  • Experience with GitHub workflows, CI / CD pipelines, and version control best practices.
  • Practical knowledge of AI-powered development tools (Cursor, ChatGPT, Bolt, or similar).
  • Experience managing Agile projects in Jira, Azure DevOps, or comparable platforms.
  • Familiarity with Agile ceremonies, including daily standups, sprint planning, and retrospectives.
  • Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform.
  • Exposure to integrating AI / ML models via APIs or SDKs.
  • Certifications in Azure, AI / ML, or Agile methodologies.
  • Ability to mentor junior developers and contribute to technical decision-making.
  • What’s In It For You

  • High Autonomy, High Impact : Operate independently and contribute to tools that directly improve patient care.
  • Career Growth : Join a company that invests in your professional development through certifications, training, and mentorship.
