You'll work on customer-facing workflows, turning ambiguity into shippable slices, and helping us level up reliability, security, and speed as we scale.

What you'll do:

    - Build features: implement and ship production ready functionality across frontend and backend (TypeScript, Next.js, NestJS).

    - Backend: contribute heavily to APIs, data models, and integrations that power questionnaire-driven workflows and FHIR pipelines.

    - Frontend: build intuitive, configurable UI modules for complex healthcare workflows, collaborate closely with Product and domain experts.

    - Quality & reliability: contribute to testing strategy (unit/integration/contract/E2E), safe migrations, and rollouts (feature flags).

    - Observability & performance: instrument tracing/metrics/logging, improve dashboards/alerts, and participate in incident reviews and follow-ups.
    - Engineering excellence: raise the bar through strong code reviews, pragmatic standards, and improvements to the developer experience.

    - FHIR correctness: help ensure backend transformations produce valid FHIR resources in Medplum and support scalable data flows.

What makes you a great fit:

    - 7+ years building production web applications (frontend + backend) in a fast-moving environment.

    - Strong TypeScript + Node.js experience and solid production exposure to NestJS (or comparable backend frameworks with willingness to ramp quickly).

Bonuses:

    - Experience with FHIR / Medplum, healthcare data workflows, or LIMS/clinical systems.

    - Familiarity with HIPAA and/or SOC 2 practices.

CareIgnition | Senior Software Engineer (Generalist) | REMOTE, Chicago (US Only)

Medical billing in America is a black box of fragmented data and inefficiency. At CareIgnition, we are building the transparency layer for healthcare. We transform massive, messy datasets into financial clarity for employers and providers.

We are looking for a pragmatic generalist. You’ll be working across the entire stack: from building customer-facing features in React and Django to architecting data pipelines that process petabytes of medical claims and rates. Crucially, this role involves deep algorithmic and analytical work. You won't just move data; you will implement the logic that makes sense of it.

We value "generalist" DNA—engineers who are as comfortable optimizing a SQL query as they are building a clean UI component. If you enjoy solving high-scale data problems that have a direct impact on healthcare affordability, we’d love to talk.

Tech: Python, Django, React, AWS (ECS, Step Functions, Athena), SQL (DuckDB/Polars), Iceberg/Redshift.
