Job Description

This job was selected by the SpringCube team to help AI, Data and Cloud Engineers discover relevant San Francisco Bay Area employers. Sign up to view the full employer details and apply directly with the hiring company.

Company Overview

The company develops an AI-powered healthcare platform that helps hospital care teams identify patients who may require clinical intervention. Its technology supports clinical decision-making by identifying gaps in traditional workflows and helping healthcare organizations improve patient outcomes and operational efficiency.

The platform is deployed across more than 40 hospitals, with plans for significant expansion. Its engineering team works closely with hospital IT departments and clinical professionals to integrate complex healthcare systems and develop solutions tailored to real-world clinical workflows.

Responsibilities

  • Own engineering work for hospital integrations, from initial technical discovery through reliable production data delivery.
  • Build, maintain, and troubleshoot connections to electronic health record and other hospital systems.
  • Handle authentication, API integrations, data mapping, and integration monitoring.
  • Work directly with hospital IT and clinical teams to investigate technical problems and understand operational requirements.
  • Test proposed solutions with the people who use them and refine implementations based on feedback.
  • Develop customer-specific tools, analytics, and workflows when existing product functionality does not meet hospital requirements.
  • Identify recurring customer needs and turn successful solutions into reusable connectors, validation tools, and product features.
  • Ensure integrations are reliable, maintainable, and suitable for production healthcare environments.
  • Make technical decisions independently, balancing customer requirements, engineering trade-offs, and long-term product scalability.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience building and operating production software.
  • Strong backend engineering, API development, data modeling, and SQL skills.
  • Experience delivering complex third-party integrations in collaboration with external technical teams.
  • Demonstrated ability to build software around customer workflows and improve solutions based on real-world usage.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to investigate unclear or loosely defined technical requirements.
  • Ability to explain technical trade-offs to customers and internal stakeholders.
  • Comfortable working directly with customers and determining appropriate solutions without relying on fully defined specifications.
  • Proficiency with Python and TypeScript is relevant to the company’s engineering stack.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience founding a company or working as an early engineer with broad ownership of technical challenges.
  • Experience with electronic health record (EHR) systems.
  • Familiarity with healthcare interoperability standards such as HL7 or FHIR.
  • Strong integration engineering judgment, including the ability to work with complex third-party systems.

Work Environment and Expectations

  • The role involves regular collaboration with hospital IT and clinical teams.
  • Engineers are expected to take ownership of ambiguous problems and build practical solutions rather than simply maintain existing interfaces.
  • The position requires hands-on system development, customer interaction, and production integration work.
  • Working hours may vary depending on hospital deployment schedules. Hospital go-lives can occasionally require weeks exceeding 60 hours, although the company emphasizes protecting time for rest.

Interview Process

  • The interview process does not include LeetCode-style exercises or traditional puzzles.
  • Candidates are encouraged to use the practical tools they would normally use on the job, including AI-assisted development tools.
