About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own provider and payer integrations end-to-end, from discovery through to production deployment.
Join client discovery sessions to map clinical and administrative workflows and convert them into precise technical requirements.
Build and maintain integrations using RESTful APIs where available, and scrapers/RPA tooling where legacy systems require it.
Ship custom integrations quickly to meet time-sensitive client needs.
Contribute to core product development when integration work allows.
Develop deep working knowledge of the US provider/payer landscape, including HIPAA/HITECH and HL7 standards.
Work across a Python/FastAPI backend and React + TypeScript frontend as needed.
Operate and manage cloud infrastructure on AWS or GCP with Postgres-backed services.
Communicate technical tradeoffs clearly to non-technical stakeholders and client teams.

Requirements

What you’ll need

2–5 years of full-stack engineering experience, ideally on small startup teams with broad ownership.

Strong experience integrating with third-party RESTful APIs (authentication, data mapping, error handling).
Hands-on experience building web scrapers or RPA workflows for legacy or non-API systems.
Cloud infrastructure experience on AWS or GCP.
Familiarity with Python, FastAPI, React, TypeScript, Postgres, and GitHub.
Domain knowledge in US healthcare — familiarity with payer/provider workflows, HIPAA/HITECH, and HL7 standards.
Experience building AI-enabled features in production (beyond personal use of coding assistants).
Active, fluent use of AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) to accelerate shipping.
Strong written and verbal English communication skills — able to tell a clear technical story to non-technical audiences.
Legal authorization to work in the United States without visa sponsorship (dealbreaker).
