Position Title: Java Developer

Project scope / components:

Healthcare Platform is the space the engineers would primarily work in, but there are other apps under Jerry that they would switch between. The platform captures data and writes them to Kafka raw topics…they then take that data through Entity Builder as a Service (optum internal tech) à turn it into a standard schema / standard ID within a claim systems. This data comes out as refined topic into Entity Builder and get loaded into GraphQL (some REST APIs but trying to get away from that). Claim and Eligibility has 1300 fields…the received a Gov project for interoperability of claims and switched to the HC Platform solution, from their Legacy apps, to adhere to Govt standards. As part of that process they only focused on the fields for interoperability. What that did was leave a lot of gaps in the source system.

The overall goal is to replace the legacy APIs / shift the consumers to the Healthcare Platform … “Healthcare Platform Completeness” à take everything from the source system and standardize that in the new system. What data needs to be pulled in? Where does it need to live? Review APIs that are being called to the mainframe, what info is needed in HCP?

Analysts define what data needs to come over, engineers get it built and pull it into the standard schema

They write in GoLang, but open to taking Java developers so they can work on multiple apps…
