Senior Software Engineer, Platform

Zus is a shared health data platform designed to accelerate healthcare data interoperability by providing easy-to-use patient data via API, embedded components, and direct EHR integrations. Founded in 2021 by Jonathan Bush, co-founder and former CEO of athenahealth, Zus partners with HIEs and other data networks to aggregate patient clinical history and then translates that history into user-friendly information at the point of care. Zus's mission is to catalyze healthcare's greatest inventors by maximizing the value of patient insights - so that they can build up, not around.

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Engineer to join our Platform team that delivers the services that provide the data to applications. The ideal candidate will be excited to take on the challenge of processing, storing and delivering the entire health records of millions of patients, providing low latency and high-availability for all operations. You are creative, innovative and love to run experiments to explore the paths to evolve and develop our platform as we scale.

The Platform team is at the heart of everything at Zus. You will work on data services that operate on large scale data using a variety of AWS services (ECS Fargate, Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, etc). You will also work on RESTful services that are used both internally and externally. Go is our language of choice and the team is responsible for deploying, maintaining, and operating its pipelines and services.

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. It’s important to us to know who you are outside of your Slack avatar, whether that’s over dinner, during team sessions, or in the in-between conversations that make collaboration stronger.

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)

Please Note: Research shows that candidates from underrepresented backgrounds often don’t apply unless they meet 100% of the job criteria. While we have worked to consolidate the minimum qualifications for each role, we aren’t looking for someone who checks each box on a page; we’re looking for active learners and people who care about disrupting the current healthcare system with their unique experiences.

We do not conduct interviews by text nor will we send you a job offer unless you've interviewed with multiple people, including the Director of People & Talent, over video interviews. Job scams do exist so please be careful with your personal information.
