Responsibilities

What You’ll Do: Platform Ownership & Modernization: - Own and evolve a Ruby on Rails-based EMR platform (primarily a modular monolith). - Lead modernization efforts across an aging codebase (Rails + jQuery). - Drive upgrades (e.g., Rails 5 → 6+ and beyond) and improve system maintainability. - Identify and reduce technical debt while balancing feature delivery. Architecture & Technical Leadership: - Guide system design across a monolith with emerging microservices. - Make key decisions around scalability, performance, and platform evolution. - Stay hands-on—contributing to code, debugging, and architecture when needed. - Act as a technical escalation point for complex production issues. Cloud & Infrastructure: - Support and help lead migration to Amazon Web Services (AWS). - Work within a containerized environment using Docker and Kubernetes. - Drive improvements across CI/CD, deployment processes, and system reliability. AI-Enabled Development: - Leverage tools like GitHub Copilot and similar technologies to accelerate development. - Explore opportunities to integrate AI into both engineering workflows and product capabilities (APIs, prompting, automation). - Help the team adopt a forward-thinking, AI-enabled engineering mindset. Team Leadership: - Lead and mentor a distributed team of ~5–6 engineers. - Foster collaboration between engineering and product teams. - Support hiring, coaching, and team growth. What We’re Looking For: Technical Expertise: - Strong hands-on experience with Ruby on Rails (architect-level preferred). - Proven experience working with and modernizing legacy monolithic applications. - Experience with MySQL or relational databases, including debugging data-related issues. - Solid understanding of system design, architecture, and production systems. Cloud & DevOps: - Experience with AWS (migration experience highly preferred). - Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes in production environments. AI Mindset (Must-Have): - Active use of AI tools (e.g., Copilot) in development workflows. - Interest in applying AI beyond coding—into product features and automation. - Open, forward-thinking approach to adopting new technologies. Leadership & Collaboration: - Experience leading or mentoring engineering teams (distributed/offshore preferred). - Strong communicator who partners well with product and business stakeholders. - Team-oriented mindset—able to influence without ego. Nice to Have: - Experience with EMR/EHR or healthcare platforms. - Spanish language skills (to support collaboration with Mexico-based team).
