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

We are seeking a Software Engineer to join our Care Management team within the athenaClinicals Product Engineering organization.

The Team:

Our athenaClinicals team builds impactful solutions used daily by over 160,000 healthcare providers. We create interfaces that make interactions with electronic health records seamless and ensure clinicians see what they need, when they need it. Driven by innovation and passion, we’re committed to making a meaningful impact in healthcare.

Within Clinicals, the Care Management and Coordination team develops workflows that help providers deliver effective, value-based care for groups of patients. Since most interactions occur outside of clinics, our tools support care management and patient support between visits. If you’re excited about building solutions that improve care coordination in a changing healthcare landscape, this is a great opportunity to join a forward-thinking team at athenahealth.

The Role:

You are a full-stack developer with a problem-solving mindset and a desire to grow your skills in healthcare technology. Above all, you’re a team player—communicating clearly, collaborating effectively, and sharing knowledge to deliver successful projects in a fast-paced environment. This role offers the chance to build solutions that truly make a difference while continuing your professional growth.

Job Responsibilities

  • Design and develop full-stack applications within an Agile team, collaborating with product owners and designers.

  • Follow best practices for code quality, security, and testing (unit, integration, end-to-end).

  • Work with teammates to improve productivity, share insights, and adopt best practices organization-wide.

  • Take ownership of your work, deepen your domain knowledge, and support projects from design through deployment.

  • Troubleshoot and resolve bugs or performance issues in development and production environments.

  • Actively participate in Agile ceremonies such as planning, reviews, and retrospectives.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.

  • 2–4 years of product development experience.

  • Proficient in Java; familiarity with Spring Boot and REST APIs is a plus.

  • Experience with React and JavaScript/TypeScript; GraphQL knowledge is a bonus.

  • Basic understanding of relational databases and SQL.

  • Exposure to cloud platforms like AWS (EKS/Kubernetes, ECS), Docker, and Helm is advantageous.

  • Familiarity with CI/CD workflows, Linux/Unix environments, and software best practices.

  • Team player, eager to learn, with effective communication skills in a collaborative environment.

We are a diverse group of dreamers and do-ers with unique knowledge, expertise, backgrounds, and perspectives.

What we can do for you:

We also encourage a better work-life balance for athenistas with our flexibility.
