Lead Software Engineer

Primary Responsibilities

• Lead technical design for epics/features; break down complex work into implementable increments and ensure delivery meets acceptance criteria and quality bars
• Remain hands-on building software in .NET and/or Python, contributing directly to critical services, pipelines, or UI components
• Influence engineering decisions across a team/domain, setting direction on architecture, patterns, and engineering standards while staying hands-on
• Mentor engineers through code/design reviews, pairing, and guidance on best practices in testing, performance, and operational readiness
• Demonstrate and utilize AI-based tools to improve the software development lifecycle

Engineering Excellence (Quality, Security, Operations)

• Champion secure engineering and proactively identify/close security gaps in solution design and delivery
• Build and operate production-grade services and pipelines with strong reliability practices (observability, diagnostics, incident response readiness)
• Drive CI/CD and automated testing practices to improve delivery velocity without sacrificing safety and compliance

Team Mentorship and Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Mentor and guide engineers; help develop strong engineering habits through coaching, pairing, code review rigor, and design guidance
• Participate in Agile ceremonies (standups, refinement, planning, retrospectives) and improve team execution and predictability
• Partner with product, architecture, SRE, security, data/AI teams, and stakeholders to align technical implementation with platform goals
• Communicate tradeoffs clearly and raise risks early, ensuring shared understanding across distributed teams

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of professional software engineering experience (or equivalent depth of experience delivering production systems)
• 5+ years of development experience with .NET, JavaScript, and/or Python (one may be primary; the others can be working proficiency)
• 4+ years of professional experience in at least one specialty area (pick one): Backend/API Engineering, Data engineering and Analytics, Front-end/web Engineering
• 3+ years of experience in relational databases (SQL)
• 3+ years of development and operational experience in the public cloud (Azure preferred)
• 2+ years of demonstrated ability to lead technical design and influence engineering decisions across a team/domain
• Comprehensive understanding of software engineering fundamentals: testing, CI/CD, secure coding, performance, and operational readiness

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in healthcare
• Expert understanding of engineering fundamentals: unit testing, code reviews, telemetry, agile and DevOps
• Hands-on experience leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs)
• Experience with microservices and event-driven architecture (APIs, messaging) supporting high-availability systems
• Experience designing secure, compliant systems in regulated environments; demonstrated security-minded engineering
• Data/AI platform experience (e.g., building or operating analytics/ML pipelines and/or data products that enable monitoring and trustworthy delivery of insights)
• Infrastructure as Code and cloud automation (e.g., Terraform) for repeatable environments
