Senior Software Engineer

What we do

At Founda, we're driven by a deep curiosity about the future of healthcare. Our mission is to build the global infrastructure that empowers innovators to shape tomorrow's healthcare system.

Founda Health is at the forefront of healthcare innovation, redefining how clinical data moves between systems. We are passionate in enabling change, dedicated to overcoming healthcare's connectivity hurdles and ensuring seamless data exchange between electronic healthcare systems and cutting-edge digital health solutions. We aim to free healthcare professionals and digital health companies from administrative burdens, allowing them to prioritize patient care above all else.

As a Senior Software Engineer, your role will be instrumental in advancing healthcare interoperability. We're currently developing a self-service global infrastructure designed to facilitate seamless, secure, and compliant data exchange between data providers (such as care providers) and data consumers (including applications, lab systems, IoT devices, and other care providers). Our mission extends to a global scale, presenting an array of challenges due to diverse healthcare processes, diverse electronic health record (EHR) implementations, unique terminologies, fragmented data (standards), and varying regulations.

Things you could be working on:

• Build a prefetch service that ensures medical images are available on the local PACS right when needed.
• Build a Metrics API that aggregates, stores and exposes tens of millions of data points from different sources that provide insights to our customers.
• Create worldclass developer experience for our platforms.
• Work on a data normalization and terminology layer that ensures a uniform gateway experience independent of the underlying data source that is interacted with.
• Expand our interaction patterns by adding new functional flows in a standardized way.
• Rewrite a performance heavy service from Java to Go.

• We have engineering leadership that has a technical background. We provide mentorship and guidance.
• We are committed to your individual growth and invest in your professional development.
