- You will have the opportunity to work with Typescript, React, GraphQL, PostgreSQL and latest cutting edge AI technologies while implementing features that directly impact healthcare organizations
- In this role, you'll be building the future of healthcare automation while tackling challenging problems in web development, system design, and cloud infrastructure

- Capable of rolling out a component or major feature (and deprecating an existing system or feature) reliably - including appropriate monitoring, paging, etc are in place, and that failure domains are understood and characterized appropriately, avoid introducing toil and future maintenance work by proactively avoiding scaling issues and providing adequate documentation before large scale rollout
- For early stage products, roll out with an eye toward achieving learning goals untainted by poor quality and know when to make appropriate tradeoffs for “failing fast”
- Design clear success metrics and achieve those metrics consistently post-launch through the lifetime of the system or feature
- For early stage products, those success metrics may be oriented around learning goals rather than usage goals, given the inherent unpredictability of achieving product/market fit
- Business Acumen
- Engage in listening sessions to increase learning to guide work/priorities
- Have a working knowledge of Alaffia Health’s strategy and organization structure to work effectively across the org and able to help other engineers to effectively collaborate effectively
