What are the responsibilities and job description for the Software Engineer III - Ruby position at Unite Us?
About the Role:
Interoperability means building bridges between diverse, complex systems that may have never been linked before. The ideal candidate will be imaginative and driven to ask critical questions about how systems should, could, or do work. The software engineer must be able to make sense of written specifications and to probe for what might be missing or incomplete in those specifications. Product intuition is valued, as is the ability to communicate what you learn to others.
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.
What You'll Do:
- Contribute to a rapidly changing environment, making good design choices to lay a foundation that encourages modular, reusable, non-brittle software.
- Build inbound and outbound interfaces based on industry standards such as HL7 and SMART on FHIR.
- Test your own software, and work with Test Engineers to build and maintain automated tests.
- Help product owners and stakeholders understand the technical challenges a project faces.
- Continuously add your own valuable input and bring in your ideas.
What's Required:
- At least 3 years of experience working with back-end and API integrations.
- Command of modern programming languages.
- Proven experience successfully collaborating with immediate teammates as well as other teams in problem-solving.
- Experience writing code that is clear, concise, testable, easy to understand 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.
- Experience with cloud infrastructure like AWS.
- Experience contributing to the ongoing improvement of immediate team practices and processes.
Qualifications:
These are things we care about on the Interoperability team, though candidates do not have to meet every qualification on this list
- Experience with Ruby, Rails, Python/Django Golang, or other similar languages and MVC frameworks commonly used when building APIs.
- Experience with CI/CD tools and Docker or Kubernetes.
- Experience with monitoring/tracking systems like New Relic.
- Experience working in Agile teams, particularly remotely. Experience with Scrum would be very valuable.
- Experience with healthcare or social care technologies like Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource (FHIR).
- A talent for asking questions that will help to flesh out project requirements, and a curiosity about how business requirements become technical requirements.
Who we are:
As our co-founders transitioned from military to civilian life, they encountered barriers and inefficiencies navigating the most basic health and social services. Together, they set out to improve that experience for others. Recognizing that social care is essential for better health outcomes, they embarked on a mission to connect people to the care they need, when they need it, in communities across the country. Unite Us has developed an intuitive and seamless technology solution that goes beyond the traditional referral method. We work side-by-side with local organizations, and track data and outcomes to build coordinated care networks that support all aspects of community health. Unite Us is boldly changing the nation’s care delivery system. If you want to do well and do good, join Unite Us– we can build healthier communities together.
