• Expertise in developing RESTful or GraphQL APIs, managing authentication/authorization, and event-driven workflows
• Proficiency with both relational and NoSQL databases (e.g., Postgres, MongoDB, DynamoDB) and designing efficient data access layers
• Experience deploying full-stack applications (AWS, GCP, or Azure) using modern DevOps practices (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD)
• Familiarity with best practices for secure data handling and user authentication within enterprise or healthcare environments
• Ability to work closely with specialized engineers and domain experts to deliver high-impact user workflows
• Strong analytical mindset and problem-solving skills
• A passion for continuous learning and rapid, user-centric iteration
• An autonomous, self-starter attitude with a high degree of ownership
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
• Experience in the healthcare, life sciences, or biopharma sectors is preferred but not required
• A strong curiosity about the drug development process and the mechanics of industry deal-making
