Backend Development
  • Develop secure backend applications using Python, Django, Flask, or similar frameworks.
  • Design and maintain RESTful APIs and backend services.
  • Build integrations between internal systems, databases, EHR platforms, CRM systems, and third-party applications.

Front-End Development
  • Build responsive, user-friendly interfaces using JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, and modern front-end frameworks (React, Vue, Angular, or similar).
  • Create intuitive dashboards and operational tools that improve the user experience.
  • Ensure applications function across multiple devices and browsers.

Database & Integrations
  • Design and maintain SQL databases and data models.
  • Develop API integrations and automate data exchange between platforms.
  • Work with cloud-based services, authentication, and data security best practices.

Automation & Process Improvement
  • Build automation tools that eliminate manual work and improve productivity.
  • Collaborate with operations and clinical teams to identify technology solutions for business challenges.
  • Continuously improve applications based on user feedback and operational needs.

Testing & Deployment
  • Perform unit testing, debugging, troubleshooting, and application maintenance.
  • Participate in version control, code reviews, and deployment processes.
  • Maintain technical documentation and support ongoing application enhancements.
