Senior Software Engineer - Golang - (Remote)

Our Health Engineering Solutions (HES) team works side by side with customers to articulate a vision for success, and then make it happen. We know success doesn't happen by accident. It takes the right team of people, working together on the right solutions for the customer. We are looking for a seasoned Senior Backend Engineer who will be a key driver to make this happen. 

Our team supports the vision to improve patient quality care and consumer decision-making by hospital providers across the country, by collecting, computing, and publicly reporting outcomes-based hospital quality measure data. This contract will serve to develop a human-centric reporting system that allows refinement, filtering, and data comparison, as well as the ability to view supplemental information. Leveraging modern technologies, DevOps practices, and cloud-based infrastructure, our dynamic work environment involves multiple project teams collaborating toward a common vision of delivering an integrated solution.
