Write and review production code across the .NET 8 REST APIs, C# services, and the ETL and data-movement estate. This is a hands-on role, not management-only.
Set and uphold engineering standards, raising the bar on code quality, testing, and observability.
Take on the complex and higher-risk technical work directly, from architecture decisions to thorny production issues and cross-cutting migrations.
Partner with the Scrum Master to run agile ceremonies and keep delivery predictable across planning cycles.
Translate the product roadmap into sequenced, well-scoped engineering work; manage dependencies, surface risks early, and remove blockers.
Balance run-vs-change, keeping the platform healthy (security, reliability, and maintenance work) while still moving the roadmap forward.
Guide the platform's modernization: clearer service boundaries, ETL modernization in Rust, stronger observability, and legacy endpoint deprecation.
Contribute to the longer-term roadmap for the platform's technical health, and use AI strategically to boost the team's productivity.
Communicate progress, delivery risk, tradeoffs, and decisions clearly to engineering leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.
Partner closely with the Product Manager for member cost and transparency to turn strategy into shipped, reliable software.
8+ years of software engineering experience with strong, current hands-on coding ability — this role writes and reviews code, it does not only manage. (Typically a Bachelor's + 8 years or a Master's + 6)
People leadership experience - managing, coaching, and developing engineers, including performance and growth conversations.
Depth in C# / .NET building and operating production REST APIs and backend services.
Experience with relational data stores (SQL Server and/or PostgreSQL) and cloud-hosted services on AWS.
Comfort operating in an Agile environment, sprints, PI planning, and commitment-based delivery, partnering with a Scrum Masters and Product Managers.
Ability to lead across a hybrid legacy-and-modern codebase, make sound architectural tradeoffs, and manage run-vs-change alongside security and reliability commitments.
Healthcare IT experience, especially member cost, claims, benefits, or price-transparency data (e.g., X12 EDI 270/271 and 837, No Surprises Act, Transparency in Coverage).
Experience modernizing legacy systems, service decomposition, ETL modernization, or migrations such as cache or secrets-management changes.
Familiarity with Rust, distributed caching (Redis/Valkey), messaging (SQS/RabbitMQ), and observability tooling (Datadog, OpenTelemetry).
Working knowledge of healthcare data privacy and security concepts (PHI/PII).
Experience with Jira and Confluence for delivery and documentation.
