We’re on the hunt for a back-end Software Engineer to join our Interoperability team. You’ll be part of a cross-functional, agile squad focused on building and enhancing our clinical data repositories, interoperable APIs, and extraction tooling – technology that is used across international healthcare systems every single day.

In the ever-evolving world of digital health, the way electronic health records are shaped, managed, and shared must continuously adapt. You’ll help us modernise our interoperability platform, balancing new architectural approaches with the reality of existing systems, always keeping our customers’ needs at the forefront.

What you’ll do

• Engage across the full development lifecycle – from design and implementation to delivery and support.
• Contribute to and influence engineering best practices, coding standards, and technical decision-making.
• Solve meaningful real-world problems, designing code for enterprise-scale applications used by clinicians, administrators, and healthcare organisations globally.
• Work across a blend of legacy and modern technologies, approaching challenges with curiosity and resilience.
• Build and enhance APIs that support the secure and seamless exchange of clinical information within a complex healthcare ecosystem.
• Partner with clients and internal stakeholders to translate user stories, business needs, and long-term outcomes into thoughtful engineering solutions.
• Self-manage your workload and proactively think ahead – anticipating next steps and understanding the “bigger picture” of how your work fits into the product landscape.

Additional Responsibilities for Senior Engineers

• Mentor and support junior and intermediate engineers, helping them grow their technical and architectural thinking.
• Lead and influence architectural decisions, ensuring our interoperability platforms evolve in scalable, future-focused ways.
• Advocate for engineering excellence, reliability, and maintainability across the codebase.

What you'll bring

Experience

• Minimum of 5 years’ experience as a Software Engineer working on production, enterprise-grade applications.
• Solid understanding of software architecture and design principles, with demonstrated ability to evaluate, troubleshoot, and improve complex systems.

Technical Skills

• Proficiency in Java is essential.
• Experience with relational databases (Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server).
• Familiarity with cloud technologies – AWS preferred.
• Bonus points for experience with FHIR, automated testing frameworks (Junit, CukeTest), or Python.

Who you are

• A keen problem solver who enjoys tackling both legacy and modern technical challenges.
• Someone who thinks ahead – proactive, structured, and able to connect day-to-day tasks to the broader product direction.
• Able to write clean, thoughtful code suited for enterprise applications, balancing technical quality with real-world constraints.
• A collaborative communicator who can translate complexity for others, and support less experienced engineers.
• Comfortable working both independently and within fast-moving, cross-functional teams.
