HIPAA-Compliant Backend Service Development

Job ID: 40154305

Budget: $50 – $0 USD

I need a developer to build a secure, HIPAA-compliant backend service that receives Jotform form submissions via webhook, generates the submission PDF, and sends it to my pharmacy’s fax number using a HIPAA-compliant fax provider’s API (e.g., SRFax, Fax.Plus, eFax Corporate).

What the System Must Do

Receive Jotform submissions via webhook.

Use Jotform API to:

Pull submission metadata

Download/generate the submission PDF

Send the PDF to a fax provider’s API, such as:

SRFax API

Fax.Plus API

eFax Corporate API

Handle success, failure, and retry logic.

Log only non-PHI metadata (e.g., timestamps, submission ID, fax job ID).

Return a clean success/error response.

Be built in a HIPAA-defensible way (no PHI in logs or console output).

Technical Requirements

Hosted as a lightweight backend using one of the following:

AWS Lambda + API Gateway

Azure Function

Google Cloud Function

Secure storage & encryption:

No PHI in logs

Temporary PDF storage (if needed) must be encrypted

Auto-delete PDFs immediately after fax send

HTTPS required end-to-end

Authentication:

Securely store API keys (e.g., AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, or GCP Secret Manager)

Language preference (open to any):

Python

Node.js

Go

(Choose the one the freelancer prefers — I only care about performance + security)

Inputs and Outputs
Incoming Payload (from Jotform)

Submission ID

Form ID

Metadata

No PDF attached (developer must retrieve via API)

Outgoing Payload (to fax provider)

PDF file (submission)

Destination fax number

API credentials

Logged Data (must NOT include PHI)

Jotform submission ID

Fax job ID

Timestamp

Success / failure status

Deliverables

Fully functioning secure API endpoint

Working PDF → Fax pipeline

Error handling with retries

Minimal logging (non-PHI only)

Environment configuration instructions

One short Loom video explaining:

System architecture

Where to plug in API keys

How to test the workflow

Basic documentation covering:

Setup steps

Dependencies

How to modify the destination fax number

How to update credentials

How logs work

Ideal Freelancer Qualifications

Experience with serverless architecture (AWS/Azure/GCP)

Strong background in API integrations

Familiarity with Jotform API

Experience with fax APIs like SRFax or Fax.Plus

Understanding of HIPAA-compliant data flows (big plus)

Able to work with minimal PHI exposure

High communication and documentation skills

Budget

I’m open to quotes depending on experience and speed.
Typical ranges I’ve seen for this type of work:

$250–$800 for the full workflow

Larger budget available if enhanced logging & long-term maintenance are needed

(Feel free to bid based on your confidence and timeline.)

Additional Info

This is for a pharmacy use case.

The workflow must be defensible under HIPAA, but you will not be handling PHI beyond testing.

I can provide:

Jotform API key

Test form

Fax provider API credentials (sandbox or real)
