It includes modules for billing, scheduling, workflow, electronic medical records, lab results and office workflow. The client application and the server application can run on either a Windows or Mac platform (others to follow).
We’re looking for software developers who enjoy solving hard problems and who thrive on building complex software that can make a difference. The role of Software Developer is to translate new ideas into powerful features by applying solid design principles and writing robust, extensible code.

The incumbent will have an opportunity to work in such diverse areas as human-computer interaction, distributed computing, security, public key encryption, code optimization and messaging. The incumbent will need to develop a comprehensive knowledge of how our products are used by physicians as they practice medicine, how support staff use the products to manage the medical office, and how our product fits into the larger national framework for storing and exchanging medical information.
This role requires extensive experience using a range of Java technologies, and a good understanding of design patterns and other software engineering concepts. Knowledge of the core Java libraries is required. The incumbent will be working in a standards?driven development environment, following and improving on a set of best practices. Working experience with iterative code refactoring and agile development would be beneficial.
Attention to detail, excellent organizational skills and analytical thinking are a must. This position requires strong communications skills; tact and diplomacy are crucial to maintaining co-operative relations between the key stake-holders in the development process. The ability to communicate with both technical (other developers) and non-technical (customers, management) people is a requirement.
