About the position

The Senior Software Engineer is a highly skilled full-stack developer proficient in all layers of complex software applications. Operating within an agile product development team, this role is instrumental as a hands-on contributor and collaborator. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will lead significant initiatives, establish team best practices, guide peers through challenges, and become the go-to person for features or components transforming healthcare into a safer and more cost-effective industry. In this position, you will be responsible for creating high-quality software features and components for complex solutions. You will develop logically well-structured, readable, maintainable, testable, and performant code while contributing to sizing decisions and complexity evaluation for initiatives. Pairing with other engineers, you will apply clean code techniques to ensure the highest quality of software development. Testing and quality assurance are also key components of this role. You will develop testing strategies, including performance, security, regression, and automation testing, and create unit, integration, and automated acceptance tests for features. Utilizing test-driven development (TDD), you will coach peers on TDD and test strategy to enhance the overall quality of the software. Data management, infrastructure, and integrations are critical aspects of the position. You will devise data storage and access strategies, design system integration strategies using cloud and managed services, and leverage experience with infrastructure as code concepts for modular design. Additionally, you will create highly dependable software features using operationalization development techniques and improve team operations culture by defining best practices and advocating for deployment automation. Security and compliance are paramount in this role. You will develop software with a security-first mindset, proactively identifying and mitigating threats, and implementing basic security safeguards while leveraging threat modeling for system-level security. Your focus will also extend to product and user experience, where you will develop software features with a focus on user experience, enhancing user-facing software, and translating design goals into functional user-facing implementations. Collaborating with stakeholders, you will write detailed technical stories that transform business context into technical specifications, applying established architectural themes to new problem spaces and making cost-effective feature design decisions.
