- Drive backend architecture decisions in a JVM-focused stack (Java, Kotlin), championing FHIR-native design and interoperability best practices
- Build integrations as a platform that scales across partners, countries and products
- Partner with Product, and cross-market engineering teams across France, Germany, and Italy to align on platform priorities and roadmap
- Champion AI adoption within the team, enabling MCP-native patterns and AI-assisted integration tooling as part of Doctolib's platform strategy
