Technical Lead Software Engineer (Java, React, Spring boot)
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content.
We have:
- About the role: Could be the introductory paragraph about Medica and role summary. We'll put that under About the role
with
. - Responsibilities: Key Accountabilities sections (Solution Design, Implementation, & Quality; Systems Engineering & Operations; Incident & Problem Management; Security, Compliance, & Risk Management; Documentation, Knowledge Sharing, & Collaboration). Could be a list. - Requirements: Required Qualifications. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications. - Skills: maybe combine required/preferred? But we have separate sections. - Benefits: description of total rewards package. - Pay: salary range. - Schedule: Office role, 3 days per week onsite. We must not create sections with placeholder text. All have content. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Remove that. We must not include application instructions. We must preserve all substantive info. We need to format lists with
- . For prose use
. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title heading. Let's craft. First, About the role: combine Medica description and role summary.

That's a lot but okay. Next Responsibilities: we can list each accountability as bullet points, maybe sub-bullets? Simpler: each key accountability as a
- with its description.
We'll create
- with items: Solution Design, Implementation, & Quality; Systems Engineering & Operations; Incident & Problem Management; Security, Compliance, & Risk Management; Documentation, Knowledge Sharing, & Collaboration.
Each item can contain the description text.
We'll need to keep the details.
Let's extract each:
Solution Design, Implementation, & Quality:
- Translate business requirements into technical designs, selecting appropriate technologies and patterns
- Develop clean, testable, secure code using modern programming languages and cloud based interfaces, using emerging AI solutions.
- Write SQL queries using Oracle or SQL Server to access data from multiple data sources
- Automate deployments and configuration using CI/CD pipeline tools such as Azure DevOps (ADO), GitHub, and Jenkins.
- Validate solutions via functional tests, performance benchmarking, and post-implementation reviews
Systems Engineering & Operations:
- Maintain and optimize code (front end and back-end, apis), and define core infrastructure needs
- Utilize Test-Driven Development (TDD) to design and implement robust, high-quality code that ensures reliability and simplifies long-term maintenance.
- Execute change management processes, including peer reviews, change records, and rollback planning.
Incident & Problem Management:
- Troubleshoot production incidents to resolve within SLAs and investigate root cause to prevent reoccurrence
- Implement monitoring and logging to assist with debugging.
- Proactively monitor software to identify vulnerabilities before they turn into outages
- Communicate incident status and next steps to stakeholders.
- Track recurring issues and convert learnings into backlog items, automation, or policy updates.
Security, Compliance, & Risk Management:
- Enforce identity, access, and endpoint controls (e.g., least privilege, MFA, certificate management).
- Remediate security vulnerabilities through timely patching, configuration hardening, and dependency updates.
- Support audits by maintaining evidence (e.g., asset inventories, change logs, backup and recovery tests).
- Implement data protection and logging standards aligned to organizational policies and frameworks.
Documentation, Knowledge Sharing, & Collaboration:
- Produce clear technical documentation: architecture diagrams, SOPs, runbooks, and comments in code.
- Develop and expand foundational understanding and use of Artificial Intelligence/AI
- Mentor peers and partner teams through code reviews, office hours, and knowledge sessions.
- Provide technical guidance to product owners, stakeholders and business partners on effort, risks, and trade-offs.
- Contribute to agile team rituals (standups, retros, sprint planning, demos, backlog refinement, PI planning) and drive continuous improvement.
- Other Duties as assigned: Experience writing object-oriented code with java, React, and working with UI/UX designers to ensure optimal performance and accessibility.
- Experience in cloud platforms with end to end application building
Note: The "Other Duties as assigned" seems part of responsibilities but we can include as bullet.
Now Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in related field
- 5+ years of product related work experience beyond degree
- Proficient with Java and React
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience converting applications from .Net to Java
- Experience or exposure to Jireh
- Healthcare industry experience
- Analytical and systems thinking
- Strong communication, negotiation, and stakeholder alignment skills
Benefits: "In addition to compensation, Medica offers a generous total rewards package that includes competitive medical, dental, vision, PTO, Holidays, paid volunteer time off, 401K contributions, caregiver services and many other benefits to support our employees."
Pay: "The full salary grade for this position is $100,300 - $172,000. While the full salary grade is provided, the typical hiring salary range for this role is expected to be between $100,300 - $150,465. Annual salary range placement will depend on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, education, work experience, applicable certifications and/or licensure, the position's scope and responsibility, internal pay equity and external market salary data."
Schedule: "This position is an Office role, which requires an employee to work onsite, on average, 3 days per week. We are open to candidates located near one of the following office locations: Minnetonka MN, Madison WI, Omaha NE, and St. Louis MO."
We should not include location as separate heading unless we have a section for Location? Not required. Could embed in Schedule or maybe a separate section but we only have headings list; we can include location in Schedule paragraph.
Now produce HTML.
We must not include any markdown fences.
Let's craft:
- Solution Design, Implementation, & Quality
- Translate business requirements into technical designs, selecting appropriate technologies and patterns
- Develop clean, testable, secure code using modern programming languages and cloud based interfaces, using emerging AI solutions.
- Write SQL queries using Oracle or SQL Server to access data from multiple data sources
- Automate deployments and configuration using CI/CD pipeline tools such as Azure DevOps (ADO), GitHub, and Jenkins.
- Validate solutions via functional tests, performance benchmarking, and post-implementation reviews
... etc.
But nested lists may be okay. However spec says use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Could be flat list where each item is a duty. Simpler: each duty as a top-level
- with its description (including subpoints maybe as sentences). We'll keep flat.
Thus:
