At Boston Children’s Hospital, the quality of our care – and our inclusive hospital working environment – lies in the diversity of our people. With patients from local communities and 160 countries around the world, we’re committed to reflecting the spectrum of their cultures, while opening doors of opportunity for our team. Here, different talents pursue common goals. Voices are heard and ideas are shared. Join us, and discover how your unique contributions can change lives. Yours included. Department Summary Are you looking to make a global impact by working on leading-edge, open-source software and emerging standards for healthcare? The Computational Health Informatics Program (chip.org) at Boston Children’s Hospital, a Harvard Medical School affiliate, is seeking an experienced full stack developer to join the SMART Health IT team (smarthealthit.org). You will build software that brings AI capabilities and multimodal data to the point of care for children with chronic disease, across a research network of leading U.S. children’s hospitals. The work turns clinical notes, imaging, labs, genomics, and structured EHR data into the systems clinicians, researchers, and families actually use. As a member of the team that defined the national standards for SMART on FHIR and Bulk FHIR, now embedded in every major EHR, you will be at the center of data and AI innovation in healthcare. About you: Strong software engineering foundation. You ship high-quality, well-tested, well-documented code at scale. Solid grounding in data architectures, databases, and cloud-native software design. You operate well with autonomy. Given context and a goal, you self-direct and surface trade-offs early. Motivated to learn. Curious about new tools, standards, AI methods, and problem domains. Committed to open source and to building things that get widely used.
