Software Engineer

Health Data Innovations (HDI) is seeking a mid-level software engineer to develop and maintain Automatix, their internal platform for healthcare data management. The role involves building features, improving workflows, and supporting analysts and operations staff in a hands-on environment.

Responsibilities:

• Build new features and enhance existing functionality across a mature Rails application (models, controllers, views, background jobs)
• Design and modify database schemas (MySQL) to support evolving business requirements
• Create and maintain reporting dashboards, data validation workflows, and batch processing tools
• Write server-rendered UI with ERB templates, jQuery, and AJAX
• Collaborate directly with analysts, operations staff, and management to translate business needs into working software
• Troubleshoot production issues related to data processing, file transfers, and system integrations
• Maintain and extend background job processing for automated data pipelines
• Support management requests for ad hoc custom reports

Requirements:

• 3–5 years of professional software development experience
• Proficiency in Ruby on Rails or similar — comfortable working in a large, established codebase
• Solid working knowledge of SQL and relational databases (MySQL preferred)
• Experience with server-rendered web applications (ERB/HTML/CSS/JavaScript)
• Familiarity with jQuery and traditional DOM-based frontend development
• Understanding of authentication/authorization patterns (LDAP/Active Directory, role-based access control)
• Comfort reading and modifying code you didn't write — this role is primarily enhancement and extension, not greenfield
• Ability to work independently and manage your own priorities in a small-team environment
• Experience with legacy Rails applications (Rails 4.x / Rails 5.x)
• Background in healthcare data, EDI, or data pipeline/ETL systems
• Familiarity with background job frameworks (Delayed Job, Sidekiq, or similar)
• Experience with file-based integrations (FTP/SFTP, CSV/fixed-width parsing)
• Exposure to SAS or other data processing tools
• Knowledge of gems like CanCanCan, CarrierWave, will_paginate, or Devise/Adauth
• Experience working with Claude Code extension in VS Code
• Knowledge of AWS cloud services and cloud-based application architectures preferred
• Experience with modern development and DevOps tools and practices, including CI/CD pipelines, source control, automation, containerization, and infrastructure management preferred
