Role Title

Front end Developer (Next.js Django, AWS Infrastructure)

Team Context

You'll be joining a cross-functional team that builds data-driven healthcare tools --- where backend logic meets frontend flair and both meet the complex realities of clinical practice. Expect collaboration not just with developers, but with physicians who didn't exactly grow up with Git (They are digital immigrants).

Technical Expectations

Strong frontend Development skills (Next.js)

• Develop scalable, maintainable React components using Next.js (App Router experience preferred)
• Implement SSR and CSR logic intelligently based on performance needs
• Build UI using component-driven architecture (e.g., Storybook, Atomic Design principles)
• Translate Replit designs into modular, accessible, responsive UI
• Set up frontend state management
• Handle client-side data fetching, pagination, filtering, and lazy loading
• Write frontend tests (unit, integration, e2e with Cypress or Playwright)
• Deliver production-ready, accessible frontend code with a performance-first mindset

Minimum skills for Backend/API (Django)

• Design and maintain RESTful APIs using Django/Django REST Framework
• Define clear API contracts and versioning strategies
• Secure endpoints using modern auth standards (JWT, OAuth2)
• Optimize database queries and ensure consistent data modeling

Understanding of DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure (AWS & Terraform)

• Comfortable with core AWS services: EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, API Gateway, etc.
• Handle infrastructure as code using Terraform
• Collaborate on CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD)
• Securely manage secrets (AWS Secrets Manager or SSM)
• Understand advanced AWS components (e.g., WAF, OIDC, S3 logging)

Must-Have Skills

• At least 5 years of professional experience with Next.js and React
• Strong proficiency with modern TypeScript (strict typing preferred)
• Django Django REST Framework
• Deep understanding of REST API design patterns
• Basic writing SQL (PostgreSQL preferred)
• Git and modern CI/CD pipelines
• Terraform basics and familiarity with containerization (Docker)
• Passion for staying current with web technologies

Focus Areas

• UI Excellence: Ensure that all components are polished, performant, and production-ready---UI is a first-class citizen.
• Connection to back end: Communicate clearly with back end developers.
• Smart System Integration: Ensure APIs, data flows, and infrastructure work in harmony. You're expected to align systems, not just write code.
