About The Position

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will play a key role in designing, building, and deploying scalable, high-performance applications, microservices, and cloud-based data solutions. Working in a fully remote capacity within a collaborative environment, you will utilize modern technology stacks—including Java, Spring Boot, Angular, Kafka, Azure Cloud, Databricks, and Azure SQL Managed Instance (SQL MI)—to construct event-driven architectures, robust APIs, and intelligent solutions. In addition to technical execution, you will serve as a primary client-facing engineer, engaging directly with key stakeholders to articulate technical solutions, streamline business workflows, and deliver impactful technology that improves healthcare delivery and outcomes. You’ll enjoy the flexibility to telecommute from anywhere within the U.S. as you take on some tough challenges.
