Altarum

Software Developer

Overview

Do you want to help prevent the most prevalent chronic condition among children in the United States? Are you interested in addressing the most common unmet health care need of poor children across the country? As a Software Developer at Altarum Institute, your first software project will be to help design and develop a Java-based, statewide referral and quality monitoring system to give medical providers the tools to refer children with oral health issues to the dental community. The software that you develop will help create a sustained, system-wide improvement in children’s oral health, and ultimately improve the oral health of more than 1 million children across the state of Michigan. You’ll report to a Center Director, and work in an Agile environment alongside a team of Software Developers, Business Analysts, and Public Health Analysts in our Portland, ME office. During your career at Altarum, you will have the opportunity to make important software and web development contributions to multiple healthcare projects such as java based web applications for public health, clinical decision support tools, EHR integration, and mobile applications.
