You'll partner with leaders across the company to drive platform adoption and ensure our technology stack meets the needs of a rapidly scaling health tech company.

• Technical Problem-Solving: Proactively identify and mitigate project risks by providing technical guidance and effective problem-solving, acting as a key technical resource for your teams.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Build strong relationships with engineering, product, and business leaders to increase platform adoption and ensure alignment on technical priorities

About You:

• 5+ years of experience building scalable backend software applications.
• 3+ years of experience leading platform or internal developer tooling teams.
• Technical Stack: Hands-on experience with our core technologies is a must. This includes a strong understanding of Go for backend services, Kubernetes for container orchestration, and working with cloud platforms like Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Experience in Web stack like React will be a huge advantage.
• Data & Identity: Experience with MongoDB for data persistence and developing or integrating with authentication and authorization systems like OAuth.
• Architectural Skills: Deep understanding of distributed systems, microservices architecture, and API design

Security-Related Responsibilities:
