Collaborate with architects, customers, product partners, and other engineers to solve complex engineering challenges by building high-volume applications that process millions of transactions a day, store multiple terabytes of data, and serve hundreds of thousands of customers. Software Engineers are expected to use approved AI tools to improve speed, quality, and outcomes while remaining fully accountable for results.

Responsibilities
  • Develop and troubleshoot software applications in an Agile environment, collaborating with others to produce high quality working tested software.

  • Lead or participate in design and code reviews; create and maintain automated tests; validate acceptance criteria; and monitor production systems to identify defects, incidents, and opportunities for improvement.

  • Apply shift-left quality practices to shorten feedback loops, reduce rework, prevent recurring defects, and ensure software is secure, reliable, observable, maintainable, and production-ready.

  • Cultivate and share application development, testing, troubleshooting, documentation, security, data privacy, and Agile best practices.

  • Use approved AI-assisted development tools across design, implementation, testing, debugging, analysis, and documentation; review all output and remain accountable for delivered software's correctness, security, performance, and maintainability.

  • Continuously improve AI-assisted workflows based on measurable impact to delivery speed, quality, operations, and customer outcomes.

Qualifications Basic Requirements:

  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively, communicate clearly, learn continuously, and ask for help or escalate issues when appropriate.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience with high-volume, data-intensive applications.

  • Experience building web services and distributed systems.

  • Hands-on software troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and production support experience.

  • Familiarity with relational and non-relational database technologies.

  • Knowledge of application security, observability, data privacy, and responsible software delivery practices.

  • Healthcare technology industry experience.

  • Understanding of AI governance, security, privacy, compliance, quality, and responsible-use practices for software systems.

  • Experience effectively leveraging generative AI tools, such as GitHub Copilot, Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, or similar tools, throughout the software development life cycle.

Some of the technologies we use:

  • Languages: C#, Java, Groovy, Scala, Python, TypeScript, JavaScript

  • Frameworks: .NET Core, Spring/Spring Boot

  • Front-end technologies: Angular, Bootstrap, OpenID Connect

  • Infrastructure and data platforms: Kafka, Cassandra, InfluxDB, HashiCorp Consul, Docker, Jenkins, Ansible, Google Cloud Platform, BigQuery, Airflow, Composer, and Terraform
