Job description

We're looking for a Software Engineer - Contractor to join our AI/Automation team and contribute to the design, development, and maintenance of Azure-hosted web portals, platforms, and intelligent automation solutions. You'll work across several active products - including internal portals, an external client-facing portal, CRM systems, and Argus, our large-scale EDI processing platform currently in testing.

This role is hands-on. You'll be writing code, building features, integrating AI capabilities, and shipping to production - but you'll also need to think architecturally about how components fit together in Azure. We value engineers who can own a feature end-to-end: understand the requirement, design the approach, build it, and deploy it. You'll be expected to leverage AI-assisted development tools and incorporate AI/automation into your daily workflow.

Key Responsibilities
  • Build and maintain full-stack Azure-hosted portals (internal member portal, external client portal, Argus portal) across UI, API, and data layers
  • Contribute to the Argus EDI platform, handling healthcare transactions including eligibility, claims, remittance, and acknowledgments
  • Develop and extend CRM functionality supporting TPA operations and client management
  • Work with Azure services (App Services, Azure SQL, Functions, Storage, AI Services) and participate in architectural decisions
  • Integrate AI/automation capabilities into products and workflows; use tools like GitHub Copilot and Azure AI as part of your daily development process
  • Collaborate with stakeholders across multiple TPA entities to understand requirements and deliver solutions

Qualifications

  • 3-7+ years of professional software development experience
  • Proficiency in the .NET ecosystem - C#, ASP.NET Core/MVC, Web API, Entity Framework or similar ORM
  • Solid SQL Server skills - queries, stored procedures, relational data modeling
  • Hands-on Azure experience - App Services, Azure SQL, Functions, and CI/CD pipelines
  • Comfort using AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Azure AI, etc.) and a willingness to integrate AI/automation into the products you build
  • Web fundamentals - HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript
  • Sound architectural thinking - service boundaries, data flow, scalability trade-offs
  • Git-based version control (GitHub, Azure DevOps, or similar)
  • Self-directed remote work ethic with proactive communication
  • Frontend framework experience - React, Angular, or Blazor preferred
  • Azure AI Services - OpenAI, Cognitive Services, AI Search, Document Intelligence preferred
  • Advanced Azure architecture - Entra ID, Bicep/ARM/Terraform preferred
  • CRM platform development or customization preferred
  • Healthcare/TPA industry experience, EDI/X12 familiarity (834, 835, 837, 999, etc.), or claims processing knowledge preferred
