Fullstack Software Engineering Co-op

Job Description

Who we are

Zus is a shared health data platform designed to accelerate healthcare data interoperability by providing easy-to-use patient data via API, embedded components, and direct EHR integrations. Founded in 2021 by Jonathan Bush, co-founder and former CEO of athenahealth, Zus partners with HIEs and other data networks to aggregate patient clinical history and then translates that history into user-friendly information at the point of care. Zus’s mission is to catalyze healthcare’s greatest inventors by maximizing the value of patient insights – so that they can build up, not around.

What we’re looking for…

We are looking for an eager software engineering co-op to help build the next generation of healthtech tools. This co-op will report to our Software Engineering Manager on the Gaps team. 

You are intellectually curious and love learning new technologies. You are hungry to make a difference in a fluid, early-stage startup and are confident in working in a cross-functional culture. With broad needs and a small team, we’re looking for engineers eager to jump into the next challenge and committed to learning what we need to make the magic happen.

The Gaps team identifies situations in which a patient is potentially receiving sub-optimal care and surfaces those to providers.  We use industry standard algorithms to identify these gaps and then surface them to users via our web application.  The co-op on this team will act as a full-stack engineer with a focus on building out our web application to surface care gaps to providers.  This team’s tech stack includes: Typescript, React, Tailwind, Node, and SQL, so experience with these or related technologies is definitely a plus.

As part of our early team, you will

• Roll up your sleeves and build production-ready technology 
• Collaborate with your colleagues to build high quality solutions that scale 

You are a good fit because you demonstrate

• The ability to overcome challenging obstacles independently
• The self-awareness to recognize when outside assistance is needed
• The desire to learn about building software in a professional environment
• The willingness to incorporate feedback into your work
• The ability to write clean code 
• Enjoy solving problems
• A self-starter attitude that shows that you are ready for the fast, and sometimes unstructured, nature of an early startup
• Interested in working with healthcare data and APIs 
• Located in the Boston area and willing to join us here on a regular basis for collaborative work 
• Able to work on a co-op from July through December 

This person will need to be in our Boston a few days per week. This person needs to be enrolled in school and work from July through December.

We will offer you…

• Competitive compensation that reflects the value you bring to the team

• Opportunity to work alongside a passionate team that is determined to help change the world (and have fun doing it).
