Job title: Software Developer
Company name: athenahealth
Location: United States, MA, Watertown
Pay rate: Competitive
Travel: 0-25%
Terms of employment: Salaried employee
Length of employment: Full Time- Perm
Hours: Full time
Onsite: yes
Description:
We?re looking for hackers who want to make a social difference.
Our company, athenahealth, is growing at a meteoric rate, and we?re
aggressively hiring at all levels. Our goal is to bring order to the chaos
of U.S. healthcare, in which hundreds of thousands of medical practices
navigate a Byzantine set of clinical and business processes wrought by
decades of managed care. We do this by offering a software-as-service
solution that embeds insurance rules and clinical processes directly into
our practice management & electronic medical platform. In essence, we are
building an operating system for the medical office that abstracts away
administrative complexity, leaving doctors free to practice medicine.
The development team here is among the best you?d find at any company in
the world. The working environment is friendly and open. The folks that you
will be working with are top-notch, and will probably be some of the best
and brightest folks you?ve ever worked with regardless of where you?re
coming from?folks who would otherwise work at Google, Oracle, hedge funds,
or startups, but have decided to come here because they want to help change
healthcare at a fundamental level and believe that we honestly have a shot.
In terms of the technology platform-- you'll likely be working on Linux
with Oracle, perl/modperl, and Apache, with plenty of Web 2.0 techniques
thrown into the mix. But that's not why you'd be coming here; we believe
any hacker worth his/her salt can pick this stuff up in a matter of a
couple of months. We're more interested in folks with raw talent and a
burning desire to succeed. The types of problems you might work on are
wide-ranging?from core performance tuning to optimizing paper-based
processes using OCR to writing AJAX widgets in complicated (yet simple!)
user interfaces.
We?re aggressively growing at all levels. Compensation is competitive, and
as long as you get stuff done, we?re flexible about work schedules. If
you?d like to apply, shoot over a resume. The only real technical
requirement for applying is being able to make a computer do what you want
it to do.
We have several Development job openings at all levels, from entry-level to
management. Apply here to be considered for all appropriate roles.
Foundational Competencies:
All athena employees must demonstrate the following:
Integrity- conducting business and personal transactions in a legal,
ethical, fair and responsible manner as well as engendering trust, respect
and loyalty from others;
Teaching- conveying knowledge, insights and expertise to others - using
both formal and informal methods - to show employees the best way to tackle
problems and achieve objectives;
Learning- passionately pursuing knowledge by showing a persistent and
proactive interest in gaining new insights, as well as acquiring new skills
and experiences based on professional needs or growth;
Team Work- placing the success of the team and company above personal
achievement to help attain athenahealth?s corporate and social mission.
This occurs by athenistas encouraging cooperation between team members,
valuing others? contributions, taking an active role in and sponsoring team
activities and consulting with others, including cross-functional groups,
on a wide variety of issues;
Adaptability- showing flexibility and the ability to cope when faced with
changing conditions or diverse circumstances. It underscores the importance
of staying positive and productive during periods of change or significant
growth, and responding constructively to frustrations or obstacles while
remaining continually focused and in alignment with the overall
athenahealth mission, as well as the missions and goals of one?s
department;
Communication skills- fluently expressing oneself by conveying information
and opinions in a clear, open, professional and respectful manner in all
oral and written communications with other athenistas, internal/external
clients, payors and vendors.
