Job Title: Software Engineer

Department: Product Development 

About the Role: 

Unite Us is seeking a software engineer to help us as we advance the state of healthcare and social care interoperability and health informatics. This engineer will have a background contributing to large-scale products with object-oriented programming, particularly implementing APIs and contributing to platforms. This role is 90% back-end focused.

The Platform Services team focuses on core APIs and services that power the entire Unite Us product suite. Our stakeholders are both internal and external, and we navigate multiple incoming streams of work. The ideal candidate is a collaborative problem solver who enjoys working with others in a mix of green- and brown-field contexts. The software engineer should be unafraid to ask questions; this team is highly collaborative and values collective success over individual heroism.

In addition to powering Unite Us’ products, our engineering team brings to life technology solutions that advance interoperability of the Unite Us platform with new and current integration partners like community-based organizations (CBOs), Health Information Exchanges (HIEs), and systems used by all members of a whole-person care team. A background exploring the healthcare or social care problem space would be very useful but is not required.

 

What You'll Do:

  • Interrogate, synthesize, and implement acceptance criteria to deliver high-quality software solutions.
  • Build and maintain scalable, customizable interoperability solutions that can export and ingest data.

  • Enhance and maintain authentication standards such as SAML, SCIM, OAuth, and SMART
  • Test your own software, and work with Test Engineers to ensure comprehensive automated test coverage.
  • Refine product requirements as needed
  • Contribute to a positive, solution-focused team culture.

You’re a great fit for this role if:

  • 2-4 years of relevant experience  as a software engineer or in a related role
  • A strong understanding of CS fundamentals.
  • Proven experience successfully collaborating with immediate teammates as well as other teams in problem-solving.
  • Experience writing code that is clear, concise, testable, easily understood by other engineers, and accounts for errors and edge cases.
  • Experience understanding and making design decisions and tradeoffs 
  • Proficiency using modern web development technologies and techniques to build web services
  • 2 or more years of back-end and API integration experience.
  • Some knowledge of cloud-based SaaS development is required.
  • A talent for asking questions that will help to flesh out project requirements, and a curiosity about how business requirements become technical requirements
  • Experience mentoring and being mentored by team members in an open, respectful, flexible, empathetic manner
  • Deep understanding of healthcare claims lifecycle (EDI 837/835, adjudication, coordination of benefits)
  • Experience integrating with payer and provider systems (FHIR, HL7, X12)
  • Knowledge of HIPAA compliance and PHI data handling
  • Familiarity with claim edits, business rules engines, and validation logic

Preferred

  • Experience with open standards-based authentication frameworks, such as OAuth and SAML
  • Experience in creating or working in large-scale distributed applications. 
  • Experience with Ruby or Ruby on Rails, Python, or with object-oriented and/or functional programming generally are highly desirable but not required.
  • Experience with CI/CD tools and Docker or Kubernetes
  • Experience with tracking systems like New Relic or LogDNA
  • Experience working in Agile teams, particularly remotely

Experience with healthcare or social care technologies like Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource (FHIR).

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.
