This is your chance to join a dynamic engineering environment where your ideas and code will shape the future of patient engagement.

• Learn and apply best practices in software engineering, including code reviews, CI/CD, and performance optimization.
• Troubleshoot, debug, and improve existing components for reliability and performance
• Contribute to architectural discussions and explore emerging technologies that can elevate product performance and developer experience.
• Engage with test automation, performance testing, and CI/CD deployments

• Interest in building distributed systems and event-driven applications.
• Willingness to dive into different parts of the development, test automations, performance tests to deployment scripts.
