The Staff Software Engineer will work on data pipelines and RESTful services, focusing on collecting and managing health data for the Zus platform.
Who we are
Zus is a shared health data platform designed to accelerate healthcare data interoperability by providing easy-to-use patient data via API, embedded components, and direct EHR integrations. Founded in 2021 by Jonathan Bush, co-founder and former CEO of athenahealth, Zus partners with HIEs and other data networks to aggregate patient clinical history and then translates that history into user-friendly information at the point of care. Zus's mission is to catalyze healthcare's greatest inventors by maximizing the value of patient insights - so that they can build up, not around.
We are seeking a senior engineer to join our Data Acquisition (DA) team. Engineers at Zus have the opportunity to collaborate with our founding product and engineering leaders to bring our vision to the nation’s healthcare entrepreneurs. This team is responsible for collecting health data from a broad range of internal and external sources and making that data useful for users of the Zus platform.
The engineer joining this team will help build tools that interact with external health data networks to collect information about our patients and load it into the Zus data stores at high volume, as well as services used by customers and internal stakeholders to request that data. The ideal candidate will be excited to take on the challenge of unifying diverse health care data sources to bring a clear picture of patient needs to our customers in ways that the developers of said data sources never thought or cared about.
You will work on data pipelines that operate on large scale data using a variety of AWS services (Step Functions, Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, etc). You will also work on RESTful services that are used both internally and externally. Go is our language of choice, although we also have some components written in NodeJS. The team is responsible for deploying, maintaining, and operating its pipelines and services.
Our Zus engineering teams are all US-based, and we hire only in the US. In Data Acquisition, we work across a collection of US timezones and also collaborate with our development partners in Central European Time. Zus supports both remote work and hybrid work in the Boston area with an office near South Station, and our teams are a mix of both styles of work. We actively work to make sure all voices are heard and information is shared regardless of your work location.
You're a good fit because you...
- Are scrappy and you move fast
- Have experience with operationally stable and cost efficient data pipelines
- Enjoy owning your work and seeing it deploy safely in production
- Have experience building backend software in any language (we use mostly Go with a bit of Node)
- Have some experience with at least one of the following: deployment technologies (Github actions, CodeDeploy, CircleCI), cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP)), and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Chef)
- Are excited to ~ finally! ~ enable a true digital revolution in healthcare
- Thrive amid the changing landscape of a growing and evolving startup
- Enjoy collaboration and solving unique problems
- Are comfortable working remotely (EST/CST preferred as that is where our team is located) and are willing to travel for in person collaboration occasionally
It would be awesome if you were...
- Experienced in building and running large-scale systems in the cloud
- Experienced in building services and APIs used by third-party developers
- Knowledgeable about application security
- Experienced in working with healthcare data and APIs
- Familiar with the FHIR and/or TEFCA standards
We will offer you…
• Competitive compensation that reflects the value you bring to the team a combination of cash and equity
• Robust benefits that include health insurance, wellness benefits, 401k with a match, unlimited PTO
• Opportunity to work alongside a passionate team that is determined to help change the world (and have fun doing it)
Please Note: Research shows that candidates from underrepresented backgrounds often don’t apply unless they meet 100% of the job criteria. While we have worked to consolidate the minimum qualifications for each role, we aren’t looking for someone who checks each box on a page; we’re looking for active learners and people who care about disrupting the current healthcare system with their unique experiences.
We do not conduct interviews by text nor will we send you a job offer unless you've interviewed with multiple people, including the Director of People & Talent, over video interviews. Job scams do exist so please be careful with your personal information.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
