Location:

Reports to: CIO Engineering & Data

At Cortrucent, we do more than safeguard businesses, we empower them to thrive through IT innovation, cybersecurity, and business transformation.

To be the most trusted technology partner for organizations that take their security, their operations, and their future seriously.

Our mission is to be the partner organizations rely on for security, IT, and building AI-driven solutions, delivering on one promise every day:
Securing Business. Enabling Growth.

• Trust
  - We earn it through competence, discretion, and doing what we say we will do. Our clients hand us their most critical systems, and we treat that responsibility accordingly.
• Transparency
  - We communicate openly about progress, pricing, and problems. Bad news travels fast here, and surfacing issues early is rewarded, never punished.
• Teamwork
  - We share knowledge, review each other's work, and succeed together. No silos, no territory, no heroes working alone.

Cortrucent is seeking a Junior Full Stack Developer. We build and maintain healthcare technology platforms used by hospital systems and their patients, a clinical document exchange and eligibility application, and a companion patient-facing portal. Both handle protected health information under HIPAA and integrate with payer, clearinghouse, and provider systems.

This is a hand-on role for someone early in their career who codes well and uses AI development tools well. You'll write, review, test, and ship application code, some of it drafted by AI coding assistants, all of it your responsibility to understand, verify, and defend in code review. We are explicitly not looking for someone who accepts generated code at face value.

You will work closely with senior engineers, with structured onboarding and real ownership.

• Build and modify API endpoints and backend service logic in Python.
• Write and modify front-end components and screens, including work in large existing files.
• Write and tune SQL and author schema changes by hand.

• Write tests alongside your code and treat test coverage as part of the work rather than an afterthought.
• Reproduce and fix defects reported by clients and internal QA.
