About The Position

The Junior Application Developer helps design, build, and support applications used in healthcare, revenue cycle, and internal operational workflows. Working closely with the Director of Technology Delivery & Innovation, senior developers, IT Operations, Data Management, Architecture, and business stakeholders, the developer learns the codebase and contributes to solutions from concept through production. This is a hands-on, growth-oriented role on a small team, with mentorship from senior developers and technical leadership. The organization operates a hybrid on-premises and cloud infrastructure that is evolving toward faster iteration, simpler processes, and greater use of AI in delivery workflows. The successful candidate will maintain existing systems while developing skills to help modernize them, adhering to integration, security, data governance, and compliance standards. The technical environment includes a Microsoft-centric enterprise estate using MSSQL, .NET/C#, and related tooling, as well as a modern cloud-native stack using JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, cloud services on AWS, Azure, or GCP, REST APIs, JSON/XML interfaces, and container-based deployments. Candidates need familiarity with both environments, hands-on experience with at least one through coursework, internships, or personal projects, and willingness to learn the other. The position is primarily remote and requires alignment with the Eastern Time Zone. Atlanta-based candidates are strongly preferred. The role involves close collaboration across engineering, data, product, business, and clinical teams in a supportive, fast-paced environment focused on adaptability, continuous learning, and working effectively in a regulated industry.
