Close collaboration with product owners, QA professionals, and fellow engineers in an Agile setting is key, as you contribute to sprint planning, daily stand-ups, retrospectives, and iterative delivery. When necessary, you will assist in testing, debugging, and validating solutions to meet high quality, performance, and regulatory standards. Your responsibilities will also involve modernizing and optimizing existing systems, including performance tuning of legacy SQL stored procedures for improved efficiency and scalability. You'll leverage GitHub workflows to support CI/CD pipelines, conduct code reviews, and ensure automated quality checks, while also writing unit tests to enhance code coverage and maintainability. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced healthcare technology environment, possesses strong backend engineering skills, and effectively utilizes Copilot and other AI-assisted tools to tackle complex challenges and boost developer productivity. Responsibilities Design, develop, test, and maintain data-driven software applications using Python and modern frameworks. Build and optimize API-driven solutions utilizing Python (FastAPI, Django, Flask) for scalable integrations. Develop and maintain data pipelines and ETL workflows using tools such as Azure Data Factory, Fabric, PySpark, and related technologies. Write clear, maintainable, and efficient code according to best practices and coding standards. Collaborate with product managers, designers, and other engineers to translate requirements into technical specifications. Participate in code reviews to uphold code quality, functionality, and maintainability. Troubleshoot, debug, and resolve technical issues and bugs promptly. Optimize applications for maximum performance, scalability, and reliability. Contribute to continuous improvements in development processes, tools, and methodologies.

Minimum 3 years of experience in software engineering or data engineering roles. Strong expertise in Python, including experience developing API-driven solutions (FastAPI, Django, Flask). Hands-on experience with Azure data services (Azure Data Factory, Fabric, Synapse) and ETL tools (SSIS or similar) with experience in writing stored procedures. Experience with PySpark, Databricks, or other Spark-based frameworks for large-scale data processing. Solid understanding of SQL, T-SQL, and experience writing stored procedures in SQL Server or similar relational databases. Comprehensive knowledge of data modeling, data pipelines, and data transformation best practices. Experience with cloud platforms (Azure preferred; AWS or GCP knowledge is a plus). Proficiency in containerization tools (Docker, Kubernetes) for deploying data solutions. Familiarity with version control systems (Git) and collaborative coding workflows. Ability to write unit and integration tests to ensure code quality and reliability. Excellent problem-solving skills with the ability to work independently and as part of a team. Strong communication skills to effectively explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Healthcare experience, especially in authorization/prior-authorization workflows, is a significant plus. We prioritize your security in the hiring process, implementing various identity verification measures, including submitting a government-issued photo ID. Identity verification will occur during interviews, and final interview stages may require onsite attendance. All candidates must complete a comprehensive background check, in-person I-9 verification, and may be subject to drug screening before employment. Note that the use of artificial intelligence tools during interviews is prohibited and closely monitored. Misrepresentation will lead to immediate disqualification from consideration.
