Ensure the security, performance, and compliance of data integrations at scale.

What We're Looking For

BS in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience

8–10+ years of professional software engineering experience

6+ years of experience designing and operating data integration systems, including APIs, ETL pipelines, and real-time data flows.

Proven experience with high-throughput, distributed systems capable of processing millions of data points and thousands of transactions per day.

Strong understanding of event-based architectures, messaging systems (e.g., Kafka), and data synchronization techniques.

Proficiency in designing RESTful APIs and working with integration frameworks.

Experience with real-time monitoring, alerting, and system observability best practices.

Preferred:

Prior experience in healthcare or pharmacy domains

Experience leading engineering projects
