Requirements
- Comfortable working directly with customers.
- Experience with infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, Docker).
- Familiarity with CI/CD best practices.
- Proficient in SQL.
- Health IT or public health data experience, such as HL7 or disease surveillance systems.
- Experience producing high-quality code by adhering to automated testing.
- Understanding of software systems architecture, performance, reliability, and availability.
- Experience working on cross-functional teams (product, design, engineering, ops) in iterative delivery.
- Ability to successfully complete a company background check.
- Ability to obtain a public trust or security clearance.
Responsibilities
- Partner with state, tribal, local, and territorial (STLT) health departments through onboarding, migration, and troubleshooting, learning their infrastructure and data flows firsthand.
- Diagnose whether a blocker is a real product gap, a configuration issue, or something that needs a one-off integration, then build that piece yourself.
- Write the targeted scripts, configurations, and integrations that get a jurisdiction onto the platform without forking the core product.
- Work closely with the platform, data, and epidemiology teams to stay clear on what’s core-supported versus what’s jurisdiction-specific glue.
- Surface patterns across jurisdictions back to the product team, so a recurring one-off becomes a real feature instead of getting rebuilt every time.
- Build secure, compliant software that meets federal security standards and defends against common vulnerabilities.
