Athena Developer & Integration AnalystAbout the RoleMatter Health is seeking a hands-on, technically skilled Athena Developer & Integration Analyst to join our Information Technology team. This individual contributor role will own the development, extension, and integration of our EHR ecosystem, serving as the organization's go-to technical resource on the athenaOne API suite, custom endpoint development, and platform-level configuration.
Our value-based care model depends on a deeply extended, tightly integrated athenaOne platform to support our field-based clinical teams. You will build against athenahealth's 800+ endpoint API surface, architect integrations, and extend what athenaOne can do for our care teams-while also evaluating and introducing AI and agentic tooling that can reduce documentation burden and surface clinical insight for the people doing the work.
This is primarily a software engineering role: writing code against athenahealth's APIs, designing integrations, and extending platform capabilities. Platform administration and configuration are a critical but secondary function, providing senior-level expertise in support of existing administrative capability. This position reports to the Chief Technology Officer. This is a fully remote role with up to 10% travel for occasional in-person meetings or team offsites.
Key Responsibilities- Design, develop, and maintain custom integrations and extensions on the athenaOne platform using athenahealth's REST and FHIR APIs across Clinicals, Collector, Communicator, and Population Health endpoints
- Own the full API development lifecycle for athenaOne integrations, including sandbox testing, OAuth 2.0 authentication and token management, endpoint evaluation, versioning, and production rollout
- Evaluate and prototype AI and agentic tooling within the athenahealth ecosystem-including Marketplace AI-powered solutions and LLM-based workflow automation-to reduce documentation burden and surface clinical insight for field-based care teams
- Monitor athenahealth API changelogs and release notes, evaluate new endpoints and capabilities as they are released, and manage regression testing and rollout of platform and integration updates
- Work directly with athenahealth's developer support and partner teams to resolve API issues, request custom endpoints, and pilot new AI-enabled capabilities
- Design, build, and maintain bidirectional integrations between athenaClinicals and Salesforce, including the middleware, webhooks, and custom API calls that keep both systems in sync
- Manage authentication, data mapping, transformation logic, and error handling for inbound and outbound data flows-including referrals, care plans, visit data, care team updates, and SDOH data-using REST, HL7, and FHIR-based interfaces as appropriate
- Partner with clinical leadership to translate workflow needs into athenaClinicals build and configuration, moving fluidly between configuration and code as needed
- Provide senior-level backup on athenaOne administration, including user roles and provider setup, departments and permission structures, templates, order sets, and quality and HCC risk-capture workflows tailored to a DSNP, dual-eligible population
- Maintain technical documentation of integration architecture, API usage, data mappings, system configuration, and change history for audit and compliance purposes
- Troubleshoot API errors, data sync failures, and integration issues across the athenaOne platform and the Salesforce-athenaClinicals integration, serving as the primary internal point of contact for EHR functionality and technical integration questions
QualificationsRequired- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Health Informatics, Information Systems, or a related field; equivalent experience considered
- 3-5 years of experience working with athenahealth products, with the majority in hands-on API development against athenaOne/athenaClinicals REST and FHIR endpoints
- Demonstrated, hands-on experience designing, building, and maintaining custom integrations using athenahealth's APIs, including OAuth-based authentication, webhook configuration, and endpoint-level troubleshooting
- Proficiency with at least one modern programming or scripting language such as Python, JavaScript/Node.js, or Java for API development
- Working knowledge of HL7 v2 and FHIR R4 data standards
- Working familiarity with athenaClinicals configuration and administration, including user and provider setup, templates, and order sets
- Understanding of HIPAA and healthcare data privacy and security requirements as they apply to system configuration and integrations
- Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to collaborate across technical, clinical, and operational teams
Preferred- Hands-on experience with Salesforce or a comparable CRM or care-coordination platform integration
- Experience with AI or agentic tooling in the athenahealth ecosystem, such as Marketplace AI-powered apps, ambient documentation tools, or LLM-based workflow automation
- Familiarity with quality measures, HCC and risk adjustment documentation, and special needs plan (DSNP) reporting requirements
- Experience in home-based care, geriatrics, or value-based care settings
- Experience in a fast-growing, mission-driven healthcare organization
What Success Looks Like- athenaOne integrations are reliable, well-documented, and actively maintained in production with clear ownership
- The Salesforce-athenaClinicals integration is stable, accurate, and supports seamless care coordination across clinical and operational teams
- New athenahealth API capabilities and AI-enabled tools are evaluated proactively and piloted where they can meaningfully reduce burden on clinical teams
- Clinical and operational stakeholders have a trusted, responsive internal resource for EHR functionality and integration questions
- Integration architecture, API usage, and system configuration are thoroughly documented and audit-ready
- Platform updates and API changes are managed with minimal disruption to clinical workflows
