## Description

This is a remote-first role that may require travel to Boston, MA for new hire onboarding and occasional in-person team meetings and company events., We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join our Engineering team. In this role, you will build and operate mission-critical healthcare technology that powers prior authorization for health plans covering 15+ million members. You'll work across the full stack - backend services, event-driven pipelines, and provider-facing web applications - to deliver systems that healthcare practitioners and clinical operations teams depend on daily. You'll partner closely with product, design, clinical, and platform teams to ship high-quality software in a complex, multi-tenant healthcare environment. This is an opportunity to solve distributed systems problems where engineering quality directly impacts patient access to care.

What you'll do:

 * Own epic-level efforts end-to-end - from technical design and milestone decomposition through implementation, testing, and production deployment
 * Design, build, and maintain services and applications across the full stack: backend (Java, Groovy/Grails), frontend (React, TypeScript), data (MongoDB), and event-driven messaging (Kafka)
 * Proactively identify systemic technical risks including performance bottlenecks, reliability gaps, data consistency issues, and accumulated technical debt - proposing and executing solutions
 * Evaluate technical approaches through design docs, pilots, and experiments - documenting decisions, tradeoffs, and outcomes to inform team direction
 * Mentor engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and pairing - fostering a culture of ownership, learning, and technical excellence
 * Lead technical design discussions, bringing data-driven analysis and written tradeoffs to resolve ambiguity and align cross-functional stakeholders
 * Ensure launch readiness for your epics - comprehensive testing, rollout strategy, monitoring, and rollback plans - coordinating across teams when dependencies exist
 * Collaborate with cross-functional teams (product, design, clinical, platform) to deliver high-quality experiences while balancing quality, delivery timelines, and operational constraints
