About NexHealth

NexHealth's mission is to accelerate innovation in healthcare. The industry still runs on outdated systems, with manual workflows and siloed data holding back progress. We're building the infrastructure to change that—modern, open APIs that make it easier for developers to build great patient and provider experiences. With real-time integrations into electronic health record systems (EHRs), NexHealth's Synchronizer API powers a more connected, accessible, and modern healthcare ecosystem.

The Role

We are seeking an experienced Engineering Manager to lead the development of the Sync Core. Synchronizer provides native, real-time, bidirectional synchronization between numerous EHR systems of record and NexHealth's harmonized central database. This foundation enables healthcare innovators to focus on improving patient experiences and outcomes—while we handle the underlying infrastructure.

This is step two in our three-step master plan. You'll be responsible for raising engineering quality and execution velocity across the organization, making it easier and faster to create and extend Synchronizers. The role involves working closely with multiple engineering teams and product managers to define the next‑generation Synchronizer API offering.

What We Look For
