Build the systems that power healthcare — and make them smarter

We Build the Plumbing That Keeps Healthcare Running

Healthcare tech isn’t flashy.

But the problems?
They’re complex. High-stakes. And actually worth solving.

Billions of dollars move through systems like ours — governed by rules, integrations, and data that have real consequences when things break.

At VBA, we’re taking that complexity and turning it into intelligent, scalable systems that adapt, automate, and improve how healthcare works.

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

You’ll work on the core platform that powers multiple enterprise SaaS applications — building the APIs, services, and data systems that everything else depends on.

This is not a ticket factory role.

You’ll design and build scalable systems, solve meaningful technical problems, and contribute to the architecture of a platform used by major healthcare organizations.

You’ll also collaborate closely with our AI engineering team to embed intelligent capabilities directly into our applications — helping evolve traditional enterprise software into smarter, more adaptive systems.

Translation: You help build the engine — and what you build becomes the foundation others rely on.
The kind of work where people don’t always see it — but everything breaks if it’s not done right.

This is the kind of role where strong engineers do their best work — and where “rockstar” shows up in execution, not noise.

What You’ll Actually Do

You’ll work on the core platform that powers VBA’s applications.

Day-to-day, that looks like:

This role is grounded in execution + ownership + collaboration — not siloed development.

Technical Leadership (Tech Lead Expectations)

At this level, you’re not just contributing — you’re helping drive how the team operates and delivers.

You’ll act as a Tech Lead within your pod, providing clarity, direction, and technical leadership while staying hands-on.

What That Looks Like

• Lead a single engineering pod — ensuring clarity, alignment, and high-quality delivery
• Partner closely with Product, QA, Operations, and the Scrum Master to plan work, manage flow, and remove blockers early
• Build clarity within the team — ensuring priorities, requirements, and definitions of done are well understood
• Facilitate technical discussions, design sessions, and architectural decisions
• Represent your team in conversations with Engineering Management (progress, risks, tradeoffs)
• Support sprint execution — helping estimate work and maintain predictable delivery
• Coordinate cross-team collaboration when systems or dependencies overlap

How You Lead

• Act as an advocate for the team — helping reduce noise, protect focus, and keep work moving
• Guide team discussions and support strong, collaborative decision-making
• Uphold engineering standards across code quality, testing, security, and documentation
• Help raise the bar — not by control, but by influence and example

What This Role Is — and Isn’t

This is a Tech Lead role — not a people manager.

• You guide technically and operationally, but do not manage performance or compensation
• You act as a mentor, advisor, and facilitator — not a direct manager
• You help increase the impact and effectiveness of the team’s work

Day-to-Day Leadership Activities

• Supporting engineers through regular check-ins, unblocking, and technical guidance
• Partnering with your Engineering Manager to stay aligned on team health and delivery
• Ensuring strong adherence to code review and pull request practices
• Acting as an insulator — reducing distractions and protecting team focus
• Maintaining visibility into work progress, risks, and delivery expectations

• AWS-native architecture
• AI embedded into real workflows
• Event-driven and automation-first systems
• Internal tooling and developer experience improvements

This is platform evolution mode, not maintenance mode.

Who You Are

You might not call yourself a rockstar — but you consistently show up like one.

You’re a strong engineer — the kind of developer other engineers trust, respect, and want on their team.

You’re not loud for the sake of it — but when it comes to delivering real, high-quality work, you stand out.

You take ownership. You solve real problems. You make the team better.

You don’t just write code — you think about how it scales, how it’s used, and how it holds up over time.

You’re the engineer people want in the room when things get complicated.
