Senior Software Engineer, Integration Platform

Join us as we work to create a thriving ecosystem that delivers accessible, high-quality, and sustainable healthcare for all.

Build and ship robust full‑stack systems that enable seamless, secure data exchange across athenahealth’s ecosystem. Based in Boston, MA as a hybrid role, this position combines backend engineering, frontend development, and AI model integration to deliver production‑ready features and services that improve operational efficiency and patient care.

Provide a secure, reliable, and developer-friendly integration platform that enables real‑time and batch data exchange between athenahealth systems, customers, and partners — accelerating partner onboarding, reducing operational toil, and ensuring data integrity. The Integration Platform team is the central capability other product teams rely on for coordinated, scalable, and user‑focused access to external data and for exchanging information across the healthcare ecosystem.

The team’s mission includes reducing integration build effort by providing standard integration patterns and tooling, operating and monitoring interfaces at scale for high availability, and enabling both standard and custom integrations where client requirements demand them. Key goals include improving interface stability and performance, supporting regulatory and compliance requirements, accelerating payer and partner onboarding, and delivering operational tooling that improves run‑time observability and maintainability.

The team collaborates closely with product, security, operations, and partner engineering to prioritize reliability, measurable outcomes, and reduced manual work and time to value for customers.

• Design and develop backend services and APIs using Java and Spring Boot for high‑availability production systems.
• Implement and maintain Postgre
  
  SQL schemas, queries, and performance optimizations.
• Deploy, operate, and scale services on AWS (EC2) and container platforms using Docker and Kubernetes.
• Build and integrate frontend interfaces using React
  
  JS to support integration management and tooling.
• Implement infrastructure as code using Terraform and contribute to CI/CD pipelines and observability.
• Integrate AI models and GenAI APIs into product workflows, including RAG patterns, embeddings, and AI search optimization techniques.
• Collaborate in Agile teams to deliver features, conduct code reviews, and maintain engineering best practices.

• Prototype new integration patterns and evaluate third‑party partner solutions.
• Contribute to architectural discussions and platform roadmap planning.
• Monitor production systems, troubleshoot incidents, and implement post‑incident improvements.
• Produce runbooks and onboarding materials for operational teams and partners.
• Mentor junior engineers and share knowledge across the team.
• Participate in security and compliance assessments related to integrations.
• Assist with performance testing and capacity planning for integration workloads.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Proficiency in Java full‑stack development and strong software engineering fundamentals.
• Extensive experience with Spring Boot, Postgre
  
  SQL, AWS (EC2), Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and Graph
  
  QL.
• Hands‑on experience with React
  
  JS for building user interfaces.
• Experience working in Agile development environments.
• Experience integrating AI models and GenAI APIs; familiarity with RAG, embeddings, and AI search optimization techniques.
• Familiarity with workflow engines such as Camunda or similar technologies is desirable.
