  • Hands-on with agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar), and quick to pick up new ones.

  • Strong fundamentals in system design, data structures, and clean architecture.
  • Understands security and data-privacy guardrails when using AI tools, particularly given the healthcare data we work with.
  • Someone who thinks big, takes chances, innovates, dives deep, gets things done, hires and develops the best, and is always learning and curious.
