As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you'll build scalable applications, collaborate with teams, and provide technical leadership in healthcare data management.
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.
What we’re looking for
We’re looking for an experienced Senior Engineer to join our Applications (App) team, which delivers the core web and embedded applications our customers use every day. The ideal candidate is passionate about building intuitive, reliable, and scalable user-facing products that empower healthcare providers to access and act on critical patient data.
As a member of the App team, you’ll work on everything from React-based user interfaces to the APIs that power them.

Our stack includes React, TypeScript, GraphQL and RESTful APIs, and AWS services like ECS, Lambda, and DynamoDB. We’re looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, values clean and maintainable code, and is eager to shape how users interact with the future of healthcare data.

- Build and operate web applications and the APIs that power them
- Collaborate with team members and across Engineering to iteratively prototype and develop new functionality
- Provide technical leadership, contributing to the architecture and design of the teams systems

You're a good fit because
- Are scrappy and you move fast
- Can work across the tech stack, from front end to back end. We totally get that you may be more comfortable in one area over another – we are looking for versatility, not perfection
- Enjoy owning your work and seeing it deploy safely in production
- 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
It would be awesome if you were
- Experienced in building high quality consumer-facing UIs
- Familiar with our tech stack [ReactJS (Typescript), Tailwind CSS, Go, GraphQL, Terraform, FHIR]
- Knowledgeable about application security
- Experienced in working with healthcare data and APIs
- Familiar with the FHIR and/or TEFCA standards
- In the Boston metro and excited to collaborate in person on a hybrid schedule, or are remote (EST/CST) but willing to travel for in person collaboration occasionally.
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.
