Health Data Innovations, Inc.; Cleveland (OH); Hybrid; USD 90,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

Health Data Innovations, Inc. is seeking a mid‑level Software Engineer to develop and maintain Automatix, an internal platform managing the full lifecycle of healthcare data. You will own features end‑to‑end—from database schema to backend logic, UI, and deployment.

In a small, hands‑on team, you’ll build features in a mature Rails codebase, enhance reporting and data validation tools, and collaborate with analysts and operations staff. Periodic in‑office presence in Cleveland is required.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years of professional software development experience.
• Proficiency in Ruby on Rails or similar — comfortable working in a large, established codebase.
• Solid working knowledge of SQL and relational databases (MySQL preferred).
• Experience with server-rendered web applications (ERB/HTML/CSS/JavaScript).
• Familiarity with jQuery and traditional DOM‑based frontend development.
• Understanding of authentication/authorization patterns (LDAP/Active Directory, role‑based access control).
• Comfort reading and modifying code you didn’t write — enhancement and extension focus.
• Ability to work independently and manage priorities in a small‑team environment.

Responsibilities

• Build new features and enhance existing functionality across a mature Rails application (models, controllers, views, background jobs).
• Design and modify database schemas (MySQL) to support evolving business requirements.
• Create and maintain reporting dashboards, data validation workflows, and batch processing tools.
• Write server-rendered UI with ERB templates, jQuery, and AJAX.
• Collaborate with analysts, operations staff, and management to translate business needs into working software.

The Role

We’re looking for a mid-level software engineer to develop and maintain Automatix, our internal platform that manages the full lifecycle of healthcare data — from file receipt and validation through batch processing and transmission. You’ll build features, improve workflows, and support the analysts and operations staff who rely on the system daily.

This is a hands‑on role in a small team where your work has immediate, visible impact. You’ll own features end‑to‑end: database schema, backend logic, UI, and deployment.

What You’ll Do

• Build new features and enhance existing functionality across a mature Rails application (models, controllers, views, background jobs)
• Design and modify database schemas (MySQL) to support evolving business requirements
• Create and maintain reporting dashboards, data validation workflows, and batch processing tools
• Write server-rendered UI with ERB templates, jQuery, and AJAX
• Collaborate directly with analysts, operations staff, and management to translate business needs into working software
• Troubleshoot production issues related to data processing, file transfers, and system integrations
• Maintain and extend background job processing for automated data pipelines
• Support management requests for ad hoc custom reports

What We’re Looking For

Required:

• 3–5 years of professional software development experience
• Proficiency in Ruby on Rails or similar — comfortable working in a large, established codebase
• Solid working knowledge of SQL and relational databases (MySQL preferred)
• Experience with server-rendered web applications (ERB/HTML/CSS/JavaScript)
• Familiarity with jQuery and traditional DOM‑based frontend development
• Understanding of authentication/authorization patterns (LDAP/Active Directory, role‑based access control)
• Comfort reading and modifying code you didn’t write — this role is primarily enhancement and extension, not greenfield
• Ability to work independently and manage your own priorities in a small‑team environment

Preferred:

• Experience with legacy Rails applications (Rails 4.x / Rails 5.x)
• Background in healthcare data, EDI, or data pipeline/ETL systems
• Familiarity with background job frameworks (Delayed Job, Sidekiq, or similar)
• Experience with file‑based integrations (FTP/SFTP, CSV/fixed‑width parsing)
• Exposure to SAS or other data processing tools
• Knowledge of gems like CanCanCan, CarrierWave, will_paginate, or Devise/Adauth
• Experience working with Claude Code extension in VS Code
• Knowledge of AWS cloud services and cloud‑based application architectures preferred
• Experience with modern development and DevOps tools and practices, including CI/CD pipelines, source control, automation, containerization, and infrastructure management preferred

In-Office Expectations: While this is a hybrid role, periodic in‑office presence in Cleveland is required. This includes attendance at team meetings and onboarding/training sessions, as well as scheduled visits to collaborate with project management and user interface stakeholders during requirements gathering phases.
