- Use CI/CD pipelines to build, validate, and ship changes safely
- Collaborate with product, QA, engineers, and other stakeholders to understand needs and deliver solutions
- Troubleshoot issues and improve reliability, performance, usability, and maintainability
- Learn and apply secure software practices, especially important in healthcare environments
- Use modern AI tools to accelerate development while maintaining quality and correctness
What you’ll learn
- How commercial software teams plan and deliver work using modern engineering practices
- Practical experience with version control, code reviews, automated testing, and CI/CD pipelines
- Working in a regulated and problem-rich domain where quality, privacy, and reliability matter
- Communicating progress, tradeoffs, and technical decisions to different audiences
What we’re looking for
- Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related field
- Experience with at least one programming language (preferably JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, C#, or similar)
