Senior Software Engineer

Job Title: Senior Software Engineer

• If you live within a 50 mile radius of our El Segundo HQ''s, you will be required to go into the office 3 days/week*

Company Description:

Greater Good Health is a fast-growing organization delivering care to older adults in access starved communities. Our innovative model is led by Nurse Practitioners and focused on outcomes, not volume-meaning we prioritize quality over quantity, spend more time with our patients, and are accountable for their health and well-being.

Whether through our own senior-focused primary care clinics or our suite of integrated clinical solutions for health plans and provider groups, we are making value-based care more accessible and more effective. We help reduce avoidable healthcare costs, improve clinical outcomes, and create a best-in-class patient experience.

If you''re passionate about transforming healthcare and delivering meaningful care to those who need it most, Greater Good Health offers a purpose-driven, collaborative, and supportive environment where your work can make a lasting impact.

Role:

Reporting to the Senior Director of Engineering, you'll help build and operate the systems that connect our clinical, engagement, and operational platforms. This is a hands-on senior engineering role focused on integrations, data movement, platform reliability, and the tools our teams use every day to deliver care. You'll work closely with product, clinical, and operational stakeholders to build software that scales our ability to reach and care for patients.

What You'll Do

Build and own the integrations at the center of our platform

• We pull enrollment and member data from internal systems, exchange patient records with our EHR platform, retrieve clinical documents through interoperability partners, run patient engagement and outreach through our CRM platform, drive outbound calling through multiple telephony systems, send messaging through our patient messaging platform, and exchange data with health plans and provider groups through a variety of integration channels.
• You'll own these integrations end to end, from technical design and vendor coordination through implementation, monitoring, troubleshooting, and ongoing improvement.

Make these systems work as one

• A significant portion of the value we create comes from coordinating data across systems that were never designed to work together. You'll help ensure data arrives accurately, is reconciled appropriately, and reaches the right systems and teams at the right time.
• You'll work with APIs, event-driven architectures, message queues, webhooks, scheduled processes, and file-based integrations to keep information moving reliably throughout our platform. Done well, this is the difference between a patient who gets meaningful care and one who slips through the cracks.

Build the product experiences on top of those integrations

• Extend our Laravel backend, including business logic, background jobs, console commands, and data models that support core platform workflows.
• Build and maintain Livewire and Blade interfaces that allow clinical, operational, and administrative teams to act on the data flowing through the platform.

Design, Build and Consume APIs

• Design, implement, and maintain well-structured APIs for internal and external consumers.
• Integrate with third-party platforms using REST APIs, OAuth2, token-based authentication, webhooks, and related integration patterns.

Work closely with our cloud infrastructure

• The platform runs on AWS using services such as Aurora PostgreSQL, S3, queues, and related managed infrastructure, with infrastructure defined through code.
• You should be comfortable reasoning about how software behaves in production, including performance, reliability, scalability, security, and operational observability.

Mentor and support other engineers

• Help develop mid-level and junior engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and day-to-day collaboration.
• Share effective approaches to modern software development, including the responsible use of AI-assisted development tools while maintaining high standards for correctness, maintainability, security, and reliability.

Improve platform reliability and maintainability

• Continuously improve system performance, resiliency, operational visibility, and developer productivity.
• Identify opportunities to simplify architecture, reduce operational burden, and improve the long-term maintainability of the platform.

Build with security in mind

• Protect PHI and other sensitive information through thoughtful system design, strong access controls, and careful attention to tenant isolation.
• Security, privacy, and data integrity are core engineering responsibilities and are considered throughout the software development lifecycle.

Own what you ship

• Health plans, provider groups, and our own clinics depend on the software we build.
• We expect engineers to monitor, troubleshoot, and improve the systems they develop, treating reliability, data integrity, security, and operational excellence as first-class engineering concerns.

What We're Looking for

• We're looking for an engineer who combines strong technical skills with sound judgment.
• You ask questions before proposing solutions, understand the broader systems surrounding the code you're working on, and think carefully about security, reliability, and operational impact.
• You're comfortable working across the stack and can independently carry substantial features from concept through production.
• You communicate clearly in writing, collaborate effectively in a remote environment, and hold a high bar for the engineers around you.
• You use AI-assisted development tools productively and understand both their strengths and limitations. You know how to verify results, identify incorrect assumptions, and maintain engineering standards while working at a faster pace.

Requirements

• Experience building and operating production systems that integrate multiple services, process data reliably, and handle real-world failure scenarios
• Strong backend experience in PHP and Laravel (or a comparable backend framework and application architecture that can be applied effectively in a Laravel environment)
• Full-stack development experience, including server-rendered interactive user interfaces using Livewire or comparable server-driven UI frameworks, along with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
• Experience designing, building, and consuming RESTful APIs and integrating with third-party systems using OAuth2, token-based authentication, webhooks, and related patterns
• A track record of coordinating data across multiple systems while handling failures, retries, reconciliation, and data consistency concerns
• Experience building secure software that handles sensitive information, including access control, tenant isolation, and protection of data in transit and at rest
• Experience with distributed and event-driven architectures, including queues, messaging systems, asynchronous processing, and scheduled workflows
• Strong relational database experience (PostgreSQL preferred; MySQL, MariaDB, or similar also welcome), including schema design, query optimization, and writing complex SQL alongside an ORM when appropriate
• Experience building maintainable, well-structured software that balances pragmatism, clarity, and long-term adaptability
• Hands-on experience with a major cloud platform (AWS preferred), including managed databases, storage, queues, monitoring, and observability

Education and Experience

• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience building full-stack, cloud-native web applications
