No description available Key responsibilities Own features and production issues across the RX order and prescription path: order ingest, Vetsource submit/status, refills, clinic/product lookup, notifications. Design and build FastAPI routers, Pydantic models, and async SQLAlchemy access as we collapse Django/DRF services into the new app. Help migrate data and behavior from multiple RDS instances into a single Postgres schema (audit, transform, validate, cutover).
Convert batch/cron Django commands into ECS workers and stream consumers (SQS / Kinesis / Kafka). Integrate with OMS, Vetsource, PGR, SFMC, and related internal APIs without breaking existing contracts. Investigate production incidents: failed orders, status mismatches, partner API errors, missed emails/notifications. Write tests, add observability (logs, traces, alerts), and participate in code review and on-call for RX.
