About the role
At Firely, we build enterprise-grade software that makes health data more accessible and more useful. Our FHIR server is at the heart of that work, helping healthcare organizations around the world exchange data more reliably and efficiently.
Yes, it’s technical. But it’s also meaningful. Better health data exchange means better informed care.
To help us push that further, we’re looking for a talented and curious Backend Developer (.NET) to join our development team. This role is for someone who enjoys owning their work, diving into hard problems, and contributing to a standard that’s shaping the future of healthcare.

-
Contribute to code reviews, technical discussions, and architectural decisions
-
Use AI tools to support development, planning, and quality assurance
-
Collaborate with colleagues and, where relevant, engage with the wider FHIR community
Who we think will thrive here
You’re someone who takes ownership, asks good questions, and cares about the quality of what you ship. You’re energized by technically challenging work, comfortable with ambiguity, and not put off by a spirited debate in the FHIR community.
