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 Software Engineer on athenaCollector, where you'll design and build scalable, secure, and maintainable software that powers our revenue cycle management (RCM) platform. This role is built for engineers who see AI-assisted development as the standard toolkit for moving faster without sacrificing quality, and already rethinking how specs, code review, testing, and delivery work in an AI-augmented pipeline. We are looking for someone who can bring that thinking to a team solving real problems in healthcare billing.
Team Summary
athenaCollector automates the essential back-office processes behind claims cycles, billing, RCM, and the operational plumbing that helps healthcare providers get paid accurately and on time. We're actively evolving how we build: shifting from manual, ticket-by-ticket implementation toward a spec-first, AI-accelerated workflow where engineers focus on domain correctness, architecture, and edge cases. You'll work closely with product, design, QA, and SRE to ship features that materially improve claims processing and financial outcomes for provider clients.

About athenahealth
Our vision: In an industry that becomes more complex by the day, we stand for simplicity. We offer IT solutions and expert services that eliminate the daily hurdles preventing healthcare providers from focusing entirely on their patients — powered by our vision to create a thriving ecosystem that delivers accessible, high-quality, and sustainable healthcare for all.
Our company culture: Our talented employees — or athenistas, as we call ourselves — spark the innovation and passion needed to accomplish our vision. We are a diverse group of dreamers and do-ers with unique knowledge, expertise, backgrounds, and perspectives. We unite as mission-driven problem-solvers with a deep desire to achieve our vision and make our time here count. Our award-winning culture is built around shared values of inclusiveness, accountability, and support.
Our DEI commitment: Our vision of accessible, high-quality, and sustainable healthcare for all requires addressing the inequities that stand in the way. That's one reason we prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion in every aspect of our business, from attracting and sustaining a diverse workforce to maintaining an inclusive environment for athenistas, our partners, customers and the communities where we work and serve.
What we can do for you:
Along with health and financial benefits, athenistas enjoy perks specific to each location, including commuter support, employee assistance programs, tuition assistance, employee resource groups, and collaborative workspaces — some offices even welcome dogs.
We also encourage a better work-life balance for athenistas with our flexibility. While we know in-office collaboration is critical to our vision, we recognize that not all work needs to be done within an office environment, full-time. With consistent communication and digital collaboration tools, athenahealth enables employees to find a balance that feels fulfilling and productive for each individual situation.
In addition to our traditional benefits and perks, we sponsor events throughout the year, including book clubs, external speakers, and hackathons. We provide athenistas with a company culture based on learning, the support of an engaged team, and an inclusive environment where all employees are valued.
