THE TEAM

Our Health Engineering Solutions (HES) team works side by side with customers to articulate a vision for success, and then make it happen. We know success doesn’t happen by accident. It takes the right team of people, working together on the right solutions for the customer. We are looking for a seasoned Full-Stack Engineer who will be a key driver to make this happen.
Our team supports the development and maintenance of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) End-Stage Renal Disease Quality Reporting System (EQRS) application. These mission-critical systems, used daily by tens of thousands of healthcare providers nationwide, ensure patients receive the highest quality of care. Leveraging modern technologies, DevOps practices, and cloud-based infrastructure, our dynamic work environment involves multiple project teams collaborating toward a common vision of delivering an integrated solution.

You will work with Angular, Java, PostgreSQL, and Spring REST APIs to develop robust and scalable web applications and backend services deployed on AWS cloud infrastructure. You will be involved in all stages of the software development lifecycle, including designing, developing, testing, and deploying Java and web applications. These applications will support the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) programs, directly impacting healthcare quality for ESRD patients across the country.
The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of software development principles and a proven track record in full-stack development. Experience with agile software development methodologies is a must, as we value collaboration and flexibility in our approach to project management.
This is an excellent opportunity to work with a team of experienced professionals and contribute to the development of high-quality software solutions. If you are passionate about technology, eager to learn, and want your work to impact systems that collect healthcare data used by hundreds of thousands of daily users, we want to (virtually) meet you!
