Role Description
HiveRx is a production pharmacy operations platform built for regulated compounding environments. It is actively used, actively growing, and actively being extended across pharmacy workflows, integrations, and compliance-heavy operations.
This role owns core platform development: the features and systems that power every pharmacy we support. That includes sterile compounding workflows, pharmacy-specific operational needs, insurance and ERP touchpoints, and the platform foundations that will eventually support AI-assisted and agentic workflows.
This is not a pure feature-ticket role, and it is not a generic backend role. It requires someone who can understand the business process, the regulatory constraints, the technical architecture, and the long-term platform consequences of what they build.
Job Activities and Responsibilities
-
Build and extend core HiveRx platform capabilities used across regulated pharmacy operations
-
Work on compliance-heavy workflows involving compounding, dispensing, pharmacy configuration, insurance, and operational controls
-
Contribute to architecture decisions for platform features that need to scale across many pharmacies with different workflows
-
Write production-quality Laravel and Vue code that fits the existing system rather than fighting it
-
Participate in QA, release planning, and post-release validation for platform changes
-
Translate business needs and regulatory requirements into detailed, unambiguous feature specifications
-
Research workflows, compliance constraints, vendor APIs, ERP behavior, and integration patterns
-
Help bring more ERP, inventory, finance, and operational integration ownership in-house, with NetSuite experience especially valuable across the hiring slate
-
Work directly with internal stakeholders to extract and validate requirements
-
Write specs that are complete enough to be handed off without a follow-up meeting
-
Support active platform tracks and keep implementation moving without unnecessary consultant dependency
-
Identify gaps, inefficiencies, and risks proactively across data integrity, auditability, workflow edge cases, access control, and operational failure modes
-
Contribute to technical, user-facing, and compliance-relevant documentation
-
Help define implementation standards for HiveRx platform work
-
Raise architectural concerns before they become expensive product problems
-
Other duties as assigned
Qualifications
-
Strong command of PHP and Laravel; you can read, debug, and write production code in a real codebase
-
Comfortable with Vue 3, Inertia.js, Tailwind CSS, and Vite-based frontend tooling
-
Experience designing and maintaining integrations with ERP, finance, inventory, or operational systems is strongly preferred
-
NetSuite experience is especially valuable because we want at least one senior product engineer who can help bring that integration knowledge in-house
-
Able to work within an established architecture without needing to rebuild it
-
Experience working in or building software for regulated industries, preferably healthcare
-
Understanding of compliance considerations that affect software design: audit trails, data integrity, access control, and change documentation
-
Familiarity with pharmacy, compounding, dispensing, ERP, or adjacent workflows is a meaningful plus
-
Able to learn pharmacy workflows deeply enough to make correct product and engineering decisions
-
Comfortable using AI tools as a productivity layer for research, code review, implementation support, and documentation
-
Able to critically evaluate AI-generated code and documentation, especially in compliance-sensitive contexts
-
Understands where AI output requires extra scrutiny: edge cases, regulatory logic, data handling, and integration boundaries
-
Strong technical writer; your specs require minimal clarification
-
Able to communicate clearly with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders
-
Detail-oriented without being slow; you know when a spec is done
-
Comfortable explaining tradeoffs, risks, and implementation constraints clearly
-
Senior ownership mentality; you do not wait for perfect instructions before structuring the work
-
Comfortable with ambiguity; able to impose structure on it
-
Skeptical in the right ways; you look for failure modes before they reach production
-
Not looking for a role with clean lines; this role has overlap by design and requires someone who can context-switch without losing quality
