Job Description



Full Stack Engineer - REMOTE


Why you want to work at Flexion:


We're looking for a Full Stack Engineer with an unwavering passion for designing meaningful, easy-to-use applications. Most of the work we do is on large-scale, enterprise-wide systems (both commercial and government)-this project, in particular, is modernizing electronic test orders and results (ETOR) for newborn screening through the use of an intermediary at the CDC. This intermediary transports and transforms healthcare messages between hospitals and labs, will contain a service catalog of what services labs can render, and in general will be a cornerstone of the CDC's public health initiatives.


At Flexion (an Agile software company that's been delivering excellence for over 24 years), our company culture is built on autonomy, trust, and transparency. We empower teams to remain autonomous and self-directed by hiring people who can solve complex problems by functioning collaboratively-this means lending a hand and flexing your multi-skilled muscles (research, content, business analysis, information architecture, etc.) as needed. Every member within a cross-functional team is a leader who takes responsibility for the entire team's success, which mirrors the company's overall low bureaucracy structure.


What the job looks like:


We are looking for a full-stack engineer with application design and development skills. In this role, you must possess excellent problem-solving skills and an interest to further your technical knowledge and become an integral and actively engaged team member. You should have an interest in learning technical leadership, in excellent communication, and in having a positive attitude.


We use a Scrum agile methodology with all the usual ceremonies. Multiple engineers collaborate often on the same story to complete the work. Our main collaboration tools are Slack, Zoom, and Gather, but we are open to other choices. We base most of our work in GitHub using GitHub flow (PRs into a main branch) and the issues being the stories we work on.


Why we want to hire you:


You can design small pieces as you go, while still thinking about how they fit into the whole. You welcome change as a positive thing (instead of viewing it as "rework") and never look at anything you deliver as "final." You understand when "good enough" really IS good enough, without ever compromising on the overall product quality. You pursue quality over cutting corners. You are interested in learning a broad range of things and becoming an engaged team member. Lastly, you are happy to work with non-engineers, including human-centered design team members, clients, and other partners.


You have:

• 8+ years of professional experience with at least 5 years of software development
  
• BS (or higher) in Computer Science or a related field or equivalent experience
  
• Self-motivated with strong communication skills.
  
• Passion for learning new technologies and the ability to do so quickly.
  
• Ability to write high-quality code efficiently.
  
• Experience with Agile application development.
  
• Java development experience.
  
• Unit testing experience.
  
• Build systems in any programming language.
  

Nice to have:

• Test-Driven Development.
  
• Maven or Gradle experience.
  
• Docker experience.
  
• Shell scripting experience.
  
• Know how to interact with GitHub and its norms.
  
• Working knowledge of at least one cloud provider.
  
• Know the HL7v2 healthcare format.
  
• Know the FHIR healthcare format.
  
• Groovy with the Spock testing framework.
  
• DevOps experience.
  
• Experience with reactive front-end languages and frameworks like JavaScript, TypeScript, and React.
  
• Experience with CSS.
  
• Experience with USWDS or similar design systems.
  
• Shifting testing left.
  
• All aspects of full test automation.
  

At Flexion, we live by these principles:

• Speak openly and honestly with your colleagues and clients about problems and proposed solutions
  
• Welcome and handle changing requirements and priorities with little or no warning
  
• Collaborate online in small groups about 50% of the time
  
• Encourage simple and minimal solutions that keep options open
  
• Expect and vocally advocate for quality first
  
• Learn new practices and techniques as the situation demands
  
• Ensure the teams develop demonstrable software every week or two
  
• Do what needs to be done to deliver the product or project without ego or attitude
  
• Dig deep to find the root causes of problems so we can create the right solutions
  
• Relentlessly improve yourself, your team, and your processes
