Senior Backend Software Engineer

Athelas
California, MO Full Time
POSTED ON 1/22/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 4/19/2025

And technological advancements — from electronic health record systems to dictation software — have failed to live up to their promise of making the lives of all healthcare staff easier.
