Requirements Vital + Integration Integration at Vital designs, builds, and maintains the data integration feeds between health systems, partners, and Vital to power our products and services that deliver real value to our clients. We build and maintain features using a modern, serverless stack. All of our infrastructure rests within the AWS cloud, with our preference being AWS Managed Services, allowing our engineers to build products rather than maintain servers. Our products consist of mobile web applications (React + GraphQL) backed by DynamoDB, Cognito, and TypeScript Lambdas. We ingest millions of events from core healthcare systems using Rhapsody Integration Engine, TypeScript Lambdas and Kinesis. You'll be working front and center on these systems. Your expertise will also be relevant in building internal tools and processes that support the wider team, while looking for optimization opportunities in the team's workflows.

We prefer to catch potential issues as early as possible, so we continuously invest in our Developer Experience tooling. Engineers build, maintain, and support shared services.

Work is prioritized using a Kanban approach, and we constantly improve our approach methodology as needed. Features are launched in phased approaches, following validation with our end users.
