Data & Integration Engineer
Salary: $14 – $18 per hour
About the role
You'll work closely with the product and engineering team to connect VMS to external systems and turn messy operational data into reliable workflows. You'll help take VMS from prototype to production by building the integrations, data infrastructure, and backend workflows that power the agent workforce.
Key responsibilities
Build and maintain REST API and third-party system integrations
Map external data into clean canonical data models
Build pipelines, webhooks, scheduled syncs, queues, and event-driven workflows
Implement reconciliation, deduplication, validation, and data-quality monitoring
Develop backend services and tools used by VMS's AI agents
Implement OAuth, authentication, permissions, and auditability
Design for retries, idempotency, failures, and data integrity
Build human-in-the-loop workflows for actions requiring review or approval
Work with LLM APIs and agent frameworks while keeping execution reliable and testable
Help establish secure production infrastructure for real customer environments
About you
5+ years of relevant data, backend, software, or integration engineering experience
Strong experience in several of: Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, SQL/PostgreSQL, REST APIs, OAuth 2.0/JWT, relational data modeling, canonical data models, ETL/data pipelines, webhooks and asynchronous processing, cloud platforms such as GCP/AWS/Azure, automated testing, data reconciliation and observability, Git/CI/CD, and secure handling of sensitive data
Experience with AI/LLM APIs, tool calling, agent workflows, or AI-assisted development is valuable
Comfortable learning unfamiliar APIs and business domains quickly
Able to design systems as well as implement them
Able to use modern AI development tools while maintaining strong testing and engineering discipline
Healthcare experience is a plus but not required; helpful experience includes FHIR/FHIR R4, SMART on FHIR, Redox or other healthcare interoperability platforms, HL7v2, X12 healthcare transactions, EHR integrations such as Epic, athenahealth, Oracle Health/Cerner, eClinicalWorks, or NextGen, eligibility, claims, prior authorization, remittance, or revenue-cycle workflows, HIPAA-regulated applications or systems handling PHI/ePHI, and healthcare security and audit controls
About us
VMS is building an always-on agent workforce for healthcare operations. Our specialized AI agents continuously monitor operations, identify issues and opportunities, prepare and execute workflows within defined policies, and bring in a person when judgment or approval is required.
Why VMS: You'll join a small team building at the intersection of AI agents, data integrations, healthcare operations, human-in-the-loop workflows, and real-world execution. This is a chance to shape the technical foundation of a new AI-native healthcare platform, with meaningful ownership from 0 to 1. You don't need healthcare experience on day one, and we'll support the right engineer in learning the domain.
How to apply: Send your resume or LinkedIn profile and a short description of the most complex API integration, data pipeline, or backend workflow you've built. If you have experience with FHIR, Redox, HL7, X12, EHR integrations, or HIPAA-regulated systems, highlight it, but healthcare experience is not required.
