Requirements

• 10+ years of overall hands-on professional experience with distributed systems engineering and asynchronous processing in a concurrent environment
• 5+ years of meaningful coding experience with Golang including shipping production systems written primarily in Go
• 5+ years of hands-on experience with our core technologies or similar technologies in a cloud environment, including Linux, Bash scripting, Kafka or a similar event-streaming system, SQS or some form of enterprise message bus or queue, Kubernetes or some other container orchestration system, Docker or some other OS-level virtualization system, and AWS
• 2+ years of meaningful coding experience with Python
• Experience with application, server, and service security, secure development, and cryptography including protocols and technologies (eg. OAuth2, RSA/DSA and signing algorithms)
• Strong belief and demonstrated capabilities in leveraging the power of testing and test automation
• Familiarity with SQL, NoSQL, key-value stores, and related concepts, and at least some proficiency in SQL
• Excellent asynchronous communication, listening, and interpersonal skills, and you consider yourself a lifelong learner

Responsibilities

• Develop core platform features using Golang, Python, PostgreSQL, Kafka, and various cloud (AWS) services, with a particular focus on developer experience, tools, and testing
• Apply your experience with distributed systems to our architecture and services, drawing on your hard-won knowledge of the places where whole new classes of fun and exciting bugs lurk
• Collaborate with your engineering peers and build productive relationships with members of the Go-to-Market, Product Management, Clinical Content, and other teams that need our expertise to translate their requirements into coherent technical solutions
• Partner with our cloud/SRE team to understand the performance characteristics and storage needs for our Kubernetes clusters and the pods and containers that run there, which requires continual tuning as we dynamically scale throughout the day to meet client usage patterns and data flows while meeting sub-second SLA performance requirements
• Assist our infosec team in reviewing the findings of automated and manual security testing and audits, including both HITRUST and SOC 2 Type II, and work with the engineering team to implement and refactor code and services in a secure fashion
• Influence the whole Engineering organization to adopt best practices in software development and testing, helping us all develop high-quality, scalable, testable, and maintainable code
• Participate with internal and external stakeholders to understand the business logic and other requirements (such as refresh latency) for our Web-based payment integrity solution, client data warehouse exports, and one-time/ad-hoc analysis needs
• Write and help maintain specifications, documentation, diagrams, test plans, and other artifacts that represent the current and planned future state of our systems
• Serve as a peer reviewer for a colleague’s code, participate in an engineering architecture specification review, work with the product management team to refine a set of requirements or break a story down into concrete tasks for implementation; or
• Mentor less-experienced developers as they grow in their own mastery of these topics and more

Benefits

• Freedom to work from wherever you work best and a home office stipend to make it happen
• Meaningful equity and 401k matching
• Unlimited PTO and wellness reimbursements
• Comprehensive health plans with generous contribution to premiums
