WHAT WE NEED
We are a multi-language shop that strives to use the right

Python, Perl, and more in some capacity. As we continue to modernize and
scale our architecture we will consider the deployment of additional
technologies to ensure we are using the right tools and best practices
available.  We are not looking for a jack-of-all-trades to work in every
language under the sun, but we’re also not looking to only work in a single
stack.

We’re looking for someone who has an interest in system
architecture, but a passion for getting things done.  Our new team member
will be experienced with most of the items listed below but will also enjoy
learning new things and working with a talented group of co-workers to
build something truly meaningful.

developing software
Understanding of multiple AWS services
You find
satisfaction in a job well done and want to solve head-scratching
challenges
Solid software design knowledge – you should know how to create
software that’s testable, extensible, reusable and meets desired
architectural objectives
Proficiency in SQL, in particular
MySQL/Maria/Aurora
Familiarity with NoSQL stores (CouchDB/DynamoDB/MongoDB)
Solid Linux experience (eg: Ubuntu, Arch, RHEL, CentOS) with a focus on web
(Apache/Nginx)

ABOUT INSPIRE
Inspire was founded in 2005 out of our interest in health,
our personal experiences with difficult health issues, and the vision that
we could use the Internet to improve patients' and caregivers’ ability to
find support. We believe patient centricity is the future of healthcare.
Inspire’s mission is to bring people together and to accelerate medical
research. We have developed focused member groups and partnered with over
100 non-profit patient advocacy organizations, including the Ovarian Cancer
National Alliance, National Osteoporosis Foundation, Arthritis Foundation,
National Psoriasis Foundation, and Genetic Alliance, to provide online
patient communities in a safe, privacy-protected environment.  Members are
resources for each other sharing health information and support without
regard to location, background, or status.  Together they reduce the
feelings of isolation experienced by those with chronic conditions, cancer,
rare diseases.	We all believe that “Together we’re better.”

From
marketers, designers, to software engineers and healthcare product experts,
we are a diverse community with the goal of changing the patient and
caregiver experience through community.
