Role overview
At H1, we believe access to the best healthcare information is a basic human right. Our mission is to provide a platform that can optimally inform every doctor interaction globally, promoting health equity and building trust in healthcare systems. Product Engineering plays a pivotal role in developing and delivering our consumer-facing applications, processing data from upstream sources, constructing robust data pipelines, and transforming data for downstream use. The Product Engineering Digital Health team builds and scales systems powering the Find Care user platform, including Find Care API, Find Care Flat File Delivery, Find Care UI, and Network Universe, enabling customers to search, access, and integrate healthcare data into their workflows. As we expand into new markets and launch new API versions, our team must grow to meet increasing demands.
Responsibilities
- Contribute to API evolution efforts to reduce redundancy, optimize payload size, and improve usability (e.g., sub-resources, summary objects, cleaner response structures)
- Help evolve data pipelines and transformation workflows that support API and flat file delivery across the platform
- Help define and implement scalable integration patterns (APIs and file-based delivery) to support internal and external data exchange
- Drive system performance and scalability improvements as data volume and product complexity grow
- Troubleshoot complex system and data issues, establishing best practices across reliability, observability, testing, and data quality
- Ensure data security, integrity, and compliance with governance and regulatory standards
- Leverage AI-first development practices (e.g., Claude, Copilot) to improve speed and quality of engineering output
Requirements
- 7 - 8 Years of Strong coding skills in Python or NodeJS for high-availability API development
- Experience designing and operating data systems and pipelines at scale
- Familiarity with orchestration tools such as Apache Airflow
- Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or Terraform
- Experience with databases such as PostgreSQL
- Experience with Git, JIRA, and CI/CD platforms (e.g., CircleCI)
- Proven experience designing and evolving external-facing APIs, including versioning, pagination, and deprecation strategies
- As a Senior Engineer, you are a self-starter who thrives in ambiguity and takes ownership across systems and projects
- You bring deep expertise in API design, data engineering, and distributed systems, along with the ability to influence technical direction and drive alignment across teams
- You write clean, maintainable, and scalable code, and set a high bar for engineering quality
- You have strong experience diagnosing complex system and data issues and driving improvements
- You have deep experience designing and evolving RESTful APIs, including versioning, pagination, and backward compatible changes
- You are comfortable contributing to technical discussions and design reviews
- You collaborate effectively with engineering, product, and data teams
Nice to have
- Experience with ElasticSearch, ETL/API design, healthcare data domains, or customer-facing data delivery systems is a plus
