Job summary

Heidi is building a deterministic automation engine to connect EHRs lacking native integrations, enabling live deployments in NHS and private health systems. This code-first role emphasizes production-grade software over low-code tooling, with AI-assisted prototyping to ship quickly yet safely.

You’ll work hands-on with real workflows, map real-world hospital processes on site or in a hybrid setup, and partner with Product and Integrations to push automation from demo to scale.

Qualifications

• Proof you build: a tool, a script, an automation that solved a real problem for real users.
• Production experience with UI automation: Playwright, accessibility-tree frameworks like FlaUI, or an RPA platform you've since outgrown.
• Python as your primary language; C# or TypeScript alongside it is a bonus.
• Deterministic-systems instincts: queues, retries, idempotency and exception handling, and the discipline to make an automation fail loudly rather than wrongly.
• Data & application security knowledge, with a serious appreciation for handling patient data safely.
• Comfort working directly with customers and field teams when a deployment needs eyes on the actual workflow.
• Experience automating against regulated, high-stakes systems (payments, banking, healthcare) is a strong signal, not a requirement.
• If your experience lives entirely inside a low-code studio, this probably isn't the fit. We're building the engine, not configuring one.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain Heidi's deterministic automation engine for interacting with EHRs that lack a native integration.
• Build UI-automation flows (accessibility-tree mapping, templated field entry, structured write-back) across web and desktop systems that reliably push data into third‑party software.
• Implement patient-matching and validation logic so data lands on the correct record every time, with patient data safety as a non-negotiable constraint.
• Prototype with AI‑assisted tools like Claude Code and Cursor to ship in days, then harden what works into production‑grade code.
• Embed with health systems and their IT teams during live rollouts: map the real workflow on site, close the gaps, get them live.
• Engineer work queues, retries and exception handling so automations run unattended and failures are caught and explainable rather than silent.
• Harden flows against UI drift and edge cases, and decide with Product and Integrations where automation is the right route versus where a native integration should be built instead.
• Treat every automation as a product: instrument runs, measure reliability, and own the tooling and docs that let other engineers extend the engine to new EHRs.
