[Hiring] Senior Software Engineer @Vynca

Role Description

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to lead the development of innovative, scalable, and secure healthcare technology solutions. In this role, you will provide technical leadership across key projects, work with cross-functional teams to deliver impactful products, and mentor engineers to ensure the highest technical standards are met. You will play a key role in advancing our mission to improve patient care and outcomes through technology. This position is remote and requires working Pacific Coast business hours (PST).

What you'll do

• Technical Leadership & Strategy
  • Architect, design, and lead the development of scalable, high-performance systems using event-driven architectures (e.g., Apache Kafka, Airflow, Flink) and distributed systems.
  • Champion best practices in system design, code quality, CI/CD pipelines, and observability (e.g., DataDog, Kibana).
• System Design & Execution
  • Own end-to-end delivery of mission-critical products, from concept to deployment, including:
    • Real-time data pipelines: design and implement event-streaming and ETL flows that process millions of records per second with low latency.
    • Batch & streaming hybrid architectures: leverage tools like Kafka Streams, Flink, and Spark Streaming.
    • Healthcare data integration: ingest, transform, and serve FHIR, CCDA, HL7 V2/V3, and other clinical document standards at scale.
    • Microservices & customer-facing applications: build resilient, API-driven services with robust versioning and backward compatibility.
    • Optimize system performance (e.g., API latency reduction, error-rate minimization) through distributed caching, code refactoring, and infrastructure improvements.
    • Design fault-tolerant, cloud-native solutions (AWS, Kubernetes) with a focus on resilience, cost efficiency, and scalability.
    • Lead migration/modernization efforts (e.g., legacy system rewrites, data lake/warehouse implementations) while ensuring seamless customer transitions.
• Cross-functional Collaboration
  • Partner with product managers and stakeholders to translate business requirements into technical solutions, advocating for sustainable and innovative approaches.
  • Drive R&D initiatives to prototype and validate new technologies (e.g., AI/ML integration, real-time analytics).
  • Communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences, ensuring alignment across teams.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field (advanced degree preferred).
• 5-7 years in software engineering.
• Proficiency in Python and Java, with experience in modern frameworks (e.g., Flask/FastAPI, Spring Boot).
• Mastery of event-driven architectures (Kafka, Kinesis), distributed systems, and cloud platforms (AWS, Kubernetes).
• Strong background in building scalable, real-time data pipelines (Kafka, Flink, Airflow) and hybrid batch/stream systems.
• Hands-on experience integrating and processing healthcare data standards: FHIR, CCDA, HL7 V2/V3, DICOM, etc.
• Database design (SQL, NoSQL, DynamoDB) and data warehousing (Redshift, BigQuery, Snowflake).
• Demonstrated success in optimizing performance (latency, error rates) and reducing infrastructure costs (AWS).
• Exceptional communication, problem-solving, and collaboration skills; ability to navigate ambiguity and drive consensus.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in healthcare technology or other regulated industries (Medicare/Medicaid, payor systems, EHR integrations).
• Familiarity with real-time analytics, AI/ML integration, or genomic data pipelines.
• Track record of innovation in real-time reporting or streaming data products.
• Working knowledge of healthcare security and compliance frameworks (HIPAA, HITRUST).
