Are you a high-performing, collaborative, results-oriented and technologically savvy person who is keen on sales in the digital industry? Then this highly visible role is for you!

Our client is the Health-tech initiative of India's largest business house. Started in 2015, it empowers healthcare providers and consumers in India. All healthcare monitoring services are made available through an app that will help connect doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, laboratories, and consumers, enabling preventive and predictive healthcare. It helps the care-givers to track the entire patient journey from the initial appointment and maintaining their records, generating lab test reports to providing virtual consultation and home-care solutions. It is expected that this futuristic guide will strengthen the doctor-patient relationship and enhance the in-clinic experience.

As the Sr. Java Developer, you will be responsible for developing cutting edge health-tech applications that include high scale transaction processing, intelligent bot-based programs, and data analytics

What you will do:

• Building components for the companys advanced health-tech platform using Java, Solr, SpringBoot, DialogFlow
• Communicating effectively in a cross-functional product development team and presenting ideas and solutions effectively

What you need to have:

We are looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer (Integrations) to contribute to PriceLabs' ambitious plans.

What you will learn at PriceLabs:

Scaling:

• We currently exchange tens of millions of prices between us and our partners multiple times every day! As we continue to grow, designing our architecture to keep working seamlessly is going to need a lot of teamwork 
• Doubling in size every year brings unique scaling challenges. Our product started with one single server doing everything needed, but over time we've created a fairly distributed architecture of micro-services. Ensuring our systems continue to provide the same level of service with twice the number of customers next year teaches us (and you!) forward thinking!

Fundamentals:

• We have a very strong emphasis on fundamentals - writing code in strict memory requirements, setting up a server from scratch, being able to use open source services (like nginx, mysql, linux servers, redis, rabbitmq) to get the best performance out sets our team up for long term success.
• Implementing to the standards of operating systems, working in a thread safe/unsafe environment.
• Understand how servers interact with each other in a data center. How does nginx and unicorn power the communication for our APIs.

Expect strong collaboration with customer facing, design and data science teams!

New products:

• We have a lot of ground level infrastructure available for us to build new products for both our customers and our industry partners to use. Architecting these systems from scratch is a joy in itself (our team has done this a few times!)

Amazing team:

• Our engineering team is very focused on getting things done, and getting them done the right way so the last long! Write better code everyday, solving customer and co-worker pain points, and learning from our peers is what keeps us going!

Responsibilities:
