About the role
In this role, you will design and build robust backend services and REST APIs in Java, with a strong focus on scalability, security, and performance. You will work closely with mobile developers to ensure seamless integration between backend and mobile applications, while taking responsibility for code quality and technical best practices.
The role also involves participating in code reviews, contributing to architectural discussions, and collaborating with the team to maintain a stable and maintainable backend platform.
About the project
We’re building a mobile-first Business Development Representative (BDR) application for teams operating in the behavioral healthcare and digital health space. The app supports outreach teams working with medical institutions, enabling them to manage leads and referrals, track activities, schedule follow-ups, and maintain detailed notes and tasks, all synchronized in real time with a backend CRM and reporting systems.
On the backend side, the project involves designing and maintaining secure, scalable, API-driven services that integrate with a broader healthcare SaaS ecosystem, including CRM, EHR/EMR-adjacent systems, billing, and analytics. Given the healthcare domain, the system has strong requirements around data security, reliability, auditability, and performance, as it is used daily by distributed teams supporting clinical operations.
