Software Engineer III
VBA
Build the systems that power healthcare — and make them smarter
Healthcare tech isn’t flashy.
But the problems? They’re complex. High-stakes. And actually worth solving.
At VBA, our platform sits at the center of complex healthcare operations—processing data, powering integrations, and supporting critical workflows for our clients. The systems we build directly impact performance, accuracy, and outcomes across the healthcare experience.
We’re evolving that platform — combining modern architecture, scalable services, and AI-driven capabilities to build what’s next.
If you want to work on real systems, real scale, and real impact — keep reading.
What’s Happening Inside Engineering at VBA
We’re not maintaining a legacy system.
We’re actively evolving our platform — combining modern cloud architecture, strong engineering practices, and AI to build what’s next.
Engineers here are working on:
- Expanding enterprise SaaS applications — real product development, not maintenance
- AWS-native architecture (containers, serverless, scalable systems)
- AI-powered capabilities embedded into real workflows
- Event-driven and automation-first systems
- Internal tooling that makes engineers more effective
This is platform evolution mode, not maintenance mode.
The Role
This is a senior individual contributor role focused on building and improving the core platform that powers VBA’s applications.
You’ll design and develop scalable services, contribute to system design decisions, and help embed AI-driven capabilities into real workflows.
This is not a ticket factory role — but it is a hands-on builder role. You’ll spend the majority of your time designing, developing, and delivering production systems while contributing to technical discussions within your team.
Translation: You build critical platform components — and what you build becomes the foundation others rely on.
Who You Are
You’re a strong engineer — the kind of developer other engineers trust.
You take ownership, solve meaningful problems, and deliver high-quality systems.
You enjoy building scalable services, improving performance, and working on real-world platform challenges.
You’re curious about AI and modern technologies, and you look for practical ways to apply them to real engineering problems.
You raise the bar through execution, not authority.
If you’re already using AI to build faster, automate smarter, and rethink how software gets built—you’ll feel right at home here.

Why Engineers Join VBA
Because this isn’t a place where engineering sits on the sidelines.
Engineers join VBA because they want:
- Real Ownership
- You’re not handed tickets — you’re trusted with problems.
- You own your work from idea through delivery, and what you build actually matters.
- Meaningful Problems
- Healthcare is complex — and that’s the point.
- We’re solving real operational challenges that impact clients, members, and outcomes.
- Modern Engineering Environment
- We invest in modern architecture, cloud infrastructure, and evolving our platform — not maintaining outdated systems.
- A Team That Raises the Bar
- You’ll work with engineers who care about quality, challenge ideas, and push each other to improve — without ego.
- Forward Momentum (Not Status Quo)
- We’re actively evolving — into AI, automation, and smarter systems.
- This isn’t a “keep things running” environment.
- Impact You Can See
- The work you do shows up — in the product, in the platform, and in how we scale as a company.
Why VBA
At VBA, engineering is central to how we deliver for clients — not a support function.
You’ll be part of a team that:
- Builds with purpose and accountability
- Invests in modern architecture and tools
- Values ownership, curiosity, and continuous improvement
- Is actively evolving — not standing still
Let’s Be Real
If you’re looking to:
- Stay in your lane
- Just close tickets
- Avoid ownership
This isn’t your role.
If you want:
- Real responsibility
- A strong team
- The opportunity to grow your impact
We should talk.
