Platform Software Engineer

Overview

We are looking for a skilled Platform Software Engineer to design and build the shared components, integration frameworks, and tooling that empower engineering teams across the organization. The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience with healthcare data standards, workflow automation, and full-stack web development. You will work at the intersection of backend services, cloud infrastructure, and healthcare interoperability—building the foundational layers that accelerate development velocity and consistency across multiple domains.

Key Responsibilities

• Platform Development: Design, implement, and maintain reusable platform components, libraries, and SDKs that enable engineering teams to build automation and integration solutions efficiently and consistently.
• Healthcare Integration: Develop and maintain integrations using industry-standard healthcare protocols and formats including EDI (X12), HL7 (v2/v3), FHIR (R4), and RESTful APIs connecting EHRs, payers, clearinghouses, and third-party systems.
• Workflow Automation: Design and maintain the automation platform and reusable RPA tooling—built on Python, Selenium, and OpenCV—that engineering teams rely on to develop, compose, and deploy automation workflows without reinventing foundational capabilities.
• API Development: Design and implement RESTful APIs and integration services that provide clean abstractions over complex healthcare transactions and downstream systems.
• Web Development: Contribute to full-stack web application development using Python (FastAPI) for backend services and React for frontend interfaces that support platform operations and tooling.
• Cloud Infrastructure: Deploy and manage platform services on Microsoft Azure, leveraging PaaS offerings such as App Services, Azure Functions, Logic Apps, and Azure SQL.
• CI/CD & DevOps: Operate comfortably within CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions; contribute to infrastructure managed via IaC tools such as Terraform, Bicep, or ARM templates.
• Compliance & Security: Ensure all platform components adhere to healthcare data privacy and security requirements (HIPAA), and follow Azure security best practices including RBAC, Key Vault, and Entra ID.
• Documentation: Produce clear, thorough technical documentation for platform components, APIs, integration patterns, and developer usage guides.
• Collaboration: Partner with cross-functional teams to understand integration needs, define platform standards, and provide technical guidance on platform adoption.

Requirements

• Proficiency in Python, with experience building production-grade applications and automation solutions.
• Hands-on experience with REST API design, development, and consumption.
• Familiarity with workflow automation and RPA tooling (e.g., Selenium, OpenCV, or similar frameworks).
• Experience with full-stack web development using FastAPI (backend) and React (frontend).
• Solid understanding of relational databases (MS SQL or equivalent), including schema design and query optimization.
• Experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).
• Experience deploying and managing applications on cloud environments (Azure preferred).
• Understanding of healthcare data privacy and security requirements, including HIPAA compliance.
• Proficiency with Git and collaborative development workflows.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to write documentation oriented toward developer consumers.
• Collaborative mindset with experience contributing to shared or platform-oriented engineering efforts.
• Experience applying AI/ML techniques to automation workflows (OCR, NLP, predictive analytics).
• Familiarity with software design patterns and service-oriented architecture principles, with demonstrated ability to reason through system-level design trade-offs and contribute beyond individual feature delivery.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Azure PaaS services (App Services, Azure Functions, Logic Apps, Azure SQL, Key Vault, Azure Monitor).
• Experience developing healthcare integrations using EDI (X12 837/835/270/271), HL7 (v2 or v3), and/or FHIR (R4) standards.
• Familiarity with CI/CD tools (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep).
• Familiarity with EHR/billing systems, healthcare web portals, or revenue cycle management processes.
• Microsoft Certified: Azure Developer Associate or equivalent certification.
• Familiarity with mobile application development (iOS/Android or cross-platform frameworks); comfort advising on mobile integration patterns or consulting on contractor-built mobile solutions.
