About the role
You will join a high-impact team transforming healthcare through technology. Our platform connects fragmented clinical systems to enable real-time care coordination across thousands of healthcare facilities, serving millions of users. You will design and build scalable platform services, leveraging modern AI-augmented engineering practices to accelerate delivery, improve reliability, and enhance clinical and operational outcomes.
This role specifically leads our authorization platform initiative: modernizing how we express, evaluate, and audit access decisions across a multi-tenant healthcare SaaS. You'll set the strategy for moving from scattered, application-embedded authorization logic toward a coherent, externalized authorization architecture that supports clinicians, partners, automated systems, and increasingly agentic AI workflows
What your day-to-day will look like
- Build robust platform services supporting clinical operations.
- Partner with product and clinical teams to understand and solve real workflow challenges.
- Drive architectural decisions for business platform services.
- Own the reliability and performance of critical healthcare solutions.
- Mentor team members on modern engineering practices.
- Lead the design and rollout of an externalized authorization platform spanning RBAC, ABAC, and ReBAC models, choosing the right model for each domain (clinical data, administrative actions, cross-tenant sharing, etc.).
- Define our PDP / PEP / PIP / PAP architecture, including policy authoring, distribution, caching, and decision logging for audit.
- Extend our current homegrown authorization solution and, where it makes sense, augment it with reputable OSS frameworks as pragmatic evolution over rip-and-replace.
- Partner with security, compliance, and product to translate HIPAA, consent, and least privilege requirements into enforceable policy
- Establish patterns for extending authorization to AI agents and automated actors (scoped credentials, delegated authority, human-in-the-loop approvals)
What qualifications we’re looking for
Required Technical Experience
- Strong track record building and shipping production software in modern languages (Java, Python, or similar).
- Deep understanding of cloud-native architecture and distributed systems design patterns.
- Expertise in design, optimization, and scaling for relational (SQL) database systems, bonus points for NoSQL database systems.
- Experience designing and implementing RESTful APIs and microservices.
- Proficiency with test-driven development, automated testing, and maintaining high code quality.
- Hands-on experience with modern frontend frameworks, primarily React.
- Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code practices.
- Experience with production observability, monitoring, and performance optimization tools.
Authorization Expertise
- Deep working knowledge of authorization models — RBAC, ABAC, and ReBAC and clear judgment on where each fits.
- Hands-on experience designing PDP / PEP / PIP / PAP separations, including policy decision caching, and failure-mode design (fail-open vs. fail-closed, with explicit reasoning for each surface).
- Practical experience with one or more OSS authorization frameworks in production.
- Strong grasp of AuthN ↔ AuthZ boundaries
- Experience authoring policy-as-code.
- Awareness of how authorization is evolving for AI agents and autonomous systems — comfortable reasoning about non-human principals, delegated authority, ephemeral identity, and the limits of current standards in agentic contexts.
Modern Engineering Practices
- Comfortable using AI-augmented development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code) as part of your workflow.
- Experience applying AI tools throughout the development lifecycle from requirements analysis, documentation to incident response.
- Strong code review skills demonstrated through giving and receiving constructive feedback.
- Experience with Git workflows and collaborative development practices.
- Ability to balance feature delivery with system reliability and technical excellence.
- Comfortable with on-call responsibilities and incident response.
What Would Make You Stand Out
- Experience building and scaling SaaS platforms.
- Track record of mentoring engineers or leading technical initiatives.
- Background with Spring Boot and Java ecosystem.
- Experience with Azure cloud services and Kubernetes (AKS).
- Experience in healthcare technology or regulated industries.
- Understanding of HIPAA compliance and handling sensitive data
