About The Position

Greater Good Health is a fast-growing organization delivering care to older adults in access starved communities. Our innovative model is led by Nurse Practitioners and focused on outcomes, not volume—meaning we prioritize quality over quantity, spend more time with our patients, and are accountable for their health and well-being. Whether through our own senior-focused primary care clinics or our suite of integrated clinical solutions for health plans and provider groups, we are making value-based care more accessible and more effective. We help reduce avoidable healthcare costs, improve clinical outcomes, and create a best-in-class patient experience. If you're passionate about transforming healthcare and delivering meaningful care to those who need it most, Greater Good Health offers a purpose-driven, collaborative, and supportive environment where your work can make a lasting impact. Reporting to the Senior Director of Engineering, you’ll help build and operate the systems that connect our clinical, engagement, and operational platforms. This is a hands-on senior engineering role focused on integrations, data movement, platform reliability, and the tools our teams use every day to deliver care. You’ll work closely with product, clinical, and operational stakeholders to build software that scales our ability to reach and care for patients.

Requirements

Experience building and operating production systems that integrate multiple services, process data reliably, and handle real-world failure scenarios
Strong backend experience in PHP and Laravel (or a comparable backend framework and application architecture that can be applied effectively in a Laravel environment)
Full-stack development experience, including server-rendered interactive user interfaces using Livewire or comparable server-driven UI frameworks, along with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
Experience designing, building, and consuming RESTful APIs and integrating with third-party systems using OAuth2, token-based authentication, webhooks, and related patterns
A track record of coordinating data across multiple systems while handling failures, retries, reconciliation, and data consistency concerns
Experience building secure software that handles sensitive information, including access control, tenant isolation, and protection of data in transit and at rest
Experience with distributed and event-driven architectures, including queues, messaging systems, asynchronous processing, and scheduled workflows
Strong relational database experience (PostgreSQL preferred; MySQL, MariaDB, or similar also welcome), including schema design, query optimization, and writing complex SQL alongside an ORM when appropriate
Experience building maintainable, well-structured software that balances pragmatism, clarity, and long-term adaptability
Hands-on experience with a major cloud platform (AWS preferred), including managed databases, storage, queues, monitoring, and observability
7+ years of professional software engineering experience building full-stack, cloud-native web applications

Nice To Haves

Studies have shown that marginalized communities - such as women, LGBTQ+ and people of color - are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. GGH is dedicated to building an inclusive, diverse, equitable, and accessible workplace that fosters a sense of belonging – so if you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to still consider applying.

Responsibilities

Build and own the integrations at the center of our platform (e.g., pulling enrollment and member data, exchanging patient records with EHR, retrieving clinical documents, running patient engagement and outreach, driving outbound calling, sending messaging, exchanging data with health plans and provider groups).
Ensure data arrives accurately, is reconciled appropriately, and reaches the right systems and teams at the right time using APIs, event-driven architectures, message queues, webhooks, scheduled processes, and file-based integrations.
Extend our Laravel backend, including business logic, background jobs, console commands, and data models.
Build and maintain Livewire and Blade interfaces for clinical, operational, and administrative teams.
Design, implement, and maintain well-structured APIs for internal and external consumers.
Integrate with third-party platforms using REST APIs, OAuth2, token-based authentication, webhooks, and related integration patterns.
Work closely with cloud infrastructure (AWS services like Aurora PostgreSQL, S3, queues) with infrastructure defined through code.
Mentor and support other engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and day-to-day collaboration.
Share effective approaches to modern software development, including the responsible use of AI-assisted development tools.
Continuously improve system performance, resiliency, operational visibility, and developer productivity.
Identify opportunities to simplify architecture, reduce operational burden, and improve long-term maintainability.
Build secure software that protects PHI and other sensitive information through thoughtful system design, strong access controls, and careful attention to tenant isolation.
Monitor, troubleshoot, and improve the systems they develop, treating reliability, data integrity, security, and operational excellence as first-class engineering concerns.
