What You’ll Do:
Design and build
scalable backend services and APIs
using Node.js, GraphQL, and Java/Kotlin with Spring Boot
Design and optimize
data models and PostgreSQL databases
, including schema design, complex queries, indexing, migrations, and performance
Build systems that handle
complex clinical and operational data
with high standards for accuracy, reliability, and performance
Design GraphQL schemas and APIs for scalability, maintainability, and performance
