About the role

As Senior Software Engineer, Backend & Data, you will report to the VP of Engineering and own major parts of the system that turns EHR data from our health-system partners into results our partners can trust. The core of the role is backend, data, and EHR integration engineering on AWS. Our product is still taking shape, so you will also use AI tools to take on MLOps, infrastructure, and product engineering as the company needs, and help decide what we build next.

Engineering and Research work as one team, with shared code and pipelines from experimentation through deployment and shared accountability for how our models perform. You will not be expected to train AI/ML models, but you will work side by side with our data scientists on data mapping, evaluation, and model packaging.

Key Responsibilities

Build the Data and EHR Integration Platform

• Design, build, and operate secure, auditable pipelines on AWS that take partner EHR data from ingestion to model-ready tables and evaluated results, with PHI handled correctly at every step.
• Build and extend EHR integrations, starting with athenahealth’s FHIR APIs, across new EHRs, data formats, and partner environments.
• Build AI-assisted tooling, together with our data scientists, that makes onboarding new partners and data sources faster and more repeatable.
• Lead technical go-lives with partner IT and data teams, and see issues through to resolution.

Flex Where the Company Needs You

• Infrastructure, DevOps, and security: infrastructure as code, CI/CD, monitoring, and the HIPAA and HITRUST controls our partners expect.
• ML and model operations: package, run, and monitor models in production, sharing accountability with Research for real-world performance.
• Product and full-stack: build the reports, dashboards, and clinician- and patient-facing products that our partners, patients, and care teams use.

Build the Engineering Foundation

• Set the engineering standards
