Senior Scala Developer

Smarter Health's vision is to make healthcare accessible, affordable and accountable.

Through data and technology, we simplify the healthcare ecosystem by facilitating the interaction between stakeholders, enabling:

• Patients to get the right care at the right cost,
• Providers to focus on attending to patients while eliminating unnecessary processes,
• Payors to better serve their policyholders at their time of need.

We offer

• Full remote work. You can work from home every day.
• A solid tech team. We are just a few people, so everyone counts. We make sure that when we hire someone, the person is a good technical and cultural match
• Flexible working hours. Get the job done at your own pace.

We value

• Ownership and responsibility.
• Teamwork, open communication, and respect for one another.
• Continuous learning and improvement.

Responsibilities:

• Hands-on developer who writes high quality, clean and maintainable code that is modular, functional and testable.
• Take ownership and rapidly iterate while collaborating actively as part of a small and talented team.
• Lead the design, implementation, and delivery for engineering efforts across a program.
• Create or introduce, test, and deploy new technology to optimize the service.
• Actively provide constructive feedback to other developers through code reviews or different channels.

Required skills:

• Experience with Scala. Like a lot of it. This will be your bread and butter.
• Experience with webapp frameworks such as Play.
• Experience building REST APIs.
• Working knowledge of relational databases such as Postgres/MySQL.
• Experience with micro-service design.
• Desire to work for an early stage startup and contribute at a high level.
• Experience designing scalable fault tolerant platforms that are resilient to infrastructure failures.

Bonus skills:

• Experience with HTML5, CSS and at least one of the modern Javascript frameworks: React, Vue or Angular.
• Experience with other languages like Java, Kotlin or Python. But any other would give you points as well.
• Experience working in an Agile environment. A real one, not Corporate Agile, Agilefall, Fragile, or any other of those bastardized versions of Agile.
• Test driven design. Someone who thinks first about tests would be a great addition.
