You will join a mission-driven, high-scale engineering organization focused on building and evolving critical healthcare communication systems used by clinicians and care teams every day. In this role, you will operate as a senior technical leader with broad influence across multiple engineering teams, shaping architecture, driving complex system design decisions, and improving platform reliability at scale. You will work hands-on across backend and frontend systems, contributing directly to production code while also defining engineering standards and long-term technical direction. The environment requires strong cross-functional collaboration with product, architecture, DevOps, and leadership stakeholders to ensure scalable and resilient solutions. You will also play a key role in modernizing infrastructure, improving developer productivity, and strengthening system observability. In addition, you will mentor engineers and help elevate engineering practices across the organization. This is a high-impact role where your decisions directly influence platform stability, performance, and user experience in a mission-critical domain.
• Accountabilities: Lead the design and evolution of distributed systems and platform architecture across multiple teams, ensuring scalability, reliability, and long-term maintainability. Contribute hands-on to production-grade features and system improvements using Python and React, including complex refactors and modernization efforts. Define and enforce engineering standards, patterns, and best practices to improve consistency, performance, and developer productivity. Drive technical initiatives end-to-end, including design documentation, cross-team alignment, implementation, and delivery oversight. Improve CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes deployments, and infrastructure automation using tools such as Docker, Helm, ArgoCD, and Jenkins. Collaborate with DevOps and platform teams to enhance AWS-based infrastructure, observability, and system efficiency. Mentor engineers through code reviews, technical coaching, and knowledge-sharing initiatives such as tech talks and documentation. Requirements: 8+ years of software engineering experience, including significant experience at senior or staff level in distributed, product-focused environments. Strong expertise in Python and at least one web framework (Django, FastAPI, or Flask), with working knowledge of React or similar frontend frameworks. Proven track record of leading complex, multi-team technical initiatives from design through delivery. Deep understanding of distributed systems, including service decomposition, event-driven architecture, caching, APIs, and data consistency. Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and modern CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Helm, ArgoCD). Strong knowledge of PostgreSQL or similar relational databases, including performance tuning, schema design, and scaling strategies. Experience with AWS services such as ECS/EKS, Lambda, RDS, S3, SQS/SNS, and CloudWatch. Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate complex technical concepts for diverse stakeholders. Experience improving engineering culture through mentorship, documentation, and process or tooling enhancements. Experience in regulated environments (e.g., healthcare or HIPAA) and familiarity with observability tools is a plus. Benefits: Competitive compensation package with a base salary range of $170,000 to $210,000 USD, plus potential equity eligibility. Comprehensive health coverage including medical, dental, and vision insurance from day one. 401(k) retirement plan with employer matching and immediate vesting. Generous paid time off including holidays, floating holidays, and flexible vacation policies. Remote-first work environment supporting flexibility and work-life balance. Annual professional development budget for training, certifications, and conferences. Opportunity to contribute to mission-critical healthcare technology with meaningful real-world impact.
