Staff Software Engineer (Data Integrations)

Join Commure, a healthcare technology company, as a Staff Software Engineer on the Data Integrations team. In this role, you will set the technical direction for our platform, own the architecture of our data movement systems, and anticipate scaling and reliability challenges. You will also mentor senior and staff engineers, run architecture and design reviews, and take ownership of complex, cross-system initiatives. The ideal candidate will have 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, deep experience building and operating distributed systems at scale, and production experience with GCP and container orchestration.

• Set the technical direction for the platform, making decisions on what to build and how to execute.
• Own the architecture of the systems that move data through the platform, evolving them as scale increases.
• Mentor Senior and Staff engineers, run architecture and design reviews, and push the technical bar higher.
• The ability to translate business goals into technical direction, and technical tradeoffs into language non-engineers can act on
• A history of leveling up the engineers around you
• 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a substantial chunk at Staff-equivalent scope: architectural decisions on multi-quarter projects, made under real constraints, that you'd still defend today
• Real depth in the boring-but-critical layers. Networking and egress (NAT, static IPs, connection lifecycle, DNS, TLS), the database, the container runtime. You've been the person the org turns to when something below the application layer is misbehaving
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent extensive experience
• Deep experience building and operating distributed systems at scale, high-throughput pipelines, data-intensive services. You can talk about the non-obvious failure modes, not just the happy path
• Strong data-layer and concurrency judgment. You've made a relational database (Postgres or similar) do more than it wanted to, and you know when to reach for a DB lock, when Redis is the right tool, and when the right move is a design that doesn't need either
• Production experience with GCP and container orchestration (Kubernetes, Knative, or similar serverless-on-k8s), and fluency in a modern backend language (Python strongly preferred; Go or similar is a plus)
• Healthcare integrations experience — HL7 v2, FHIR, and EHRs like Epic, Cerner, or Athenahealth. We can teach the domain; we're hiring for the systems judgment above
• Experience with the compliance envelope this work lives inside (HIPAA, SOC 2) and the security posture that comes with handling PHI
