Senior Software Engineer

Vynca is a company dedicated to transforming care for individuals with complex needs. They are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to lead the development of innovative and scalable healthcare technology solutions, providing technical leadership and mentoring engineers to ensure high technical standards are met.

Responsibilities:

• Architect, design, and lead the development of scalable, high-performance systems using event-driven architectures (e.g., Apache Kafka, Airflow, Flink) and distributed systems
• Champion best practices in system design, code quality, CI/CD pipelines, and observability (e.g., DataDog, Kibana)
• Own end-to-end delivery of mission-critical products, from concept to deployment, including:
• Real-time data pipelines: design and implement event-streaming and ETL flows that process millions of records per second with low latency
• Batch & streaming hybrid architectures: leverage tools like Kafka Streams, Flink, and Spark Streaming
• Healthcare data integration: ingest, transform, and serve FHIR, CCDA, HL7 V2/V3, and other clinical document standards at scale
• Microservices & customer-facing applications: build resilient, API-driven services with robust versioning and backward compatibility
• Optimize system performance (e.g., API latency reduction, error-rate minimization) through distributed caching, code refactoring, and infrastructure improvements
• Design fault-tolerant, cloud-native solutions (AWS, Kubernetes) with a focus on resilience, cost efficiency, and scalability
• Lead migration/modernization efforts (e.g., legacy system rewrites, data lake/warehouse implementations) while ensuring seamless customer transitions
• Partner with product managers and stakeholders to translate business requirements into technical solutions, advocating for sustainable and innovative approaches
• Drive R&D initiatives to prototype and validate new technologies (e.g., AI/ML integration, real-time analytics)
• Communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences, ensuring alignment across teams

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field (advanced degree preferred)
• 5-7 years in software engineering
• Proficiency in Python and Java, with experience in modern frameworks (e.g., Flask/FastAPI, Spring Boot)
• Mastery of event-driven architectures (Kafka, Kinesis), distributed systems, and cloud platforms (AWS, Kubernetes)
• Strong background in building scalable, real-time data pipelines (Kafka, Flink, Airflow) and hybrid batch/stream systems
• Hands-on experience integrating and processing healthcare data standards: FHIR, CCDA, HL7 V2/V3, DICOM, etc
• Database design (SQL, NoSQL, DynamoDB) and data warehousing (Redshift, BigQuery, Snowflake)
• Demonstrated success in optimizing performance (latency, error rates) and reducing infrastructure costs (AWS)
• Exceptional communication, problem-solving, and collaboration skills; ability to navigate ambiguity and drive consensus
• Experience in healthcare technology or other regulated industries (Medicare/Medicaid, payor systems, EHR integrations)
• Familiarity with real-time analytics, AI/ML integration, or genomic data pipelines
• Track record of innovation in real-time reporting or streaming data products
• Working knowledge of healthcare security and compliance frameworks (HIPAA, HITRUST)
