Job Description

We are actively recruiting for a Staff Software Engineer. As a Staff Software Engineer at FuzeRx, you are a principal technical leader within our technology organization, responsible for defining the architectural evolution, technical strategy, and engineering standards of our digital pharmacy platforms. Being on the Platform Team, your primary responsibility will be creating leverage through increasing developer productivity and system stability.

This is a highly technical individual contributor (IC) role. You will serve as a force multiplier across multiple agile squads, tackling our most complex distributed systems challenges and ensuring our API-driven pharmacy platform is secure, highly scalable, and resilient. By blending deep technical expertise with a strong understanding of healthcare systems, you will directly influence how millions of patients access vital medications.

Key Responsibilities:

• Technical Leadership & Architecture: Define the long-term technical vision and architectural roadmap for FuzeRx’s B2B and consumer platforms. Drive decisions around microservices design, API design, database schemas, and data pipelines.

• Engineering Excellence & Code Quality: Lead by example by writing clean, highly optimized, and maintainable code for critical system components. Establish engineering standards, champion rigorous code reviews, and advocate for modern testing practices.

• System Scalability & Performance: Own the reliability and performance of our core platforms. Diagnose and resolve complex systemic issues, optimize heavy PostgreSQL workloads, and architect high-throughput infrastructure on AWS.

• Security & Compliance Safeguarding: Architect systems with privacy by design. Ensure our codebase, data-at-rest, and data-in-transit adhere strictly to healthcare regulations (e.g., HIPAA, SOC2), safeguarding sensitive patient data.

• Innovation & R&D: Evaluate emerging technologies, frameworks, and patterns. Build prototypes and proofs-of-concept (POCs) to derisk new initiatives before they are rolled out to the wider engineering team.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).

• Technical Experience: 8+ years of progressive experience in software engineering, with at least 2+ years acting as a Tech Lead, Architect, or Staff Engineer designing complex systems.

• System Design Background: Proven track record of designing, building, and scaling high-volume API-led transactional or logistical platforms.

• AI Fluency: Experience building LLM-enabled applications including the use of orchestration, evaluation, and observability tools (e.g. LangGraph, Mastra, Temporal, LangChain, Vercel AI SDK, Braintrust, Langfuse)

• Relational DB Mastery: Strong relational database skills including query optimization and data modeling

• Infrastructure Proficiency: Knowledge of cloud native infrastructure tools such as Terraform, Kubernetes, and Helm

• Communication & Influence: Exceptional ability to articulate complex architectural trade-offs to both highly technical engineers and non-technical stakeholders (e.g., clinical, product, and operational leaders).

• Cross-functional Expertise: Demonstrated success collaborating with partners across the business (e.g. Product Management, Design)

• Shift / Site Specific Requirements: Standard business hours; available for critical tier-3 escalation architecture support if needed.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Programming Languages: Significant history of product development with Ruby, Python, and/or TypeScript/JavaScript.

• Industry & Domain Experience: Prior engineering experience within Pharmacy Tech, Digital Health, or highly regulated FinTech/HealthTech environments.

• Measurable Impact: History of successfully leading major architecture modernization projects (e.g., monolith-to-services migrations, database overhauls).
