About the position
Huron helps its clients drive growth, enhance performance and sustain leadership in the markets they serve. We help healthcare organizations build innovation capabilities and accelerate key growth initiatives, enabling organizations to own the future, instead of being disrupted by it. Together, we empower clients to create sustainable growth, optimize internal processes and deliver better consumer outcomes. Health systems, hospitals and medical clinics are under immense pressure to improve clinical outcomes and reduce the cost of providing patient care. Investing in new partnerships, clinical services and technology is not enough to create meaningful and substantive change. To succeed long-term, healthcare organizations must empower leaders, clinicians, employees, affiliates and communities to build cultures that foster innovation to achieve the best outcomes for patients. Joining the Huron team means you’ll help our clients evolve and adapt to the rapidly changing healthcare environment and optimize existing business operations, improve clinical outcomes, create a more consumer-centric healthcare experience, and drive physician, patient and employee engagement across the enterprise. Join our team as the expert you are now and create your future. We’re seeking a top-performing, hands-on Senior Lead Software Engineer to join our Clinical Insights team and lead the development of rapidly deployable healthcare analytics products. This is an opportunity for a technical athlete who thrives in fast-paced environments and enjoys working directly with customers to shape the future of healthcare delivery. You’ll be at the forefront of innovation, developing end-to-end solutions that drive insight and impact using tools like Shiny, Streamlit, Quarto, and R Markdown. You’ll collaborate with a high-caliber, cross-functional team of PhDs, engineers, product managers, and consultants to create intuitive, scalable analytics tools that are delivered into production at speed. We’re looking for someone who can both architect robust data pipelines and bring results to life through interactive and insightful visual applications. If you are energized by the challenge of solving real-world problems, love iterating quickly, and want your work to improve patient outcomes—this is your role.
