Role Description This is a remote-first role that may require travel to Boston, MA for new hire onboarding and occasional in-person team meetings and company events. We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join our Engineering team. In this role, you will build and operate mission-critical healthcare technology that powers prior authorization for health plans covering 15+ million members. You'll work across the full stack — backend services, event-driven pipelines, and provider-facing web applications — to deliver systems that healthcare practitioners and clinical operations teams depend on daily. You'll partner closely with product, design, clinical, and platform teams to ship high-quality software in a complex, multi-tenant healthcare environment. This is an opportunity to solve distributed systems problems where engineering quality directly impacts patient access to care. What you’ll do: - Own epic-level efforts end-to-end — from technical design and milestone decomposition through implementation, testing, and production deployment. - Design, build, and maintain services and applications across the full stack: backend (Java, Groovy/Grails), frontend (React, TypeScript), data (MongoDB), and event-driven messaging (Kafka). - Proactively identify systemic technical risks including performance bottlenecks, reliability gaps, data consistency issues, and accumulated technical debt — proposing and executing solutions. - Evaluate technical approaches through design docs, pilots, and experiments — documenting decisions, tradeoffs, and outcomes to inform team direction. - Mentor engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and pairing — fostering a culture of ownership, learning, and technical excellence. - Lead technical design discussions, bringing data-driven analysis and written tradeoffs to resolve ambiguity and align cross-functional stakeholders. - Ensure launch readiness for your epics — comprehensive testing, rollout strategy, monitoring, and rollback plans — coordinating across teams when dependencies exist. - Collaborate with cross-functional teams (product, design, clinical, platform) to deliver high-quality experiences while balancing quality, delivery timelines, and operational constraints. Qualifications - 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with increasing scope and ownership. - Strong backend development experience using Java or Groovy, including designing and operating production-grade services. - Experience building modern web applications with React, JavaScript, and TypeScript. - Hands-on experience with NoSQL data stores (e.g., MongoDB), including schema design and query optimization. - Demonstrated ability to own and deliver epic-sized efforts — decomposing work into milestones, leading execution, and shipping with design-doc quality. - Experience building systems that integrate with external partners or upstream data sources, including APIs and event- or message-driven workflows (Kafka or similar). - Proficiency with modern development practices including version control (Git), automated testing, and CI/CD pipelines. - Strong collaboration skills and ability to work effectively across team boundaries with product, design, and engineering partners. - Proven ability to mentor other engineers and elevate team quality through reviews and technical guidance. - Bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or equivalent practical experience. - Experience in healthcare or life sciences industry, plus. - Familiarity with healthcare interoperability standards (FHIR, HL7), plus. - Experience with multi-tenant systems handling client-specific configurations at scale, plus. - Experience with API decomposition or monolith-to-services migration patterns, plus. - Hands-on experience with test frameworks such as Cypress, Playwright, JUnit, or Jest, plus. - Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS) and distributed systems at scale, plus. Benefits - 💻 Fully remote opportunity with about 5% travel. - 🩺 Medical, dental, vision, life, disability insurance, and Employee Assistance Program. - 📈 401K retirement plan with company match; flexible spending and health savings account. - 🏝️ Flex Time Off + company holidays. - 👶 Up to 14 weeks of paid parental leave. - 🐶 Pet insurance.
