Senior Software Engineer
About The Position
We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer to operate at a principal level of scope and impact on the core systems behind our healthcare SaaS platform. This role focuses on designing and evolving backend services and data infrastructure that process sensitive healthcare data at scale. You will work on foundational systems — not isolated features and contribute to long-term architectural decisions that shape how the platform grows, performs, and remains reliable over time. The work involves cloud-native, data-intensive services in regulated environments. You’ll regularly navigate tradeoffs across performance, reliability, security, and compliance, and you’ll be trusted to make sound technical decisions in the face of ambiguity. This role prioritizes building systems that remain correct, understandable, and dependable over time, not just shipping features quickly.
