Job Description
We are seeking an Associate Software Engineer to join our Healthcare Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) & Billing Development Team. In this role, you will contribute directly to modernizing and building scalable healthcare billing platforms – encompassing both claims processing and patient/provider invoicing workflows – alongside clearinghouse integrations and automated payment systems.
Working under the guidance of senior developers and engineering leaders, you will apply foundational software engineering concepts to tactical coding tasks, write automated unit tests, support continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, and develop deep domain expertise in core billing functions (e.g., EDI 837 claim submissions, 835 payment posting, other EDI responses, and invoicing engines).
This entry-level position is ideal for an early-career developer who is eager to learn, enthusiastic about modern cloud technologies, and ready to grow technically while supporting critical healthcare financial operations.

Experience: 0–2 years of software engineering experience (internships, co-ops, or academic capstone projects included).
- Core Languages: Foundational programming proficiency in at least one object-oriented or functional language (e.g., Java, C#/.NET, Python, or JavaScript/TypeScript).
- Version Control: Basic understanding of Git version control workflows (clone, branch, commit, pull request).
- Data & APIs: Basic knowledge of relational database queries (SQL) and RESTful Web API structures.
- Problem-Solving & Communication: Strong critical thinking skills, a continuous learning mindset, and the ability to articulate technical blockers and ask clarifying questions proactively within an agile team environment.
Preferred Qualifications
- Cloud Concepts: Basic exposure to cloud development environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
- Healthcare & Billing Domain: Foundational understanding of healthcare data standards or core RCM billing workflows, specifically claims management (e.g., EDI 837/835 transaction files, HIPAA compliance) and invoicing systems (e.g., patient statement generation, fee schedules, billing reconciliation).
- Automated Testing: Familiarity with automated unit testing frameworks (e.g., JUnit, NUnit, Jest).
- Tooling: Basic exposure to modern DevOps tooling, CI/CD pipelines, or messaging architectures.
Education
- Degree: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Health Informatics, or a related STEM field (or equivalent practical experience / completed accredited coding bootcamp) .
