Principal Software Engineer

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Principal Software Engineer based in the United States.

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. The position requires someone who can drive engineering consistency across teams, define scalable system architecture, and ensure high standards for security, compliance, and performance. You will operate in an AI-first engineering culture where modern development tools are actively integrated into daily workflows. Collaboration is central, as you will partner closely with product, security, and compliance teams to build solutions that meet stringent healthcare requirements. This is a high-ownership role where your technical decisions will influence both product quality and organizational engineering maturity.

Accountabilities:

Drive technical alignment across engineering teams by defining shared architectural patterns, engineering standards, and scalable system design principles.
Architect and deliver end-to-end solutions across web applications, backend services, data pipelines, and integrations supporting core enterprise healthcare products.
Establish and enforce engineering best practices, including code quality, testing strategies, CI/CD processes, and documentation standards to ensure production reliability.
Lead the adoption and evolution of AI-assisted development practices, integrating AI tools into the SDLC to improve productivity and engineering effectiveness.
Partner with security, compliance, and product teams to ensure system designs meet regulatory requirements such as HIPAA and SOC 2.
Mentor and guide engineers across teams, raising the overall technical bar through coaching, architectural guidance, and hands-on collaboration.
Contribute to strategic technical decision-making, helping translate complex business requirements into scalable, maintainable engineering solutions.

Requirements:

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. This role requires both hands-on execution and the ability to define long-term technical strategy.
