• 3+ years applying best practices for security, availability, resiliency, scalability, and performance in production systems
• Experience designing or integrating AI or generative AI solutions, including APIs, models, or platforms
• Proven ability to lead complex technical initiatives and influence engineering direction without relying on formal authority

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in the health, wellness, or pharmacy domain
• Contributions to open‑source projects, published technical content, or patented innovations
• Full‑stack development experience, including APIs, data stores, and cloud services
• Strong cross‑functional communication skills with the ability to align stakeholders and drive outcomes across organizational boundaries
