Role
Who you are
- [Required] Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent extensive experience
- 10+ years of professional software development industry experience
- Proficiency in backend languages like Python, Go, or C++
- Proficiency in frontend languages like Javascript, HTML, CSS

- Proven track record of designing and implementing end-to-end solutions and making successful architectural decisions
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
What the job involves
- At Commure, the AI Integration Team plays a crucial role in supporting the company’s core products, Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) and Ambient, by ensuring seamless data flow between our platform and over 40 Electronic Medical Records (EMRs)
- This team is responsible for fetching vital Encounter and Appointment data from multiple EMRs and, when necessary, writing data back to these systems
- The team's work ensures the interoperability and smooth exchange of healthcare data via HL7, enabling healthcare providers to deliver more efficient and accurate care while streamlining administrative processes
- We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer who takes ownership end-to-end, moves fast, and wants their work to directly impact how care is delivered
- Design and implement complex integration solutions between our platform and third-party healthcare systems (EHRs, insurance providers, etc.) while ensuring high performance, reliability, and scalability
- Utilize the latest developments in LLM technology to automate the reverse-engineering of electronic health records
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (product, engineering, and healthcare) to gather integration requirements, define technical approaches, and prioritize tasks based on business needs
- Contribute to the technical direction of the integration platform by proposing and implementing improvements to architecture, tools, and technologies
- Take ownership of end-to-end integration workflows, from design and development through to deployment and post-launch monitoring
- Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, troubleshoot integration issues, and proactively improve the reliability of integrations in production environments
- Ensure all integration work adheres to healthcare compliance and security standards (e.g., HIPAA, HL7, FHIR) and collaborate with security teams to protect sensitive data
- Work closely with junior engineers to provide technical guidance and mentorship, helping them solve problems and ensuring high-quality code standards are followed
- Drive the implementation of best practices for integration development, including testing, error handling, version control, and continuous integration
- Collaborate with DevOps and QA teams to implement monitoring and alerting systems that ensure integration reliability and system health in production
- Stay up-to-date with industry trends in healthcare technology, integration patterns, and emerging tools, continuously suggesting and applying innovations that can improve system performance and integration capabilities
- Participate in agile development cycles, contributing to sprint planning, retrospectives, and maintaining a collaborative and efficient working environment
Our take
Today, healthcare providers are tackling the growing challenge of too much paperwork and too little time for patients. Many existing electronic health record (EHR) systems only add to the problem - digital, yes, but often too clunky, time-consuming, and disconnected from the tools doctors actually need. Athelas is tackling this by reimagining how healthcare software works, helping providers spend less time lcicking and more time caring for people.
Athelas offers a full suite of tools that combine AI-powered automation, remote patient monitoring (RPM), and integrated EHR and billing systems. And its newest platform, Athelas AIR, is a next-generation EHR designed to unify clinical and administrative workflows in one intelligent system. By embedding revenue cycle management (RCM) and ambient AI documentation directly into the platform, Athelas AIR streamlines everything from charting to billing. And the goal is simple, to reduce administrative burden, improve margins, and ultimately, give healthcare teams a smoother, smarter way to work.
The company has made significant strides in recent years. After reaching unicorn status in 2022 and merging with Commure in 2023, Athelas is now valued at around $6B and continues to expand its platform. Alongside growing adoption of Athelas AIR, the company has recently secured FDA clearance for its Athelas Home device - an AI-powered diagnostic tool that delivers lab-grade blood test results from a fingerstick in minutes. This allows care teams to test, diagnose, and make decisions in a single visit. With a growing customer base and a broader push into AI-driven diagnostics as well as software, Athelas is ready to be a leader in end-to-end, intelligent healthcare infrastructure.
