Who We're Looking For

We are looking to hire a Software Engineer II, Integrations (L2) who will deliver scoped integration work that connects external systems to our platform in a reliable, maintainable, and secure way. You will work hands-on building and maintaining API-to-API integrations, direct database connections (Epic Kit and Caboodle, Clarity, etc.), and FHIR and HL7-based workflows with leading EHRs. This is an execution-focused role where you will be productive independently on defined tasks while collaborating closely with senior engineers for design guidance, prioritization, and escalation.

This is a highly cross-functional role. You'll work closely with Product, Customer Success, and Engineering to understand integration requirements and implementation details, with customer interaction as needed and typically in partnership with senior engineers. You will report to the Director of Engineering and play a key role in expanding our integration capabilities as we scale.

Who You Are

You are an accomplished engineer who thrives in dynamic, fully distributed environments. You bring a strong foundation in software engineering fundamentals and take pride in developing high-quality integrations that are secure, reliable, and maintainable. You are energized by the challenge of connecting complex healthcare systems and translating technical requirements into working solutions.

You are curious, detail-oriented, and highly proactive. You are comfortable navigating EHR integration nuances, understanding data models, and working across API protocols to deliver work that meets both technical standards and customer needs. You thrive when collaborating across teams and take a partnership-first approach, leaning on senior engineers for guidance while driving your own work forward with increasing independence.

You're excited about operating in a mission-driven, fast-moving environment and have a passion for leveraging your technical skills to develop new solutions for our customers. Most importantly, you share our commitment to advancing health equity for low-income populations and take pride in contributing to that mission through the integrations you build.
