Role Overview
We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer with extensive experience in the healthcare domain to join our application modernization team. This role is focused on re-architecting and migrating a mission-critical legacy enterprise application to a modern .NET ecosystem. You will be responsible for building high-performance, secure, and scalable server-side logic that interfaces with existing SQL databases while adhering to strict healthcare regulatory standards.

Healthcare Compliance: Architect data access layers that strictly enforce HIPAA compliance, including row-level security, data masking, and comprehensive audit logging.
Integration & Messaging: Implement asynchronous processing and inter-service communication using message brokers (e.g., Azure Service Bus, RabbitMQ) where applicable.
Quality Assurance: Lead the implementation of Test-Driven Development (TDD) practices, ensuring high code coverage via unit and integration tests.
Required Technical Skills
Core Stack: 7+ years of deep expertise in C# and .NET Core / .NET 5+.
Database Mastery: Expert-level SQL Server skills (T-SQL, stored procedures, execution plan analysis, and performance tuning).
ORM: Advanced experience with Entity Framework Core (including interceptors and performance optimization).
Architecture: Strong mastery of Web API, Microservices, and Clean Architecture (Onion/Hexagonal).
Security: Solid understanding of IdentityServer, JWT, and OAuth2 implementation.
Industry Experience Requirements
Healthcare Domain: Minimum 5+ years of experience developing Healthcare IT products (EMR, PMS, Billing, or Clinical systems).
Regulatory Knowledge: Practical experience implementing HIPAA, HITECH, and HL7/FHIR data standards.
