Job description

Overview

We are looking for a data and backend-oriented Staff Software Engineer to help us advance our clinical AI by designing and building core systems that handle, process, and analyze clinical data at scale. The ideal candidate for this role has a track record of delivering complex features in incrementally valuable releases and with a high bar for quality. While this role focuses on backend systems, strong candidates are able to deliver across the stack.

SmarterDx builds clinical AI that empowers hospitals to achieve 100% chart accuracy for revenue integrity. Our solution helps hospitals tell the most accurate and complete story of the patient and the care that was delivered, which helps them recover millions in earned revenue and improve quality of care scores. Become a Smartian and help optimize the way the healthcare system works for everyone. Learn more at smarterdx.com / careers.
