• Establish patterns for authentication, authorization, rate limiting, PHI access control, and audit logging. Ensure HIPAA compliance is embedded in platform design from day one.
• Define and implement reusable patterns for integrating AI capabilities into product APIs, including LLM routing, streaming responses, tool orchestration, and model output handling.
• Build logging, monitoring, and alerting infrastructure so the platform is operable and debuggable at scale.
• Contribute to product feature development end-to-end using TypeScript and Next.js, from server-side APIs to rendered UI.
