Senior Software Engineer, Data Acquisition Team

Senior Software Engineer, Data Acquisition Team

Zus is a shared health data platform designed to accelerate healthcare data interoperability by providing easy-to-use patient data via API, embedded components, and direct EHR integrations. Founded in 2021 by Jonathan Bush, co-founder and former CEO of athenahealth, Zus partners with HIEs and other data networks to aggregate patient clinical history and then translates that history into user-friendly information at the point of care. Zus's mission is to catalyze healthcare's greatest inventors by maximizing the value of patient insights - so that they can build up, not around.

We are seeking a senior engineer to join our Data Acquisition (DA) team. Engineers at Zus have the opportunity to collaborate with our founding product and engineering leaders to bring our vision to the nation's healthcare entrepreneurs. This team is responsible for collecting health data from a broad range of internal and external sources and making that data useful for users of the Zus platform.

The engineer joining this team will help build tools that interact with external health data networks to collect information about our patients and load it into the Zus data stores at high volume, as well as services used by customers and internal stakeholders to request that data. The ideal candidate will be excited to take on the challenge of unifying diverse health care data sources to bring a clear picture of patient needs to our customers in ways that the developers of said data sources never thought or cared about.

You will work on data pipelines that operate on large scale data using a variety of AWS services (Step Functions, Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, etc). You will also work on RESTful services that are used both internally and externally. Go is our language of choice, although we also have some components written in NodeJS. The team is responsible for deploying, maintaining, and operating its pipelines and services.

You're a good fit because you...

• Are scrappy and you move fast
• Have experience with operationally stable and cost efficient data pipelines
• Enjoy owning your work and seeing it deploy safely in production
• Have experience building backend software in any language (we use mostly Go with a bit of Node)
• Have some experience with at least one of the following : deployment technologies (Github actions, CodeDeploy, CircleCI), cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP), and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Chef)
• Are excited to enable a true digital revolution in healthcare
• Thrive amid the changing landscape of a growing and evolving startup
• Enjoy collaboration and solving unique problems
• Are comfortable working remotely (EST / CST preferred as that is where our team is located) and are willing to travel for in person collaboration occasionally
