The Opportunity

The Software Engineer II is a hands-on builder within the product-led Software Engineering team in Abbott's cancer diagnostics division, focused on Digital Engineering and Integrations. This team owns the customer-facing portals that serve patients, providers, and payers, along with the integrations that power them. You will design, build, and run secure, reliable, full-stack services on AWS, working in a squad that owns its product end to end. You will write high-quality code, strengthen how we build, and help the engineers around you grow.

We are looking for someone who builds with the full lifecycle in mind: thoughtful design, solid testing, and real responsibility for how services run once they are live. The ideal candidate is a strong collaborator, shares what they know and learn generously, and is able to work towards solid solutions.

What You'll Work On

• Build RESTful and GraphQL APIs, services, and event-driven integrations using Java, Spring Boot, and messaging platforms such as Kafka, with attention to versioning, error handling, and idempotency.
• Contribute to front-end work, building responsive, accessible user interfaces using Angular, TypeScript, RxJS, HTML, and CSS.
• Treat performance, availability, observability, security, and compliance requirements as first-class parts of every design, not afterthoughts.
• Write and automate unit and integration tests that give the team confidence to ship often.
• Deploy and operate services on AWS using containers and infrastructure as code, supported by GitLab CI/CD pipelines.
• Contribute to design discussions and code reviews and help raise the quality bar across the squad.
• Work within their team in an Agile environment to deliver features that serve our portal users.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field, or equivalent experience, plus 5+ years of related software engineering experience.
• Demonstrated experience building and supporting distributed microservices in production using Java or a comparable object-oriented language, a framework such as Spring Boot, and RESTful or GraphQL APIs, including event-driven integrations with messaging platforms such as Kafka.
• Experience building and running services on a major cloud platform such as AWS or Azure.
• Experience with SQL and relational database skills.
• Experience writing automated unit and integration tests, and working with Git, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience troubleshooting issues across application services, APIs, databases, and cloud infrastructure.
• Strong written, verbal, and listening communication skills, with the ability to collaborate within their team and independently own technical deliverables.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building user interfaces with Angular, TypeScript, and RxJS, with a solid grounding in HTML, CSS, and accessibility basics, and with state management (NgRx) or micro-frontend approaches.
• Experience with AI-assisted software engineering tools such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or equivalent solutions.
• Experience with AWS services such as EKS/ECS, S3, RDS, Lambda, and IAM.
• Experience with Terraform or Kubernetes.
• Knowledge of NoSQL databases.
• Knowledge of securing APIs using Spring Security and OAuth 2/OIDC.
• Willingness to work in a regulated industry (such as healthcare or life sciences).
