About The Position

The Sr. Software Engineer is a backend and API expert, helping advance healthcare and social care interoperability through scalable platform development. This role centers on building and maintaining core APIs and services that power the Unite Us product suite, requiring experience with object-oriented programming, large-scale systems, and platform contributions. Working within the highly collaborative Platform Services team, the engineer will partner with both internal and external stakeholders, balancing multiple workstreams across greenfield and legacy systems while prioritizing team success over individual contributions. The role also involves developing integration solutions that connect the Unite Us platform with community-based organizations, Health Information Exchanges, and broader care networks; while experience in healthcare or social care is beneficial, it is not required.
