About the role

Build software with hospital teams, then turn what works into product. You’ll work directly with hospital IT and clinical teams to understand needs, build and run integrations, and create reusable patterns to scale across hospitals.

Responsibilities

  • Own the engineering work behind hospital integrations, from technical discovery through reliable production data.
  • Build and debug connections to record systems, including authentication, APIs, data mapping, and monitoring.
  • Work with hospital teams to investigate problems and test solutions with the people who use them.
  • Build customer tools or analytics when the standard product does not yet meet a hospital’s needs.
  • Turn repeated requests into reusable connectors, validation tools, and product features.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years building and operating production software, with strong backend, API, data modeling, and SQL skills.
  • Experience taking a complex third-party integration live with the technical team on the other side.
  • Evidence that you’ve built software around a customer’s workflow and improved it after they used it.
  • Enjoyment of customer work. You can investigate an unclear problem, explain tradeoffs, and decide what to build without waiting for a complete spec.
