About the role
We’re hiring a Product Engineer to build at the intersection of the Plenful platform and the complex healthcare systems our customers rely on. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on designing and building integrations that connect Plenful to external systems such as EMRs, payors, and other critical healthcare infrastructure.
As a Product Engineer, you’ll sit between platform engineering and customer facing teams—owning the technical execution of how Plenful interacts with external systems. You’ll work with APIs, EDI interfaces, and healthcare data standards to enable seamless data exchange and power real-world decision-making.
You’ll partner closely with product, engineering, and customer-facing teams to translate ambiguous requirements into scalable solutions, and help shape how Plenful expands its integration capabilities over time.
This role reports to our Head of Product Engineering and offers significant scope for growth as we scale our platform and deepen our footprint across healthcare ecosystems.
What you’ll do
Build integrations across healthcare systems
Design, build, and maintain integrations between Plenful and external systems such as EMRs (Epic, Cerner, Athena), payors, wholesalers, and other healthcare platforms
Develop and maintain REST API integrations and data pipelines between systems
Work with healthcare data formats including EDI X12, FHIR, and other structured data interfaces
Build and manage interfaces for claims, payor/PBM systems, and other transaction-based workflows
Own data flow and decisioning
Pull, transform, and process data from multiple external systems
Enable downstream decision-making and automation based on integrated data
Ensure reliability, accuracy, and scalability of data pipelines
Bridge product and engineering
Translate product requirements and customer needs into technical implementations
Partner with platform engineering to define and build reusable integration capabilities
Contribute to system design decisions around APIs, data models, and integration architecture
Build prototypes to remove ambiguity and give team additional clarity around requirements
Partner with customer-facing teams
Collaborate with technical customer success and product teams to implement and iterate on integrations
Troubleshoot and improve live integrations in customer environments
Incorporate real-world feedback into the product
What we’re looking for
Experience
3–6 years of experience in a software engineering or integration-focused role
Experience building integrations between systems, ideally in healthcare or other complex data environments
Experience working with external APIs and/or data exchange systems
Technical skills
Strong programming skills in Python (or similar language)
Experience working with REST APIs and distributed systems
Familiarity with translating data between formats such as JSON, XML, and CSV
Highly preferred:
Experience with EDI / X12 transactions
Experience with AS2 or similar secure data transport protocols
Familiarity with claims workflows, payor/PBM systems, or other healthcare financial transactions
Nice to have:
Experience with HL7 or FHIR
Experience with interface engines or integration platforms
Core competencies
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to navigate ambiguous requirements
Ability to bridge product thinking with technical execution
Comfortable working across teams (engineering, product, customer-facing)
Detail-oriented with a focus on building reliable, scalable systems
Miscellaneous
Excited to work in a fast-paced, early-stage environment
Interested in solving real-world healthcare interoperability challenges
Comfortable owning problems end-to-end and iterating quickly
Educational background
Bachelor’s degree (BA/BS) in Computer Science or equivalent experience
