Software Development Engineer-III Backend (Gravity)

Job description

Engineering at Innovaccer With every line of code, we accelerate our customers success, turning complex challenges into innovative solutions. Collaboratively, we transform each data point we gather into valuable insights for our customers. Join us and be part of a team thats turning dreams of better healthcare into reality, one line of code at a time. Together, were shaping the future and making a meaningful impact on the world. About the Role Were looking for a **Software Development Engineer III (Backend)** to own the architecture and evolution of the interoperability platform that powers secure healthcare data exchange across our products. Youll lead mission-critical integrations connecting EMR/EHR systems, practice management platforms, laboratories, payers, and external partners and shape the long-term technical strategy for how that data moves. This is a high-impact, hands-on role for someone who combines deep healthcare interoperability expertise with strong software engineering fundamentals. Youll design integration solutions using standards like **HL7 v2, FHIR, CDA/CCDA, and X12/EDI**, working with engines such as Rhapsody, Mirth Connect, Cloverleaf, or Corepoint. Beyond implementation, youll set technical direction, improve platform reliability, mentor engineers, and partner closely with Product, Implementation, and Customer Success to build systems that are secure, scalable, and built to last processing large volumes of healthcare transactions without compromising on compliance. A Day in the Life **Architecture Technical Direction** - Own the design and evolution of complex interoperability solutions spanning multiple healthcare systems, building scalable, cloud-native integration architecture that holds up at volume. - Lead architecture reviews, set engineering standards, and drive technical decisions that balance immediate priorities with the platforms long-term direction. - Evaluate emerging interoperability standards and push modernization moving legacy integrations toward API-first and event-driven patterns where it makes sense. **Building Shipping** - Build and maintain healthcare interfaces across HL7 v2, FHIR, CDA/CCDA, X12/EDI, REST, and SOAP, using Python, Go, Java, or similar. - Develop reusable integration frameworks and shared tooling that make the whole team faster. **Reliability Security** - Own production reliability for critical integrations retries, idempotency, monitoring, alerting, and error recovery for workflows that cant afford to fail quietly. - Lead incident investigations and root-cause analysis, and take part in on-call for critical services. - Build with HIPAA and PHI handling front of mind encryption, authentication, authorization, and audit trails arent an afterthought here. **Mentorship Collaboration** - Mentor engineers through design reviews, code reviews, and pairing. - Work closely with Product, RD, Implementation, and Customer Success to turn complex requirements into solutions that actually ship. - Champion good engineering habits automated testing, CI/CD, observability, documentation. **What success looks like in your first 6 12 months:** youre owning technical delivery on critical interoperability initiatives end to end, youve measurably improved reliability and observability across integration services, youve set standards and reusable frameworks the team builds on, and Product/RD/Implementation see you as the go-to person for interoperability strategy. What You Need **Must-Haves** - 6 9 years of software engineering experience, with significant time spent building enterprise integration or healthcare interoperability solutions. - Deep, hands-on expertise with HL7 v2, FHIR, CDA/CCDA, X12/EDI, and healthcare messaging workflows. - Experience with integration engines such as Rhapsody or comparable healthcare integration platforms. - Strong backend engineering skills in Python, Go, or Java. - Solid grounding in SQL/relational databases query optimization, data modeling, ETL. - Experience designing RESTful APIs, SOAP services, and distributed integration architectures. - Hands-on experience building cloud-native applications on AWS (preferred), Azure, or GCP. - Experience with resilient distributed systems messaging, async processing, fault tolerance, retries, idempotency, high availability. - A track record of leading architecture discussions, mentoring engineers, and driving engineering excellence across teams. - Strong communication skills you can explain a gnarly technical tradeoff to both an engineer and a non-technical stakeholder. **Good to Have** - Experience integrating with EMR/EHR or Practice Management systems (Allscripts, NextGen, Epic, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Cerner, or similar). - Familiarity with event-driven architectures and Kafka. - Exposure to observability platforms like New Relic or KFuse. - Experience with Docker and Kubernetes. - Familiarity with US healthcare workflows, HIPAA, CMS requirements, and payer-provider integrations. - We know engineers with this exact combination of deep interoperability depth and platform-scale engineering experience are rare if youre a strong distributed-systems engineer without direct healthcare exposure but youre excited to go deep on the domain, wed still love to talk. **Here s What We Offer** - Generous Leaves: Enjoy generous leave benefits of up to 40 days. - Parental Leave: Leverage one of industrys best parental leave policies to spend time with your new addition. - Sabbatical: Want to focus on skill development, pursue an academic career, or just take a break Weve got you covered. - Health Insurance: We offer comprehensive health insurance to support you and your family, covering medical expenses related to illness, disease, or injury. Extending support to the family members who matter most. - Care Program: Whether it s a celebration or a time of need, we ve got you covered with care vouchers to mark major life events.
