Overview:The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) is the nonprofit, applied research division of the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech).Founded in 1934 as the Engineering Experiment Station, GTRI has grown to more than 2,900 employees, supporting eight laboratories in over 20 locations around the country and performing more than $940 million of problem-solving research annually for government and industry.GTRI's renowned researchers combine science, engineering, economics, policy, and technical expertise to solve complex problems for the U.S. federal government, state, and industry.Georgia Tech's Mission and ValuesGeorgia Tech's mission is to develop leaders who advance technology and improve the human condition. The Institute has nine key values that are foundational to everything we do:1. Students are our top priority.2. We strive for excellence.3. We thrive on diversity.4. We celebrate collaboration.5. We champion innovation.6. We safeguard freedom of inquiry and expression.7. We nurture the wellbeing of our community.8. We act ethically.9. We are responsible stewards.Over the next decade, Georgia Tech will become an example of inclusive innovation, a leading technological research university of unmatched scale, relentlessly committed to serving the public good; breaking new ground in addressing the biggest local, national, and global challenges and opportunities of our time; making technology broadly accessible; and developing exceptional, principled leaders from all backgrounds ready to produce novel ideas and create solutions with real human impact.Project/Unit DescriptionThe Health Emerging & Advanced Technologies Division (HEAT-D) has a goal to grow a forward-looking, comprehensive capability in health data exchange and analytics technologies that brings innovative, cross-disciplinary methods and emerging techniques to the laboratory's diverse information science portfolio. Current efforts include a portfolio of projects in federal and state public health, industry and foundational sponsorships, and internally funded research that encompasses clinical phenotyping, natural language processing, machine learning, synthetic data generation and interoperability and security standards and protocols, among other technologies and applications, for data exchange between electronic health records and reporting systems. The corpus of work naturally encompasses crucial cybersecurity and privacy considerations or technologies to ensure data security, HIPAA rules, authentication and authorization protocols, and IRB privacy protocols for research datasets, among others. This work is integral to developing robust and scalable proof-of-concept solutions. The Health Interoperability & Security Branch (HIS-B) focuses on applying health interoperability and security solutions to integrating health data systems for a wide variety of projects in multiple domains, including clinical care, research, public health improvement, cost and quality, and consumer-based health applications.Job PurposeThe Software Engineer designs, develops, and tests software applications and products. Additionally, the Software Engineer manages software development teams, provides technical leadership, and establishes software development lifecycle practices and processes. The Software Engineer is proficient in programming languages such as Java, JavaScript, C, C++, C#, Ruby, Python, Scala, and Groovy. In this role, the Software Engineer requires extensive knowledge of programming languages, software development, computer operating systems, Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD), DevOps, Application Programming Interface (API) development, container development, and distributed systems.
