Development Manager

LEARN & LEAD

A recent grad finds major career growth

Choe came to InterSystems fresh out of school. With the help of company-provided educational resources and mentorship, she quickly found her footing. Today, she manages the development team for the EMR application, which creates better care processes for hospitals around the globe. In her role, she focuses on keeping her team in sync and clearing blockers so that devs can focus on building software with a real impact.

There was no set path laid out for me at InterSystems. I tackled problems that felt interesting and important to me, and my managers helped clear the path for me.

HEALTH TECH

Tackling tech with real impact

Robinson leads the development team that’s in charge of the user interface of Intersystems’ HealthShare product. He and his team tackle a tough challenge: keeping a large enterprise product up to date and relevant by introducing updates and new tech — while keeping the legacy codebase running smoothly. The payoff for the hard work? Robinson’s team ultimately helps doctors and patients make more informed decisions.

We support one another socially and professionally and recognize that we can accomplish more as a team than we can as 10 smart individuals.

Director of Product Management for Data Platforms

SIMPLY POWERFUL

Building solutions for innovators

Fried leads the product and development teams in building and maintaining a small but powerful portfolio of products. The team excels in making complicated technology as simple as possible for its customers, which is no easy feat. Upcoming projects include a cloud offering for InterSystems to provide products as a service and a new capability that will put machine learning into the hands of more developers.

Building great products is much more than building what people say they want. You have to understand the fundamental problem and how you can solve it better than anybody else.

An Insider's view of InterSystems

What’s the vibe like in the office?

I’ve found InterSystems a great place to work. I love the company size. It’s big enough to have a global impact, but small enough to maintain a real community feel. Everyone you work with has high standards and is capable of achieving their goals.

I often rely on the collaborative nature of the company to provide my clients and prospects with the best experience possible, combining the skillsets of development, product support, learning services, and other departments to deliver a single, unified network to our clients.

Jess

Sales Engineer

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

InterSystems invests in my strengths and encourages me to take ownership of my career. The supportive culture of excellence made my way forward feel natural. Though I came to the company as a developer, I was quickly put on a leadership track and am now managing a team that won’t stop growing.

Michelle

Development Manager

How do you empower your team to be more creative?

We are a company of curious problem solvers – we love to learn. We foster a culture of ownership of one’s work and a sense of personal responsibility for helping our clients succeed. We maintain a collaborative culture while respecting the individual, embracing unique problem solving styles, and learning from each other.
