About The Position

BeneLynk is seeking a Sr. Software Engineer and/or Jr. Platform Architect to serve as a technical lead responsible for the day-to-day development, design, build, and scale of a Veteran-Directed Care (VDC) Financial Management Services (FMS) platform. This platform will support Veterans participating in self-direction programs by streamlining payroll, tax filings, caregiver management, budgeting workflows, and compliance-related tasks. The role reports to the Chief Technology Officer. The Sr. Software Engineer will guide implementation, potentially coordinate offshore engineers, and ensure the delivery of high-quality software aligned with architectural direction. The platform aims to simplify self-direction, uphold dignity and independence, and ensure administrative accuracy.
