Athenahealth Multiple Software Job Openings
Athenahealth is growing at a meteoric rate, and we're aggressively hiring at all levels. Our goal is to bring order to the chaos of U.S. healthcare, in which hundreds of thousands of medical practices navigate a Byzantine set of clinical and business processes wrought by decades of managed care. We do this by offering a software-as-service solution that embeds insurance rules and clinical processes directly into our practice management & electronic medical platform. In essence, we are building an operating system for the medical office that abstracts away administrative complexity, leaving doctors free to practice medicine.
The development team here is among the best you'd find at any company in the world. The working environment is friendly and open. The folks that you will be working with are top-notch, and will probably be some of the best and brightest folks you've ever worked with regardless of where you're coming from-folks who would otherwise work at Google, Oracle, hedge funds, or startups, but have decided to come here because they want to help change healthcare at a fundamental level and believe that we honestly have a shot.
In terms of the technology platform-- you'll likely be working on Linux with Oracle, perl/modperl, and Apache, with plenty of Web 2.0 techniques thrown into the mix. But that's not why you'd be coming here; we believe any hacker worth his/her salt can pick this stuff up in a matter of a couple of months. We're more interested in folks with raw talent and a burning desire to succeed. The types of problems you might work on are wide-ranging-from core performance tuning to optimizing paper-based processes using OCR to writing AJAX widgets in complicated (yet simple!) user interfaces.
We're aggressively growing at all levels. Compensation is competitive, and as long as you get stuff done, we're flexible about work schedules. If you'd like to apply, shoot over a resume. The only real technical requirement for applying is being able to make a computer do what you want it to do.
We have several Development job openings at all levels, from entry-level to management. Apply here to be considered for all appropriate roles.
Foundational Competencies:
All athena employees must demonstrate the following:
· Integrity- conducting business and personal transactions in a legal, ethical, fair and responsible manner as well as engendering trust, respect and loyalty from others; Teaching- conveying knowledge, insights and expertise to others - using both formal and informal methods - to show employees the best way to tackle problems and achieve objectives;
· Learning- passionately pursuing knowledge by showing a persistent and proactive interest in gaining new insights, as well as acquiring new skills and experiences based on professional needs or growth;
· Team Work- placing the success of the team and company above personal achievement to help attain athenahealth's corporate and social mission. This occurs by athenistas encouraging cooperation between team members, valuing others' contributions, taking an active role in and sponsoring team activities and consulting with others, including cross-functional groups, on a wide variety of issues;
· Adaptability- showing flexibility and the ability to cope when faced with changing conditions or diverse circumstances. It underscores the importance of staying positive and productive during periods of change or significant growth, and responding constructively to frustrations or obstacles while remaining continually focused and in alignment with the overall athenahealth mission, as well as the missions and goals of one's department;
• Communication skills- fluently expressing oneself by conveying information and opinions in a clear, open, professional and respectful manner in all oral and written communications with other athenistas, internal/external clients, payors and vendors.
Technical Requirements
· Substantial expertise in at least one of the following programming languages: C, C++, Perl, Java, Visual Basic, etc;
· Preferred skills include previous web development experience, UNIX/Linux familiarity, Perl, Java, RDBMS experience (particularly with Oracle)

About the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation
The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation was established in 1966 by Ewing Kauffman, founder of Marion Laboratories (now Aventis Pharmaceuticals) and original owner of the Kansas City Royals Baseball Club. Based in Kansas City, Missouri, the Kauffman Foundation is a private, nonpartisan foundation that works with partners to encourage entrepreneurship across America and to improve the education of children and youth. With over $1 billion in assets, the Kauffman Foundation is one of the twenty-five largest foundations in the United States.
The Kauffman Foundation promotes entrepreneurial success at all levels. It works with leading educators and researchers nationwide to create awareness of the powerful economic impact of entrepreneurship, to develop and disseminate proven programs that enhance entrepreneurial skills and abilities, and to improve the environment in which entrepreneurs start and grow businesses. The Foundation's entrepreneurship work is nationwide; its impact, global.
In education, the Kauffman Foundation has supported education initiatives for twenty years-programs that spanned from drug/alcohol and dropout prevention to early education programs and large-scale school reform initiatives. Today, we have set in motion a new emphasis on math and science as the cornerstone of our education agenda. We believe a strong emphasis on math and science education is the critical next step for our nation's future.
We understand that the strength of our economy is driven by advancement in science and technology, and the ripple effect for society from such innovations are enormous-from revolutionary products that benefit the way we live, to the spawning of new companies, and even to the birth of new markets that create jobs and improve living standards.
More information about the Kauffman Foundation is available at http://www.kauffman.org/.
During the summer of 2009, Kauffman Foundation internships will be awarded in the following disciplines:
ADVANCING INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Innovators are the lifeblood of entrepreneurship, yet many innovations languish in university labs or get bogged down by the long development and marketing process. The Kauffman Foundation has begun working with several universities and other organizations to more fully understand the complexities of this issue and to develop practical solutions to help bring many more innovations to market.
Candidate qualifications: We are seeking students in various engineering fields with experience and interest in bringing technologies to the marketplace. Students familiar with technology transfer or commercialization of new innovations should apply for this internship.
In addition to traditional summer internships, this department also offers non-seasonal opportunities for students interested in externship, fellowship or other academic exchange. If you desire to explore this type of opportunity, please write a letter expressing your interest and transmit your credentials at any time during the year.
COMMUNICATIONS
The Communications group supports the Foundation's programs by planning and developing internal and external communications, including production of collateral, advertising, video, news releases, web site content, media relationships, publishing and publicizing research studies and supporting the Foundation's presence at meetings and conferences.
Candidate qualifications: We seek an intern with an undergraduate or graduate status who is majoring in journalism, public relations, mass communications or related disciplines. Strong consideration will be given to candidates with existing experience with new media communications and venues such as blogs.
EDUCATION
We focus our K-12 educational programming on promoting research and policies that grow innovative, sustainable enterprises and improve the academic achievement of children in the areas of mathematics, engineering, technology and science (METS) education. We emphasize the manner in which new technologies and innovative ideas can transform learning environments. This includes the use of 3-D immersive environments and mobile learning devices such as cell phones and iPods.
Candidate qualifications: Qualified interns will be an undergraduate or graduate student with a focus in public policy, public administration, educational research, or a college student majoring in a METS related discipline.
INVESTMENTS
The Foundation's Investments team supports the Foundation's goals by managing a globally diversified, multi-billion dollar portfolio allocated among world-class investment firms.
Candidate qualifications: This team seeks an intern with an undergraduate or graduate student status, with a focus in business administration, economics, finance, mathematics, statistics, informatics, physics, engineering or related quantitative field. We will place an emphasis on candidates with demonstrated statistical and quantitative analysis skills. Students with experience using the Matlab Financial Toolbox are preferred.
LEGAL
The Legal group directs and implements all legal aspects of the Foundation's operations. The group provides advice and counsel with a focus on compliance with nonprofit tax laws and regulations. There is also much focus on intellectual property matters, investments, governance and employment. The legal team also participates in the agreements process and is involved with resolving grantmaking issues.
Candidate qualifications: We seek an intern who has completed his or her first year of law school at a top ranked program.
MINORITY ENTREPRENEURSHIP
The Minority Entrepreneurship team helps strengthen the infrastructures and networks that help minority entrepreneurs be successful. The Urban Entrepreneur Partnership, a one-stop economic empowerment center for minority and urban business owners, is one of several initiatives the Minority Entrepreneurship team has developed.
Candidate qualifications: We are seeking an intern who is studying public affairs, public administration, domestic policy, urban policy or a similar field of study.
OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
In addition to guiding the Foundation and its culture, the Office of the President seeks to articulate the role of entrepreneurship in fostering greater democracy and freedom around the world. Scholarly research and writing examines the historical significance, special character, and high aspirations of philanthropic foundations to influence the American dialogue. A restless pursuit of different viewpoints and a healthy suspicion toward the status quo bring research and reason to the public discourse. Research areas may include economics, political science, and history.
Candidate qualifications: Students whose majors require extraordinary research and writing projects in history, policy, law, government and economics are encouraged to apply.
RESEARCH & POLICY
The Foundation aims to elevate the importance that both academic researchers and policy makers give to the study of entrepreneurship, placing entrepreneurship as a field of research in the academic mainstream. To accomplish this, we are working with grantees and others to pursue new knowledge in key subject areas critical to better understanding and legitimizing entrepreneurship.
Candidate qualifications: We seek interns with a focus in economics, law, public policy or other social sciences.
To Apply: Interested applicants are asked to submit qualifications, including a cover letter and resume via the online submission process at www.kauffman.org/internships. Only applications submitted online will be considered.
