Why this is worth applying to
Worth considering only if you already have 3+ years of Java/full-stack engineering experience or a strong software portfolio. Clinicians without coding experience should treat this as a long-term upskilling target rather than a direct pivot.
Who should apply
Clinicians with prior software engineering experience, computer science or bootcamp training, and Java/Spring full-stack projects; clinical informatics professionals who code; healthcare graduates with engineering internships or production software experience.
CV angle
Lead with Java, Spring Boot, full-stack development, automated testing, CI/CD, Agile delivery, and AI-assisted development. Frame healthcare/clinical background as domain context for Optum's care and pharmacy data products, but do not imply clinical work was software engineering.

- Java
- Spring Boot
- Full-stack development
- React/Angular
- Automated testing (JUnit/TestNG/Mockito)
- CI/CD (Git/Maven/Jenkins)
