Job Summary:

The Center for Health Care Innovation is building on its foundation of successfully developing and deploying applications to improve health care delivery, patient outcomes and population health. The Software Engineer will work within the small (under ten people) team that is focused on novel technology that advances and enables innovation. You will also work closely with passionate, mission-driven clinicians to explore opportunities to transform care.

We believe the best way to make big improvements to patient health and health care delivery is to experiment quickly at low cost, only scaling once we find high impact solutions. The Center provides an exciting and fast-paced opportunity for motivated, entrepreneurial individuals to effect meaningful, systemic change at Penn Medicine and across the healthcare industry.
