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.\nResponsibilities: \nArchitecture and Enterprise Integration\nSystems 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.\nGovernance 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.\nPlatform 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.\nSystem Performance and Reliability\nScale 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.\nResilience 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.\nPerformance 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.\nEngineering Leadership and Enablement\nTechnical 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.\nPlatform 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.\nStrategic 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.\nKnowledge and Skills: \nExpertise in distributed systems, backend architecture, and microservices design at enterprise scale.\nStrong proficiency in frontend technologies including React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and TypeScript within production environments.\nStrong proficiency in Java/ Springboot ecosystem and optionally to have Python, C# within production environments.\nStrong proficiency in GraphQL and/or Node.js-based development for distributed platform integration.\nDeep understanding of performance optimization, system reliability, and observability practices.\nAbility to design systems that meet regulatory, security, and data integrity requirements.\nExperience and Qualifications: \n5+ years of software engineering experience, with a demonstrated ability to own and deliver complex backend features and systems independently.\nProven track record delivering production-grade backend systems that are performant, reliable, and maintainable in complex, high-growth environments.\nDemonstrated ability to contribute to technical direction and provide mentorship to junior engineers within a team setting.\nExperience in regulated industries requiring auditability, data traceability, and compliance-aware system design.\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field required; Master's degree preferred.\nKey Competencies:\nCustomer Focus: Builds trust through customer-centric solutions.\nStrategic AI: Guides responsible AI adoption and adaptation.\nOptimizes Work Processes: Drives efficiency with continuous improvement.\nCollaborates: Partners effectively to achieve shared goals.\nResourcefulness: Secures and deploys resources efficiently.\nManages Complexity: Simplifies and solves complex challenges.\nEnsures Accountability: Delivers on commitments with integrity.\nSituational Adaptability: Adjusts approach to shifting conditions.\nCommunicates Effectively: Tailors messages to diverse audiences.\nValues:\nPeople: Empowering people defines who we are.\nQuality: Excellence in every product, every time.\nService: Serving others is our highest purpose.\nInnovation: Advancing care through technology and discovery.\nEmployee Benefits, Health and Wellness:\nWe offer comprehensive benefits to support your health, well-being, and future, including medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid time off, 401(k) matching, wellness perks, IV therapy, and compounded medications.
