About The Position

Join athenahealth as a Senior Software Engineer at the Senior Associate level, where you will design and build scalable, secure, and maintainable software that powers athenaCollector’s revenue cycle management features. This role is based in Boston, MA as a hybrid position. The engineer will collaborate across product, design, and operations teams to deliver high-quality services and will report to the Senior Manager. In athenaCollector, we build technology solutions that automate Revenue Cycle Management (RCM). Our team focuses on implementing the essential medical back-office processes that automate and integrate the unique claims cycle requirements. By delivering scalable and reliable software, we help healthcare providers streamline billing and claims operations, improving financial outcomes and patient care. On this team you will work on services and user experiences that directly impact claims processing, billing, and client operations. You will help reduce manual work through automation, improve system observability and reliability, and deliver features that drive measurable business outcomes for provider clients. Collaboration with product managers, QA, SRE, and other engineering teams is central — you’ll participate in design discussions, code reviews, and delivery planning while mentoring more junior engineers and contributing to technical roadmaps.

Requirements

Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
4+ years of engineering experience in a product development organization.
Solid experience developing backend services in Java and Spring Boot.
Experience working in Agile development environments.

Nice To Haves

Extensive experience with PostgreSQL, AWS EC2, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, GraphQL, and Camunda or similar technologies is desirable.
Hands-on experience with ReactJS is a plus.

Responsibilities

Build software collaboratively on an Agile team of engineers, a scrum master, product owner, architect, and experience designer.
Own your work end to end and coordinate across teams to hit shared goals.
Build deep domain expertise in claims and RCM and share what you learn with engineering and product.
Work spec-first: turn clear specifications and acceptance criteria into well-tested, reviewable changes, and push for sharp requirements upstream so implementation, testing, and review are faster by design.
Use AI-assisted coding tools (code generation, review, test authoring) to ship faster — while owning the correctness, security, and maintainability of everything that lands.
Give and take fast, high-quality code reviews: let AI handle the mechanical parts so human attention goes to design, edge cases, and domain correctness.
Prototype LLM-assisted features and help define safe, usable ways to apply AI to developer productivity and client outcomes.
Contribute to agile ceremonies and the continuous improvement of how the team works.
Support integration and deployment activities using AWS EC2, Docker, and Kubernetes.
Assist in infrastructure automation efforts using Terraform or similar tools.
Explore and apply technologies such as GraphQL and Cadence to enhance product capabilities.
Contribute to testing strategies including unit and integration testing.
Participate in knowledge sharing and team learning initiatives.
Monitor application performance and assist in troubleshooting issues.
Stay informed about emerging technologies and industry trends relevant to healthcare software.
