Senior Software Engineer – Full Stack
About the role
Position Summary
The Senior Software Engineer delivers meaningful business impact by designing and building scalable backend systems that power pharmacy operations, manufacturing, logistics, and regulatory compliance across Empower’s 503A/503B environment. Contributing to system design and technical direction within their domain, this role helps shape how mission-critical platforms grow and mature at scale. AI serves as a force multiplier—accelerating engineering velocity, elevating system observability, and enabling data-driven decision-making across the platform. This role demands strong technical depth: engineers who pair solid execution with sound design judgment, who thrive in ambiguous environments, and who consistently raise the quality bar within their team.
Responsibilities
- Systems Ownership: Design and implement backend systems within pharmacy operations, manufacturing, and logistics domains; use AI-assisted tools to model dependencies, assess load, and validate design decisions before committing engineering resources.
- Governance Standards: Apply and contribute to architectural standards governing how services communicate and evolve; participate in design reviews to reduce systemic risk in Empower’s highly regulated 503A/503B environment.
- Platform Interoperability: Implement and maintain integrations across internal services and external regulatory systems using canonical data contracts and API versioning protocols; leverage AI tooling to detect integration drift and accelerate service onboarding.
- Scale Engineering: Build high-throughput, low-latency backend systems for large-scale pharmacy and logistics workloads; apply AI-augmented capacity planning to maintain performance under peak demand without over-provisioning infrastructure.
- Resilience Architecture: Implement fault-tolerant systems with observability layers—distributed tracing, structured logging, and anomaly detection—that surface degradation early; collaborate with SRE teams to support production operations.
