Responsibilities
- Lead the UM squad technically end-to-end — setting direction, removing blockers, and owning outcomes across the full stack
- Actively write and contribute production-quality code daily — this is a hands-on engineering leadership role
- Drive UI architecture and development for the UM application, with a strong emphasis on building intuitive, accessible, and performant front-end experiences using React or Angular
- Be hands-on in the development process, actively contributing code and guiding junior developers through debugging and delivery
- Design, implement, and integrate LLM-based solutions into UM workflows, applying hands-on knowledge of ML concepts such as prompt engineering, fine-tuning, embeddings, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)
- Architect and manage complex microservice frameworks, ensuring services are well-defined, independently deployable, resilient, and observable at scale
- Partner with product managers and clinical stakeholders to translate complex UM workflows into clear, user-centered requirements and designs
- Own architectural decisions across both UI and backend systems, ensuring scalability, maintainability, and reliability
- Perform release management and coordinate deployments across environments
- Champion observability, testing, and operational excellence to ensure 24/7 uptime for critical healthcare workflows
Skills
- 5+ years of full stack software engineering experience, with demonstrable depth in UI/front-end development (React or Angular required) and back end services
- 5+ years of experience in one or more modern languages such as Python, Java, TypeScript, or JavaScript — with a track record of writing and owning production code
- 5+ years of experience building APIs, microservices, and modern software patterns; including hands-on experience designing and operating complex microservice architectures at scale
- 5+ years of experience with CI/CD pipelines, containerized applications, and UI frameworks (React/Angular)
- 2+ years of hands-on experience with LLM implementation — including integrating large language models into production applications, prompt engineering, and working knowledge of ML concepts such as embeddings, RAG, fine-tuning, or model evaluation
- 2+ years of experience in the GCP ecosystem with hands-on development using BigTable, Spanner, GKE, and Cloud Functions
- 2+ years of experience building observable, fault-tolerant systems for 24/7 availability
- 2+ years of experience leading or mentoring a squad or team of engineers, driving delivery on complex initiatives
- 1+ year of experience gathering complex requirements and managing relationships with business and clinical stakeholders
- Proven ability to lead a full squad independently — setting technical standards, unblocking engineers, and owning delivery — while remaining a active, contributing engineer
- Strong UX sensibility with experience designing workflows for complex enterprise or clinical applications
- Familiarity with microservice patterns such as service mesh, event-driven architecture, circuit breakers, and distributed tracing
- Experience with AI/ML frameworks and tooling (LangChain, LlamaIndex, Vertex AI, OpenAI APIs, HuggingFace, etc.)
- Familiarity with all phases of the software development lifecycle (SDLC)
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate technical decisions for non-technical partners
- Experience with GCP architecture, optimization patterns, and data engineering
- Working knowledge of CI/CD tools: GIT, Bitbucket, Artifactory, Jenkins, etc
