Job Description:

The Aspen Group (TAG) is one of the largest and most trusted retail healthcare business support organizations in the U.S. and has supported over 16,000 healthcare professionals and team members at more than 1,200 health and wellness offices across 46 states in four distinct categories: Dental care, urgent care, medical aesthetics, and animal health. Working in partnership with independent practice owners and clinicians, the team is united by a single purpose: to prove that healthcare can be better and smarter for everyone. TAG provides a comprehensive suite of centralized business support services that power the impact of five consumer-facing businesses: Aspen Dental, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers, WellNow Urgent Care, Chapter Aesthetic Studio, and AZPetVet. Each brand has access to a deep community of experts, tools and resources to grow their practices, and an unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality consumer healthcare experiences at scale.

As part of The Aspen Group, Aspen Dental, with over 1000 offices, has reached the size to invest in building a technology platform that will help transform and modernize the dental industry. Our Digital Transformation has two parts: we're building a modern active-active cloud-native enterprise platform, and just as exciting, we're rolling out advances in 3D scanning, 3D printing, and AI for the dental industry.

Our continued growth has created an opportunity to join our IT Team as a Lead Software Engineer for Patient Financing.

This role owns planning, estimation, and tracking features, and you will help define our software development life cycle as we modernize our technologies and approaches. We expect hands-on and strong technical skills. You lead by example and will build up your team's talent and abilities.

Responsibilities

• Partner and lead developers designing and implementing our modern cloud architecture.
• Design, develop and deploy .NET 7 APIs following our best practices.
• Troubleshoot critical issues in a production environment when needed.

• Contribute new ideas to improve software practices and processes for our platform.
• Contribute and help manage the development and software rollout process.
• Work independently and make sound technical decisions with and without guidance.
• Perform data analysis and build data pipelines/dashboards.
  
  Experience

  • Experience with modern DevOps and owning deploying code to production as needed.
  • Solid understanding of Object-Oriented programming and common design patterns.
  • Strong understanding of unit testing principles and approaches.
  • Experience building micro-services with modern .NET (preferred) or Java/Python development.
  • Proficient in micro-services design and RESTful APIs, graphQL, and optionally gRPC.
  • Experienced with SQL, ideally SQL Server or PostgreSQL, and NoSQL data solutions.
  • Experience with dealing with the security and compliance side of software development.
  • Experienced with owning quality and best practices in automation and testing.
