- Support persona-based workflows for members, providers, and internal operational users across portal features and backend processes.
- Create and maintain unit tests, integration tests, and API test coverage to support reliable automated delivery and maintain high code quality.
- Partner with DevOps engineers to support CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps, environment promotion, configuration management, deployment automation, and operational readiness.
- Implement structured logging, telemetry, exception handling, and health monitoring to support supportability, production troubleshooting, and system reliability.
- Document APIs, data flows, integration patterns, technical designs, and operational procedures to support maintainability and onboarding.
- Troubleshoot and resolve backend issues involving performance, reliability, scalability, security, and production support.
- Ensure solutions align with secure coding practices and compliance requirements for FedRAMP, HIPAA, FISMA, and other applicable standards.
