## About Us

Abacus Insights is transforming how data and AI work for health plans. Our mission is simple: make healthcare data usable, so the people responsible for care and cost decisions can act faster, with confidence.

Backed by $100M from top investors, we're tackling big challenges in an industry that's ready for change. Our platform enables GenAI use cases by delivering clean, connected, and reliable healthcare data to support automation, prioritization, and decision workflows—and it's why we are leading the way.

Our innovation begins with people. We are bold, curious, and collaborative—because the best ideas come from working together. We embrace the thoughtful use of AI and automation to drive innovation and efficiency, and we look for individuals who are curious and adaptable—those excited to leverage emerging technologies to enhance how we work—while keeping human insight, connection, and our clients at the center of every decision.

Ready to make an impact? Join us and let's build the future together.

- Data Pipeline & Transformation: Build ETL/ELT pipelines to ingest, map, and transform legacy clinical data formats (HL7 v2, C-CDA, X12) into standardized FHIR resources.
- Compliance & Security: Ensure all data persistence, transmission, and integration mechanisms strictly comply with HIPAA, GDPR, and SOC 2 security guidelines.
- Testing & Validation: Perform end-to-end integration testing, FHIR profile validation (using Firely Forge), and performance tuning for low-latency queries.

- Familiarity with EHR integration (Epic, Cerner/Oracle Health, Athenahealth) and healthcare data specs (SMART on FHIR, OAuth2/OIDC).
- Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering or other relevant field.

What we'd like to see, but not required

- HL7 FHIR Certification (HL7 International).
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS DocumentDB / Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB API).
- Knowledge of containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and CI/CD pipelines for deployment
- Dev-ops,SRE and cloud Ops is a huge plus
