Senior Software Engineer

DrFirst pioneers software solutions and services designed to optimize healthcare provider access to patient information, improve the doctor’s clinical view of the patient at the time of care, and enable more effective, efficient administration and collaboration across a patient’s circle of caregivers. Our growth is driven by a commitment to innovation and reliability across a wide array of service areas, including Medication History and E-prescribing, Secure Messaging and Clinical Data Sharing.

We are looking for a Senior Java Engineer to join the team who loves to code and build first of kind, ground breaking applications that have been changing the way doctors and clinicians worldwide interact with and care for their patients.

* Coding. Our engineers, not matter what level, never go hands off. We think it’s important to be close to the code and always be a contributor. We work with several different technologies, mostly on the Java stack. As a senior engineer, we’re looking for a breadth of experience in a lot of languages, and expertise in at least one: Java, Javascript, and Ruby are highest on our list. You should also be up to speed with frameworks like Spring, OSGI and Hibernate, and on practices like TDD and continuous integration. * Learning. Our engineering team is full of life-long learners. It’s important to stay up on our craft and always keep an eye on what’s next, and what’s best. Open Source contributions and pet projects are a way of life here, it’s not only about the day job. It’s important we learn from each other. * Problem solving. The problems we have to solve are mind boggling. Often times, we are challenged with doing something that no other company has done before. This takes critical thinking, root cause analysis and issue dissection by the team to come up with a best solution. * Mentoring. Teaching and coaching is an integral part of this role. Bringing your less experienced peers up to speed on best practices and new skills/languages is key. * Delivering. This takes a start-up mentality and a laser focus to get the highest quality products out the door here. We do not negotiate on the level of sophistication and quality we offer to our customers. You must be ready to manage competing priorities, pivot and adjust quickly, and always think the big picture.

* 8+ years industry experience as software engineer working on Java technologies * BS Degree in Computer Science or related discipline (MS/PHD preferred) * Passionate about technology and coding * Really strong in open source libraries /frameworks
