Medicare OS Engineer

Overview

As a Medicare Open Systems Engineer with Info crossing INC within our BPS-IHS division, you will play an integral role in managing the entire software development lifecycle for mission-critical healthcare and Medicare software solutions. This position demands expertise in system requirements analysis, design, coding, rigorous testing, implementation, and ongoing support, ensuring we deliver robust, scalable, and compliant systems that meet and exceed healthcare industry standards.

Your technical proficiency will include in-depth familiarity with J2EE architectures, Webservices, and lifecycle management tools, combined with hands-on experience in frameworks such as Struts, Spring, JSF, EJB, Hibernate, or iBatis. Alternately, candidates with .NET and SSRS reporting expertise are equally valued. Experience working with mainframe environments and healthcare domain knowledge will elevate your impact in this role.

Beyond core technical skills, you will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to elicit and validate requirements, ensure quality and compliance, and contribute to process improvements that enhance productivity and software quality. You will be empowered to leverage your knowledge to innovate testing methodologies, automation frameworks, and reporting processes tailored to complex healthcare applications.

This role requires a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline with a minimum of three years’ relevant industry experience. You will be part of an agile, fast-paced environment where continuous learning, iteration, and quality are priorities. A passion for healthcare IT and delivering solutions that positively impact patient care and operations within Medicare programs is highly desirable.

Experience:

Your background should demonstrate significant experience in Java/J2EE  development environments, including proficiency with modern application frameworks and tools. Mastery of Webservices standards, security considerations, and integration techniques is essential.

Familiarity with software design patterns, object-oriented programming principles, and database interactions is important for success in this role. Experience in test automation, continuous integration, and version control systems will be highly advantageous.

The healthcare sector experience, especially Medicare program knowledge, will further enable you to deliver solutions aligned with business and regulatory requirements. We value engineers who understand and actively engage in SDLC best practices, quality assurance, and stakeholder collaboration.
