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:
Architecture and Enterprise Integration

• 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.

System Performance and Reliability

• 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 incident response and reduce recovery time.

• Performance Optimization: Conduct performance analysis identifying bottlenecks at the database, network, and application tiers; use AI-assisted profiling to prioritize fixes and deliver measurable improvements in latency and throughput.

Engineering Leadership and Enablement

• Technical Mentorship: Mentor junior and mid-level engineers within the team—elevating design literacy and code quality through structured reviews and pair programming; model rigor and learning agility that raises the bar for those around you.

• Platform Velocity: Contribute to shared platform capabilities—CI/CD pipelines, reusable libraries, infrastructure-as-code—that standardize delivery; leverage AI-powered code generation and automated testing to improve team efficiency and output quality.

• Strategic Influence: Contribute to technical direction and roadmap priorities within your team; translate operational complexity and regulatory requirements into clear technical recommendations that build alignment among peers and stakeholders.

Knowledge and Skills:

• Expertise in distributed systems, backend architecture, and microservices design at enterprise scale.

• Strong proficiency in frontend technologies including React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and TypeScript within production environments.

• Strong proficiency in Java/ Springboot ecosystem and optionally to have Python, C# within production environments.

• Strong proficiency in GraphQL and/or Node.js-based development for distributed platform integration.

• Deep understanding of performance optimization, system reliability, and observability practices.

• Ability to design systems that meet regulatory, security, and data integrity requirements.

Experience and Qualifications:

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with a demonstrated ability to own and deliver complex backend features and systems independently.

• Proven track record delivering production-grade backend systems that are performant, reliable, and maintainable in complex, high-growth environments.

• Demonstrated ability to contribute to technical direction and provide mentorship to junior engineers within a team setting.

• Experience in regulated industries requiring auditability, data traceability, and compliance-aware system design.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field required; Master's degree preferred.

Key Competencies:

• Customer Focus: Builds trust through customer-centric solutions.

• Strategic AI: Guides responsible AI adoption and adaptation.

• Optimizes Work Processes: Drives efficiency with continuous improvement.

• Collaborates: Partners effectively to achieve shared goals.

• Resourcefulness: Secures and deploys resources efficiently.

• Manages Complexity: Simplifies and solves complex challenges.

• Ensures Accountability: Delivers on commitments with integrity.

• Situational Adaptability: Adjusts approach to shifting conditions.

• Communicates Effectively: Tailors messages to diverse audiences.

Values:

• People: Empowering people defines who we are.

• Quality: Excellence in every product, every time.

• Service: Serving others is our highest purpose.

• Innovation: Advancing care through technology and discovery.
