Natera is building apps and services that run inside the clinician's EHR. This is a hands-on role.
You will build SMART on FHIR apps that launch from Epic, Oracle Health (Cerner) and other
EHRs, the FHIR services and data model behind them, and CDS Hooks services that bring
Natera ordering and results into the provider's workflow. You will work in a small team with
product and our wider EHR integration group, and you will handle patient data under HIPAA
every day.
• Build and ship SMART on FHIR apps: EHR launch and standalone launch, OAuth 2.0 with
PKCE, backend services authorization, scopes and token handling.
• Design and build the server side: FHIR R4 APIs, mapping to our internal data model,
profiles and extensions.
• Build CDS Hooks services with prefetch that respond within EHR time limits.
• Take apps through EHR vendor onboarding and go-live, starting with Epic (Vendor
Services and Showroom), then Oracle Health and others. Work with health system IT on
build and testing.

days of hire.
• Must maintain a current status on Natera training requirements.
• BS in computer science, a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 6+ years of software development, with at least 3 building EHR integrations in production.
• Hands-on SMART on FHIR: you have built and shipped an app that launches inside an
EHR, not only consumed FHIR data.
• Strong FHIR R4: resource modeling, search, and terminology (LOINC, SNOMED, ICD-10).
• Production go-live with Epic. Oracle Health (Cerner), athenahealth, MEDITECH or others
a plus.
• Backend services in Java and Spring Boot or similar, on AWS.
