Staff Software Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Technical Leadership & Architecture: Define the long-term technical vision and architectural roadmap for FuzeRx’s B2B and consumer platforms. Drive decisions around microservices design, API design, database schemas, and data pipelines.
• Engineering Excellence & Code Quality: Lead by example by writing clean, highly optimized, and maintainable code for critical system components. Establish engineering standards, champion rigorous code reviews, and advocate for modern testing practices.
• System Scalability & Performance: Own the reliability and performance of our core platforms. Diagnose and resolve complex systemic issues, optimize heavy PostgreSQL workloads, and architect high-throughput infrastructure on AWS.
• Cross-Squad Force Multiplier: Act as a technical consultant and mentor to engineers across multiple squads. Break down ambiguous, massive technical problems into actionable execution phases that junior and senior engineers can successfully deliver.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Product Managers, Pharmacy Operations, and Engineering Managers to evaluate technical feasibility, de-risk complex roadmaps, and align technology choices with business objectives.
• Security & Compliance Safeguarding: Architect systems with privacy by design. Ensure our codebase, data-at-rest, and data-in-transit adhere strictly to healthcare regulations (e.g., HIPAA, SOC2), safeguarding sensitive patient data.
• Innovation & R&D: Evaluate emerging technologies, frameworks, and patterns. Build prototypes and proofs-of-concept (POCs) to derisk new initiatives before they are rolled out to the wider engineering team.

Minimum Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
• Technical Experience: 8+ years of progressive experience in software engineering, with at least 3+ years acting as a Tech Lead, Architect, or Staff Engineer designing complex, distributed systems.
• Tools & Tech Stack: Expert-level mastery in at least one core language (Ruby on Rails or Python) and deep proficiency with PostgreSQL, TypeScript/JavaScript, and AWS cloud infrastructure (e.g., ECS, RDS, Lambda, VPC).
• System Design Expertise: Proven track record of designing, building, and scaling high-volume API-led transactional or logistical platforms.
• Communication & Influence: Exceptional ability to articulate complex architectural trade-offs to both highly technical engineers and non-technical stakeholders (e.g., clinical, product, and operational leaders).
