Join us as we work to create a thriving ecosystem that delivers accessible, high-quality, and sustainable healthcare for all.

Join athenahealth as a Senior Engineering Manager to lead a newly formed engineering team advancing our Integration Platform. Working closely with engineering, product, architecture, and operational stakeholders, you will help simplify healthcare data exchange and improve the experience of developers, customers, and integration partners. A key focus will be advancing automation, self-service capabilities, and AI-powered tooling to reduce integration turnaround time and improve engineering productivity.

It supports internal data exchanges and connections between athenahealth and laboratories, imaging providers, registries, health information exchanges (HIEs), payers, other electronic health record (EHR) systems, faxing services, and third-party vendors serving healthcare practices.
These connections use protocols and connectivity methods such as SFTP, APIs, and VPN sockets, making scalability, performance, and reliability central to the team's work.
The Chennai team will expand these capabilities through platform improvements, process automation, and AI-powered tools that simplify integration development, testing, and onboarding.
Drive the adoption of AI-assisted development lifecycle (AIDLC) practices across planning, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance, with appropriate engineering review and quality controls.
Identify and deliver opportunities for automation, self-service, and AI-powered tooling to reduce integration turnaround time and improve developer and customer experiences.
