Responsibilities

Join a collaborative team of software engineers dedicated to developing innovative, cloud-based solutions using modern technologies to advance Ascension’s mission. We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer experienced in cloud-native backend development using Java microservices and Google Cloud Platform. You will be a key member of a talented engineering team, responsible for designing and deploying critical, high-performance backend services that power our healthcare applications. Your work will directly support the communities we serve by helping to provide compassionate, personalized care through technology-driven innovation.

Responsibilities:

Lead the design and development of secure, scalable, and high-performing software within distributed systems.
Develop high-quality, maintainable code using Java and Spring Boot, following architectural design patterns.
Design, build, and secure scalable RESTful APIs.
Implement Test-Driven Development (TDD) and ensure strong unit test coverage for all non-POJO code.
Deliver high-quality code through comprehensive unit and integration testing and adherence to engineering best practices.
Conduct code reviews and ensure compliance with quality, security, and performance standards.
Participate in Agile ceremonies, including design discussions, sprint planning, code reviews, and documentation.
Mentor and guide junior developers, fostering collaboration, growth, and knowledge sharing.
Communicate effectively within the team and across departments to align on goals and solutions.
Address and resolve high-priority technical issues independently and efficiently.

Collaborate with cross-functional partners, including Product Management, UX, Analytics, and Support teams.

Characteristics We Seek

Be curious about technology. The software engineering industry is constantly changing and evolving. We embrace change and are curious to learn how the latest technology can be used to improve the lives of patients and our clinicians.
Learn and grow professionally. We strive for continuous improvement of our Digital Studio organization and our team members do the same. This comes from the path of constant learning, in addition to reflecting on past experiences for improvement opportunities.
Always ready for change. A rolling stone gathers no moss, and neither do we. We accept that change is always around us, and our work is no exception. We navigate change through early and often communication; engage the ambiguous; promote diversity; accept new ideas; and lean on learning agility.
Seek feedback. Feedback is important to us. We use it as a guide for our own development, and we build our software with feedback built into the process. It is incorporated into our software development lifecycle with design, code reviews, unit tests, and continuous integration. Feedback is also integrated into our shipped solutions with application performance monitoring (APM) and usage analytics to help us learn methods to improve.
Demonstrate positivity. Our organization's focus is all about solving problems, and most of these problems are challenging. We try not to let that get in our way of thinking positively -- instead it's what motivates us to reach higher.
Work with your team. We understand that our best work comes from working together. Our teams enjoy working together, sharing knowledge, helping, mentoring, and delivering our best for the communities we serve.
Live Ascension’s core values. The Ascension core values are the standard that we hold ourselves to and a source of pride for us. We live by them. Our core values include: service of the poor, reverence, integrity, wisdom, creativity and dedication.
