Lead Software Engineer

About the role

Great architecture is proven in production, not on a whiteboard. We’re hiring a Lead Software Engineer who designs systems, builds them alongside the team, and stays accountable once they’re live. You’ll be a technical leader who helps keep them fast, secure, and dependable as we scale.

What you'll do

• Own the architecture: Lead system design, API contracts, data modeling, security, scalability, observability, and cloud cost across our products
• Be accountable for reliability: Own uptime, latency, and throughput as usage grows, including a share of on-call
• Build security in from day one: Design safe PHI and payment flows with compliance part of the architecture, not a retrofit
• Drive cloud-native delivery: Run MERN-based platforms on AWS, GCP, or Azure using Kubernetes, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and sound secrets management
• Make the hard calls: Monolith vs. microservices, event-driven patterns, third-party integrations, build vs. buy. Make the decision, document the reasoning
