Role Overview

This role sits at the intersection of technical leadership, architectural strategy, and hands-on engineering within a high-impact healthcare technology environment. You will help shape the long-term direction of core enterprise products that support pharmacy operations at scale, while also contributing directly to the development of critical platform components.

What You Will Do

Drive technical alignment across engineering teams, architect and deliver end-to-end solutions, establish and enforce engineering best practices, lead the adoption and evolution of AI-assisted development practices, and partner with security, compliance, and product teams.

Why It Might Be a Fit

The ideal candidate brings deep technical expertise and a strong record of architectural leadership in complex, regulated environments. You should be comfortable working across the full stack, from backend systems and data pipelines to frontend applications, while influencing engineering culture at scale.
