Principal Software Engineer, Data & Interoperability

At Nuna, our mission is to make high-quality healthcare affordable and accessible for everyone. We are dedicated to tackling one of our nation’s biggest problems with ingenuity, creativity, and a keen moral compass.

Nuna is committed to simple principles: a rigorous understanding of data, modern technology, and most importantly, compassion and care for our fellow human. We want to know what really works, what doesn't—and why. 

YOUR TEAM

Nuna’s value platform will make payers and providers successful in value-based care arrangements to improve outcomes and lower the cost of care. Our work runs the gamut from joining streams of messy real-world data to building queryable data warehouses to constructing visualizations and dashboards that provide actionable insight. We build systems that are auditable, as automated as possible, an accurate representation of the underlying data, and, most importantly, responsive to our end users' needs. We strive for a creative, collaborative engineering environment that implements best practices of peer review, readability, maintainability, and security of the code base and infrastructure.

As one of the Principal Engineers for Nuna’s Value Platform team, you'll build products that change the dynamics and incentives of the healthcare industry, changing a zero-sum game of competition between payers and providers into patient-centered collaboration. You’ll create and refine architectural designs, integrations, and development processes across a team of 40+ engineers. You’ll take a leadership role in defining, architecting, and building the integrations between Nuna’s value platform third-party provider/population-health-entity systems that will help providers better engage and manage their patients.

YOUR OPPORTUNITIES

In this role, you will:

  • Drive technical strategy and architecture across Nuna’s platform
  • Provide technical guidance to software development teams, training to engineers, and vision to executive teams
  • Help create an environment in which developers can thrive
  • Design APIs and service architectures that multiply the effectiveness of internal and external developers serving millions of patients
  • Manage our high stakes production environment, ensuring high availability/low latency while protecting our sensitive data with rigorous security
  • Identify significant opportunities to improve our products and underlying technology blazing trails through ambiguity
  • Align cross functional teams with effective communication, and drive company culture with Nuna’s core values
  • Mentor more junior engineers and, in turn, learn from more senior engineers, because we are learners, not knowers, and growing Nuna’s people is the most reliable way to scale our impact
  • Work as part of a team, not in a silo - at Nuna, we rise by lifting others!

QUALIFICATIONS

  • 10+ years of experience 
  • Have experience interoperating with at least one major health platform - e.g., Epic, Arcadia, Innovacer
  • Experience implementing applications using FHIR and extending FHIR
  • Expertise in synthesizing complex technical requirements, designs, trade-offs, and capabilities into clear decisions, and track record of influencing both business and product direction
  • Experience scaling complex systems and data pipelines with efficient, secure, and load tested interactions
  • Experience working with executive to intern levels with effective negotiating and influencing skills
  • Experience delegating tasks and evaluating performance of projects
  • Experience providing creative solutions and offering theories that solve complex problems and create values for our customers
  • Experience rapidly prototyping new product concepts, especially for enterprise clients
  • You’re passionate about data quality and testing

We take into account an individual’s qualifications, skillset, and experience in determining final salary. This role is eligible for health insurance, life insurance, retirement benefits, participation in the company’s equity program, paid time off, including vacation and sick leave. The expected salary range for this position is $223,000 to $273,250. The actual offer will be at the company’s sole discretion and determined by relevant business considerations, including the final candidate’s qualifications, years of experience, and skillset.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
