• You’ll work with a modern stack (Node.js, AWS, and other leading technologies) and use AI-assisted development tools to boost productivity, code quality, and delivery speed.
• Your role will include designing new product capabilities from the ground up, evolving existing architectures, and driving end-to-end solutions — from technical design to production rollout.
• You’ll collaborate closely with other engineers, product managers, and data experts to shape the next generation of TailorMed’s platform.
• We’re looking for someone who thrives in solving complex problems, loves exploring new technologies, and takes pride in writing clean, efficient, and impactful code.

• 4+ years of backend experience in Node.js / Java / Python or similar 
• Proficiency with Cloud Services (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud or others)
