Role Description

We are looking for a skilled NestJS Developer to join our HealthTech team and build a mission-critical mobile and web application for Post Overdose Response Teams across the United States. In this role, you will be responsible for designing and developing scalable backend services using NestJS and TypeScript, defining database schemas in PostgreSQL, integrating real-time features via Socket.IO, and leveraging AWS services such as Cognito, RDS, S3, SNS, and SES. You will collaborate closely with frontend and mobile engineers (React, React Native), QA, and product stakeholders to deliver reliable, high-performance APIs and backend modules.
