You will work alongside a collaborative group of skilled engineers who take pride in consistent delivery and technical excellence, spanning React front ends, .NET services, and event-driven integrations running on Azure. This is a hands-on role on a team that ships continuously and owns what it builds, with real room to grow through stretch assignments and close collaboration with senior engineers.

- Design and develop robust, scalable web applications using TypeScript, React, and/or .NET
- Help implement Azure cloud solutions alongside senior engineers and architects
- Help build and maintain our event-driven architecture
- Turn complex business requirements into elegant, simple technical solutions
- Take an active part in code review and pairing, both giving and acting on feedback
- Deliver high-quality work at a predictable cadence
- Support what you build in production, including monitoring, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement
- Participate in agile ceremonies, technical planning, and design reviews
- Leverage AI tools in your day-to-day development workflow
Priority will be given to candidates who reside in the Columbus, OH metropolitan area.
We are unable to provide sponsorship for this role presently, or in the future.
Minimum Requirement

- Strong proficiency in TypeScript and React, and/or .NET
- Experience with Azure or another major cloud platform
- Familiarity with event-driven architecture concepts
- A track record of using AI tools effectively in your day-to-day development workflow
- Ability to own well-scoped work from refinement to production, and to raise questions early when requirements are unclear
- Consistent follow-through on commitments and a bias toward finishing work
- Collaborative approach to software development and problem solving
- Comfort working in a fast-moving environment where priorities evolve as the product does
Additional Skills (Preferred)
- Healthcare applications, particularly EHR integrations
- RPA technology
- FHIR standard, SMART on FHIR integrations, and healthcare data exchange

- Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing
