At MCG, we lead the healthcare community to deliver patient-focused care. We have a mission-driven team of talented physicians and technical experts developing our evidence-based content and innovating our products to accelerate improvements in healthcare. If you are driven to enhance the US healthcare system, MCG is eager to have you join our team. We cultivate a work environment that nurtures personal and professional growth, and this is a thrilling time to become a part of our organization. With dynamic roles that offer meaningful impact, you'll be able to fully realize your potential. Plus, you'll enjoy world-class benefits and the security, stability, and resources of our parent company, Hearst, with over 100 years of experience.
MCG is rapidly expanding a new API platform, Synapse Everywhere, that delivers clinical intelligence to healthcare partners at scale. We are hiring a Staff Software Development Engineer to work with the team on the external API surface: design, scalability, security posture, and developer experience.
This role treats an API as a product. You will be part of the team that determines what Synapse Everywhere exposes, how it behaves under load and failure, and what the experience of building on it feels like for an external developer. You will work directly with the Director of Software Engineering to determine what is feasible to build, in what order, and with what guarantees. This is a new platform so high ambiguity is the baseline, not the exception.
AI-assisted & human-owned development is the standard on this team. We expect engineers at this level to be excellent at discerning when and how to use AI tools. Team cohesion is critical for the pace of development, so you’ll be joining a high respect high and high personal accountability team.
