Public Health API Engineer

About Us

Flourish and Thrive Labs is a woman-owned and led consulting firm specializing in public health solutions. Our team, composed of former public health officials, works with state and local health departments across the country, building resilient public health operating systems. We pride ourselves on being different, holding ourselves to high ethical standards, and taking care of each other.

We view our company as an urban neighborhood-a diverse group of individuals coming together to live and work, embracing the beauty in that diversity. We are a wacky bunch who are intent on spreading joy! (We just mailed out stickers to over 200 local health health professionals because we felt they could use more joy!)

As Salesforce, Microsoft, Snowflake, and AWS partners, we specialize in technology implementation with a strong people focus. We combine this with strategic planning, data analysis, coaching, and facilitation to effectively support local public health department staff.

Our core values are:

People First
Focus on Capacity Building
Belief in Continuous Experimentation
By Public Heath; For Public Health
We Do What Is Right. Always.

We're seeking passionate, joyful individuals who align with our ethos of being different and making a difference.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR A TEAM MEMBER WITH PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERIENCE (LOCAL/ TRIBAL/ STATE/ FEDERAL).

About Consulting at F&T Labs

If you're new to consulting, we want to help you understand what makes F&T Labs different and why our approach might be perfect for you. We know transitioning from government and non-profit to consulting can be a big step, but we've designed our work environment to blend the best of both worlds.

First, let's talk about how we work. Unlike traditional consulting firms, we hire you for a role, not a specific project. This means you can contribute to various initiatives that match your expertise and interests. Think of it as bringing your public health superpowers to different challenges where they're needed most.

We believe in measuring what matters. While many consulting firms focus on billable hours, we care about the quality and impact of your work. Time sheets don't measure your success with us - it's measured by the meaningful solutions you help create for our clients and their communities.

Yes, we have utilization targets (consulting speak for how much of your time is spent on client work), but we view these as guideposts rather than strict rules. They help us ensure we're making a sustainable impact while maintaining a healthy business. These targets are meant to motivate, not to create stress.

One of the most dynamic aspects of consulting is its natural rhythm. Some weeks might be bustling with activity, while others might be quieter. We embrace these ebbs and flows because they create space for both intense, focused work and time for learning, reflection, and personal growth. This is part of our philosophy that work and life shouldn't be at odds - they should be integrated in a sustainable and energizing way.

At our core, we're built on a simple belief: when our team members flourish, our clients flourish, and ultimately, communities thrive. That's why we've created an environment that supports your growth, values your expertise, and understands that the best solutions come from people who feel empowered and energized by their work.

If you're passionate about public health and excited about the possibility of expanding your impact through consulting, we'd love to talk with you. Your experience in public health is valuable, and we're here to help you apply it in new and meaningful ways.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR A TEAM MEMBER WITH GOVERNMENTAL PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERIENCE (LOCAL / TRIBAL / STATE / FEDERAL). IF YOU HAVE THAT EXPERIENCE IN ADDITION TO API ENGINEERING SKILLS, PLEASE ENSURE IT IS CLEAR ON YOUR RESUME.

What do we mean by governmental public health? We're looking for people who have worked directly for a public health agency: a local health department, tribal health organization, state health department, or federal public health agency like CDC or HRSA. We require this because there's no substitute for the lived experience of navigating government systems, understanding the constraints public health staff face, and developing genuine empathy for the people doing this work. That empathy shapes how we build solutions.

Compensation Note: If a salary range is listed for this position, please note that we will be offering at the starting point of the band. We cover 100% of your health insurance!

Role Overview

We're seeking a Senior API Engineer who pairs deep integration and API design expertise with a strong understanding of public health operations. You'll own API and integration architecture on complex implementations, coach less experienced engineers, and shape how data moves between the systems that public health teams depend on every day.

This role is about building APIs and integrations that fit how public health actually operates. Your background in public health means you understand the human stakes of this work. A delayed notification, a dropped record, or a broken data feed affects real people and real public health responses. You'll anticipate needs that clients haven't named yet, push back on designs that won't hold up in production, and advocate for the end users who rely on these systems.

You'll work on our PH360 platform and on client implementations that often involve inherited integrations built by previous vendors. You'll partner with Salesforce developers, solution architects, and QA to make APIs reliable, observable, and aligned with API-led best practices. You'll also coach client technical teams, helping them adopt sound patterns and grow their skills.

If you've ever inherited a tangle of integrations and wanted to set them right, this is your chance to build it right.

How You'll Work

You'll be part of an Agile Release Train (ART) that follows SAFe principles. This means:

Program Increment (PI) Planning: You'll participate in quarterly planning sessions, helping shape the integration roadmap and contributing your public health perspective
Sprint Collaboration: You'll work in two-week sprints with daily standups, regular backlog refinement, and sprint retrospectives
Technical Leadership: You'll guide API and integration architecture decisions and help less experienced engineers grow their skills
Cross-functional Partnership: You'll work closely with Salesforce developers, solutions analysts, architects, and QA to ensure what we build truly serves our clients

Key Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain APIs and integrations across the API-led layers (System, Process, and Experience)
Lead API architecture discussions and contribute to solution design alongside architects
Audit inherited APIs and integrations and propose corrections, including restructuring services that sit at the wrong architectural layer
Coach client technical teams on API best practices, helping them move from ad-hoc patterns to sound API-led design
Mentor junior engineers through pair programming, code reviews, and direct guidance
Write clean, well-documented, testable code with robust error handling, retry logic, and observability
Identify and resolve complex integration challenges across Salesforce, notification platforms, and other connected systems
Collaborate with Salesforce developers and QA to ensure end-to-end quality across integrated workflows
Translate public health workflows into reliable, scalable API and integration patterns
Contribute to code reviews with constructive, supportive feedback

Experience Required

5+ years of hands-on API development and systems integration experience at a senior level
1-3 years working for a governmental public health agency (local, state, federal, or tribal)
Strong backend engineering background in Java, Python, Node.js, or a comparable language
Experience working in Agile or SAFe environments
Strong collaboration and communication skills
Track record of mentoring or guiding less experienced engineers, including across organizational boundaries

Technical Requirements

Expertise in API-led connectivity and clear judgment on when a service belongs at the System, Process, or Experience layer
Experience designing API contracts with OpenAPI Specification (OAS), RAML, or equivalent
Deep experience with REST and SOAP APIs, including OAuth 2.0, mTLS, and JWT
Strong data transformation skills across JSON, XML, and flat-file formats
Familiarity with asynchronous messaging patterns, including queues, topics, and event streams (SQS, SNS, Kafka, Anypoint MQ, or similar)
Experience deploying and operating services in cloud or hybrid environments (AWS preferred)
Proficiency in automated unit and integration testing, with meaningful coverage of integration flows
Strong understanding of error handling, retry strategies, and observability in distributed systems
Experience with API gateways and lifecycle management
Experience with version control (Git) and CI/CD practices (Maven, GitHub Actions, or comparable tooling)

Preferred Qualifications

MuleSoft development experience on Mule 4, including Anypoint Studio, API Manager, Runtime Manager, DataWeave, and MUnit
MuleSoft Certified Developer or MuleSoft Certified Integration Architect
Experience integrating with Salesforce (Bulk API, Streaming API, Platform Events, Change Data Capture)
Familiarity with HIPAA compliance requirements and PHI handling in integrations
Experience with SAFe Agile methodology
Background in public health data systems, including HL7, FHIR, immunization information systems (IIS), or electronic case reporting (eCR)
Experience with notification platforms and event-driven architectures
Experience building or consuming AI and LLM APIs (AWS Bedrock or similar)
