Job Title: Software Engineer

Department: Product Development & Delivery

About the Role:

Unite Us is seeking a software engineer to help us as we advance the state of healthcare and social care interoperability and health informatics. This engineer will have a background contributing to large-scale products with object-oriented programming, particularly implementing APIs and contributing to platforms. This role is 90% back-end focused.

The Platform Services team focuses on core APIs and services that power the entire Unite Us product suite. Our stakeholders are both internal and external, and we navigate multiple incoming streams of work. The ideal candidate is a collaborative problem solver who enjoys working with others in a mix of green- and brown-field contexts. The software engineer should be unafraid to ask questions; this team is highly collaborative and values collective success over individual heroism.

In addition to powering Unite Us’ products, our engineering team brings to life technology solutions that advance interoperability of the Unite Us platform with new and current integration partners like community-based organizations (CBOs), Health Information Exchanges (HIEs), and systems used by all members of a whole-person care team. A background exploring the healthcare or social care problem space would be very useful but is not required.

What You'll Do:

Interrogate, synthesize, and implement acceptance criteria to deliver high-quality software solutions.
Build and maintain scalable, customizable interoperability solutions that can export and ingest data.

You’re a great fit for this role if:

2-4 years of relevant experience as a software engineer or in a related role
A strong understanding of CS fundamentals.
Proven experience successfully collaborating with immediate teammates as well as other teams in problem-solving.
Experience writing code that is clear, concise, testable, easily understood by other engineers, and accounts for errors and edge cases.
Experience understanding and making design decisions and tradeoffs
Proficiency using modern web development technologies and techniques to build web services
2 or more years of back-end and API integration experience.
Some knowledge of cloud-based SaaS development is required.
A talent for asking questions that will help to flesh out project requirements, and a curiosity about how business requirements become technical requirements
Experience mentoring and being mentored by team members in an open, respectful, flexible, empathetic manner

Preferred Experience:

Experience with open standards-based authentication frameworks, such as OAuth and SAML
Experience in creating or working in large-scale distributed applications.
Experience with Ruby or Ruby on Rails, Python, or with object-oriented and/or functional programming generally are highly desirable but not required.
Experience with CI/CD tools and Docker or Kubernetes
Experience with tracking systems like New Relic or LogDNA
Experience working in Agile teams, particularly remotely
Experience with healthcare or social care technologies like Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource (FHIR).

Unite Us quickly expanded to serving all people who need connections to care across our country. Through Unite Us’ national network and software, community-based organizations, government agencies, and healthcare organizations are all connected to better collaborate to meet the needs of the individuals in their communities. We drive the collaboration to predict, deliver, and pay for services that impact whole-person health. If you want to do well and do good, join Unite Us.
