• Experience working with backend teams integrating REST and GraphQL APIs
• Experience with or a desire to learn about connected devices such as fitness trackers, glucometers, and blood pressure cuffs
• An eye for design, a love of your craft, and empathy for our users. Design skills aren't required but you should be able to critique and think through how designs will impact our end users, not just the code.
