Posted on Feb 26, 2026
You'll be a senior individual contributor who owns the design, delivery, and operational health of our most complex systems. This role sits at the intersection of platform engineering, healthcare integrations, and production reliability.
Expect 50-70% hands-on coding and design, with the remainder focused on deployments, production support, security, and technical leadership. You'll be the person others call when a release is risky, a migration is scary, an integration is messy, or production is noisy.
