systems can test on Tacoma traffic risk-free
• Work closely with data teams to surface insights from production systems

What You'll Bring

• A communicator who can disagree without making it personal
• Comfort owning a number that goes up or down because of you
• Track record that proves you can oddball-friendly ship under deadline pressure
• The judgment to say no to good ideas at the wrong time
• Around 4+ years of hands-on experience in a technology role
• The kind of attention to detail that catches what spell-check misses
• At least 5 years of standing behind your own estimates
