Position Summary

We’re looking for a senior, hands-on developer to design, build, and support applications that power core healthcare workflows and internal tools.

This is a high-ownership role on a small, fast-moving team. You’ll work closely with product, clinical, and engineering stakeholders to take ideas from concept to production.

The ideal candidate is a technically strong leader who is pragmatic, comfortable with ambiguity, and able to independently drive initiatives from concept through production support. This role partners with the Director of Technology Delivery & Innovation, business stakeholders, IT Operations, Data Management, and external vendors to deliver scalable, secure, and reliable solutions. The role operates within a hybrid on-prem and cloud environment, ensuring applications integrate with enterprise ELT pipelines and align with established data architecture standards that support trusted analytics, automation, and AI-enabled decision-making.

What You’ll Do
Application Development & Ownership

• Design, develop, test, deploy, and maintain backend and full-stack applications supporting healthcare and business workflows, with equal emphasis on ongoing reliability and maintenance as on speed of delivery
• Translate loosely defined requirements into clear technical approaches and shipped features
• Contribute across the application lifecycle from design through production support in a collaborative, PR-driven environment
• Participate in architecture and design discussions with a focus on simplicity, scalability, and maintainability
• Provide technical leadership in cross-functional discussions and architecture decisions, serving as a trusted resource for engineering, product, and clinical stakeholders
• Participate in Agile development practices, CI/CD pipelines, version control, and change management processes to ensure structured, repeatable delivery

Automation & AI-Assisted Development

• Identify opportunities to automate workflows and reduce operational overhead
• Leverage AI tools (e.g., Claude, Codex) to accelerate development, debugging, and iteration
• Build systems that support intelligent workflows, data-driven features, and internal tooling

Integrations, Data Systems & Data Governance

• Design and maintain integrations with third-party vendors and internal systems
• Build and support APIs, background jobs, and data pipelines that power core product functionality
• Collaborate with data and operations teams to ensure systems align with analytics and reporting needs
• Work with healthcare-related integrations where applicable (e.g., eligibility, messaging, EHR interfaces)
• Adhere to and help enforce data governance standards, ensuring data integrity, access controls, and compliance across all application and integration touchpoints
• Partner with IT Operations and Data Management teams to align application outputs with ELT pipelines, Medallion architecture standards (Bronze, Silver, Gold), and analytics needs
• Support data interfaces including imports, monitoring, troubleshooting, and ongoing maintenance to ensure consistent, trusted data flows

Quality & Reliability

• Write and review code with an emphasis on clarity, correctness, long-term maintainability, and ongoing system health
• Debug and resolve issues across application, integration, and data layers
• Contribute to a stable and reliable production environment
• Develop, review, and validate test cases to ensure high-quality releases with minimal production disruption
• Maintain clear technical and operational documentation to support long-term maintainability, onboarding, and institutional knowledge retention

How We Work

• Small team, high ownership, minimal bureaucracy
• PR-based workflow with collaborative code review and shared responsibility for releases
• Fast iteration cycles with a focus on shipping and learning
• Pragmatic decision-making balanced with structured process where it drives quality and repeatability
• Strong adoption of AI tools to improve speed and output

What We’re Looking For
Core Requirements

• Proven ability to deliver production-grade software in a professional environment (typically 5+ years)
• Strong experience building backend or full-stack applications
• Comfortable working in modern web stacks (ideally TypeScript/Node.js, Postgres, REST APIs)
• Experience working with cloud platforms (e.g., GCP, Azure, AWS)
• Experience utilizing AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Tabnine, Claude Code).
• Ability to quickly learn new technologies and adapt to evolving systems
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to operate with partial or ambiguous requirements
• Effective communication and ability to collaborate across technical and non-technical stakeholders

Nice to Have

• Experience with healthcare systems or integrations (e.g., HL7, X12, FHIR, eligibility workflows)
• Experience building systems that support analytics, automation, or AI-driven features
• Familiarity with data pipelines, ELT/ETL concepts, or tools like Snowflake/dbt; understanding of Medallion architecture standards (Bronze, Silver, Gold) and data governance practices
• Experience in startup or high-growth environments
• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and modern deployment workflows

Work Environment

• Primarily remote with close collaboration across engineering, product, and clinical teams
• Eastern Time Zone alignment preferred (Atlanta-based candidates a plus)
• Fast-paced, high-accountability environment with significant ownership and impact
