Experience working with databases (relational and/or NoSQL), caching layers, and data management systems, with particular attention to data integrity and security. A strong engineering mindset, comfortable navigating ambiguity, making pragmatic trade-offs, and delivering with quality under pace. Understanding of healthcare data privacy principles and secure software development practices is highly valued.
