[Hiring] Staff Software Engineer, Foundations @Atria Health and Research Institute

Role Description

Atria Health is seeking a Staff Software Engineer for our Foundations team, working across Platform, DevOps, and Data Engineering. This is a senior individual contributor role responsible for leading the technical direction of our platform, with a focus on EMR integrations (particularly Athena), systems infrastructure, caching strategies, and robust internal tooling and support for our domain product teams (Clinical Experience, Member Experience, and Care Delivery).

You'll own the design and implementation of core platform services while acting as a force multiplier for engineering across the organization. You'll partner closely with engineers and clinical leaders to turn ambiguous problems into clear technical strategies, ensure architectural consistency across teams, and take end-to-end ownership of complex, multi-team initiatives from idea to launch.

Qualifications

• ~8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with significant time as a senior/staff IC building product experiences in production.
• A track record of owning and shipping multi-team projects in modern web stacks.
• Experience working closely with product and design on user-facing features.
• Comfortable leading technical decisions in ambiguous domains and defending those decisions with clear tradeoffs.

Requirements

• Strong full-stack skills: you can design an API and data model, build the UI that consumes it, and wire up monitoring and metrics.
• Deep familiarity with at least one cloud provider and infrastructure-as-code.
• Strong instincts around systems design: reliability, performance, security, and cost all feature in your thinking.
• Excellent debugging and incident-response skills; you're comfortable digging into logs, traces, and data to understand issues.
• Proven ability to lead through influence: aligning multiple teams and partners on technical direction without needing direct authority.
• Comfort working in a highly cross-functional environment with clinicians, operations, and research in the loop.
• Clear written and verbal communication; you can explain complex technical topics to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
• You enjoy mentoring and leveling up the people around you.

Benefits

• Compensation: $200,000 - $280,000 (based on location)

Key Responsibilities

• Partner with the Sr. Director, Foundations to define and drive the technical vision and direction for the Foundations group.
• Lead architecture decisions for integration patterns, caching infrastructure, and shared services.
• Serve as a technical escalation point for complex platform challenges.
• Raise the bar on reliability and performance by driving SLOs, capacity planning, and incident-ready designs.
• Personally execute on the highest-priority and most technically challenging projects.
• Design and implement strategies that improve application performance and reduce external API dependencies.
• Build and maintain caching infrastructure with appropriate invalidation patterns.
• Monitor and optimize platform performance, identifying bottlenecks and implementing improvements.
• Act as a partner to product engineering teams, understanding their needs and providing platform solutions.
• Build and maintain shared libraries, SDKs, and internal APIs that improve developer productivity.
• Create documentation, examples, and guidelines for consuming platform services.
• Embed testability in designs: meaningful unit and functional tests, contract tests between services, and automated checks.
• Ensure new features are instrumented with high-quality analytics in Mixpanel.
• Drive post-incident reviews and systemic improvements when things break.
• Mentor senior and mid-level engineers through design guidance, pairing, and thoughtful code review.
• Help define and uphold engineering standards: coding conventions, architecture patterns, and documentation norms.

Nice to Have

• Experience in healthcare, digital health, or other regulated domains (HIPAA, PHI, SOC 2, etc.).
• Exposure to EHRs, wearables integrations, or other health data platforms.
