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.
