Technical Support Engineer (NZ)

About Us:

Healthcare is innovating and you can be a part of it. Getting data from one provider to another, or from a provider to a health insurance company, is harder than it should be. Our mission is to change this – to accelerate innovation by easing the data access burden. Imagine developing solutions that accelerate digital transformation. This is what we do at Rhapsody. By providing data exchange and data quality solutions that enable information - such as patient visit details, lab results, and billing balances– to move seamlessly from one system to another. Whether building an application or using one, every piece of the health ecosystem needs Rhapsody as a foundation. 

Most people will not ever see our products (that's how infrastructure works) and services during a medical visit. Our solutions run behind the scenes, and you can think of them as the central nervous system helping to move data to accelerate innovation and improve outcomes. If using your knowledge to help solve this important problem sounds rewarding, apply today at rhapsody.health. 

The shift for this position will align to the US West Coast hours. The shift is currently Tuesday through Saturday, 3:30 to 12:00 NZST.
