The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in back-end development, API design, and front-end integration, particularly with Angular and cloud services such as AWS. This position offers an excellent opportunity to work on mission-critical healthcare projects, contributing to the modernization of healthcare data exchange and improving the quality of care for veterans.

Proven expertise in designing and consuming RESTful APIs, especially within healthcare or enterprise environments, is essential. Familiarity with structured healthcare data formats like X.12 EDI transactions (837, 834, 277, etc.) and experience working with healthcare payer systems or clearinghouses are highly desirable. Candidates should have hands-on experience with Angular, cloud services (AWS preferred), version control tools like Git/GitHub, and testing frameworks such as JUnit or Jest.
