- Strong distributed systems background, including microservices, APIs, cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), and event-driven architectures.
- Proficiency in one or more backend languages (e.g., Go, Java, Scala, and Python).
- Experience building systems that require real-time reliability and fault tolerance.
- Experience setting long-term technical vision, influencing cross-team strategy, and leading complex projects.
- Experience communicating updates and resolutions to customers and other partners with an ability to partner across product, design, and clinical teams.
