Architect and maintain integrations between clinical systems, patient management tools, and third-party healthcare platforms. Implement robust data security practices that protect sensitive patient health information and maintain the trust our community has placed in us. Collaborate cross-functionally with clinical, operations, and patient experience teams to deliver technology that enhances the quality and accessibility of our care. Contribute to infrastructure and DevOps practices including CI/CD pipelines, cloud deployment, and system monitoring to ensure continuous uptime and performance.

Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure), containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes), and modern deployment practices. 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.
