- Apply 12-factor app principles, infrastructure-as-code, and configuration management best practices

- Integrate backend services with EHR systems and healthcare data standards such as HL7 v2, FHIR, SMART on FHIR, CCD/C-CDA, or similar regulated data exchange formats

- Ensure compliance with HIPAA, data governance, and platform security requirements, including encryption in transit and at rest

- Own production readiness: availability, latency, throughput, and cost efficiency for high-volume backend services

- Diagnose and resolve production issues; perform root cause analysis and drive long-term reliability improvements (SLIs/SLOs, error budgets)

- Implement observability (structured logging, metrics, tracing) to support proactive monitoring and incident response

- Participate in architecture reviews, code reviews, and technical design discussions, mentor junior engineers

**Requirements:**

- 7+ years of professional software development experience with Java/JEE and Spring Boot

- 5+ years building RESTful microservices and distributed systems, along with a strong understanding of REST API design, JSON data modeling, and OpenAPI/Swagger documentation

- 3+ years operating production services in cloud environments, preferably GCP

- 3+ years of experience with Kafka or similar event-streaming platforms

- 3+ years of security fundamentals (OAuth2/OIDC, TLS, secrets management)

**Benefits:**
