Description
We are seeking a senior engineer to join our Data Acquisition (DA) team. Engineers at Zus have the opportunity to collaborate with our founding product and engineering leaders to bring our vision to the nation’s healthcare entrepreneurs.
The engineer joining this team will help build tools that interact with external health data networks to collect information about our patients and load it into the Zus data stores at high volume, as well as services used by customers and internal stakeholders to request that data.
You will work on data pipelines that operate on large scale data using a variety of AWS services (Step Functions, Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, etc). You will also work on RESTful services that are used both internally and externally. Go is our language of choice, although we also have some components written in NodeJS.
The team is responsible for deploying, maintaining, and operating its pipelines and services. Our Zus engineering teams are all US-based, and we hire only in the US.
In Data Acquisition, we work across a collection of US timezones and also collaborate with our development partners in Central European Time.
Zus supports both remote work and hybrid work in the Boston area with an office near South Station, and our teams are a mix of both styles of work.
We actively work to make sure all voices are heard and information is shared regardless of your work location.
You're a good fit because you...
- Are scrappy and you move fast
- Have experience with operationally stable and cost efficient data pipelines
- Enjoy owning your work and seeing it deploy safely in production
- Have experience building backend software in any language (we use mostly Go with a bit of Node)
- Have some experience with at least one of the following: deployment technologies (Github actions, CodeDeploy, CircleCI), cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP)), and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Chef)
- Are excited to ~ finally! ~ enable a true digital revolution in healthcare
- Thrive amid the changing landscape of a growing and evolving startup
- Enjoy collaboration and solving unique problems
- Are comfortable working remotely (EST/CST preferred as that is where our team is located) and are willing to travel for in person collaboration occasionally
It would be awesome if you were...
- Experienced in building and running large-scale systems in the cloud
- Experienced in building services and APIs used by third-party developers
- Knowledgeable about application security
- Experienced in working with healthcare data and APIs
- Familiar with the FHIR and/or TEFCA standards
Additional Information
This role can be hybrid in Boston or mostly remote. We’re flexible, because we trust our people to do great work wherever they’re most productive. We’re proudly remote-first, but not strangers by any means. We get together a few times a year to build real rapport, align on strategy, and connect as people.
We believe strong culture is built on trust, transparency, and showing up online or or in person. So yes, work from where you thrive… and plan on the occasional gathering where the strategy is sharp, the conversations are candid, and the snacks are usually excellent.
We will offer you…
- Competitive compensation that reflects the value you bring to the team a combination of cash and equity
- Robust benefits that include health insurance, wellness benefits, 401k with a match, unlimited PTO
- Opportunity to work alongside a passionate team that is determined to help change the world (and have fun doing it)
