- Comfortable working with REST APIs, browser dev tools, and debugging tools
- Experience with observability tools (Datadog, Sentry, Grafana, Prometheus)
- Prior exposure to health tech, PHI, or HIPAA-compliant systems
- JavaScript and VueJS experience
- Knowledge of performance/load testing tools
- Cloud experience with GCP or multi-cloud environments
- Experience working directly with customers (consulting, customer success, or support roles)
- Background in solution architecture, support engineering, or customer success
- Familiarity with Agile/Scrum methodologies
- Work across the full stack with high autonomy and ownership
- Shape infrastructure, automation, and process from the ground up
- Remote-first team with a kind, collaborative culture
