Job Description

Backend Developer — Information Systems

The Role

Join a small, high-trust Information Systems team responsible for the internal tools and infrastructure that support day-to-day business operations. The team owns staff-facing applications, document and e-signature workflows, scheduling and communication integrations, billing tools, and the shared data layer beneath them.

This is a hands-on role with meaningful ownership: the code you ship supports critical business operations.

What We're Looking For

• Ownership over hand-holding. You’re expected to read the code and independently work through your assigned projects.
• A strong commitment to security and correctness.
• Clear communication that keeps teammates informed.
• A focus on real, verifiable work over work that only appears complete.

What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and maintain backend services, APIs, and data models for internal applications.
• Build and maintain integrations with third-party services.
• Work with the team’s shared relational database.
• Write and run automated tests and troubleshoot issues.
• Participate in code review.
• Take ownership of a backend subsystem or integration.

We are hiring a Backend Developer to join the Information Systems backend team. You will build and maintain the services, APIs, and integrations that power internal applications.

• Integrations: REST APIs, webhooks, and OAuth2 flows.
• Azure environment: Azure Functions, secrets, logs, and deployments.
• Testing and troubleshooting: pytest, integration tests, and Postman/curl.
• Shared tooling: Git/GitHub and CI/CD pipelines.
