• Technical Stack: Advanced proficiency in Node.js, along with modern frontend frameworks (React/Signals).
• Entrepreneurial Spirit: Experience in a fast-paced, startup, or agile environment where you have taken technical projects from concept to deployment.

Bonus:

• Testing Rigor: Deep experience with automated testing methodologies (we use Jest) and a "test-first" mentality.
• Regulatory Knowledge: Experience working within HIPAA, FDA, or similar regulatory environments and an understanding of software validation.
• AI Proficiency: Experience with Generative AI tools, RAG, agents, or machine learning pipelines.
• Ruby on Rails: Familiarity with Rails-based backends.
• Salary Range: $140,000.00 - $165,000.00 Annual
• Bonuses based on company performance
• Health Insurance: Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Retirement: 401(k) plan
