Job Description
HealthPartners is currently hiring a Software Engineer – Frontend & Developer Experience. This role supports the modernization of Health Plan administrative and claims user interfaces. The engineer is responsible for building clear, consistent, and high performing user experiences using modern frontend technologies, while partnering closely with backend and IRIS platform teams. This engineer will also contribute to improving developer productivity through better tooling, testing practices, and documentation.
In addition to core software development responsibilities, this role supports the integration of AI‑assisted tools into enterprise development workflows. The focus is on applying AI within established prompts, guardrails, and human‑in‑the‑loop validation to enhance development efficiency and understanding of complex systems, while maintaining strong engineering judgment and hands‑on development practices.
The ideal candidate understands that healthcare frontend systems must be reliable, intuitive, and intentionally thin, with business logic residing in backend services. They enjoy working at the intersection of modern and legacy systems and recognize that effective modernization is incremental rather than a full rewrite.
This is a newly created role reporting to the Director of Healthplan Administrative Systems. The position is part of a fifty-three-three-person department and will be one of fifteen direct reports, working alongside Developers, Engineers, Scrum Masters, and Managers.
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, MIS, Business Administration, or equivalent experience.
- Three (3) years of experience developing modern web applications.
- Strong experience with React (PrimeReact preferred); AngularJS experience is also acceptable.
- Experience consuming REST APIs and working with backend teams.
- Experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar) to improve developer productivity, code quality, or documentation.
- Understanding front-end performance, accessibility, and usability.
- Ability to work in a complex, regulated enterprise environment.
- Willingness and ability to learn healthcare workflows and backend system constraints.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Four or more (4) + years of experience developing modern web applications.
- Experience with PrimeReact, Redux, or similar libraries.
- Experience working with Java/Spring Boot or other backend platforms.
- Experience designing or using agentic AI workflows (e.g., AI agents for code generation, refactoring assistance, test creation, or knowledge extraction from legacy systems).
- Familiarity with integrating AI tools into enterprise development workflows, including prompt engineering, guardrails, and human‑in‑the‑loop validation.
- Familiarity with healthcare or insurance applications.
- Experience improving developer experience (testing, tooling, documentation).
- Experience using AI assisted tools for UI scaffolding, test generation, and documentation.
Hours/Location:
- M-F; core business hours
- This is a hybrid position with the flexibility to work primarily remotely, with occasional onsite presence required for meetings or workgroup sessions.
- The role participates in an on-call rotation shared across the team, averaging approximately 2–4 weeks per year.
Responsibilities:
- Design and develop user interfaces for Claims and Health Plan applications.
- Ensure frontend implementations follow established architectural patterns and boundaries.
- Partner with backend teams to deliver cohesive end-to-end functionality.
- Implement unit and integration tests for UI components.
- Help standardize frontend patterns and improve developer productivity.
- Participate in troubleshooting and production support as needed.
