Ensure high availability, system reliability, and data integrity across production systems. Troubleshoot production issues quickly and methodically\n\nProduct & Systems Thinking: Collaborate across teams to build user-centric, scalable systems that account for compliance, auditability, and data integrity requirements\n\nEngineering Leadership: Help shape MediCircle’s engineering culture and standards as the team grows. Contribute to hiring, onboarding, and mentoring while helping build practices that support a high-performing, mission-driven team.\n\nRequirements\nSoftware Engineering Experience: You have 3-6+ years of software engineering experience, including experience building and operating complex production platforms.\n\nBuilder DNA: You have built and scaled real systems from scratch - APIs, data models, backend services, and production infrastructure\n\nArchitecture & Backend Expertise: Strong experience designing backend systems and scalable architectures\n\nAI Fluency: Actively stay on top of emerging AI technologies and how they can improve engineering productivity or product capabilities\n\nFull Stack Ownership: Proficient across the stack, ideally including: Python (Django preferred), TypeScript / React, and REST APIs\n\nProduct-Minded Engineer: You think beyond code and deeply care about how software impacts real users. You design systems with usability, reliability, and operational realities in mind\n\nExecution Engine: You can take loosely defined problems and turn them into shipped production systems. You move quickly while maintaining strong engineering discipline\n\nSoftware development experience: You have at least two years of experience in a software development role\n\nLeadership Experience: Experience leading technical projects or managing engineering teams. You’ve helped take a product from 0 → scale\n\nDevOps Fluency: Comfortable owning the full deployment lifecycle - CI/CD pipelines, containerized deployments, infrastructure as code (AWS CDK preferred), and production observability.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nYou have healthcare/pharmacy exposure and familiarity with regulated ops (clinical, pharmacy, payer/PBM, or analogous); if not, you have previously worked and/or currently work in regulated or compliance-heavy environments\n\nYou have early-stage startup experience or similar experience in fast-paced, high-growth environments","description_format":"text","description_chars":5468,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Waste Management","Pharmacies"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-12T23:11:39Z"},{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T16:27:38Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":6,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.207,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":206,"expected_fill_days":23,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T06:34:16Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":200000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/medicirclerx-lead-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/medicirclerx-lead-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T21:22:07Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":28547,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":693725},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=693725"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmedicirclerx-lead-software-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmedicirclerx-lead-software-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmedicirclerx-lead-software-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/medicirclerx-lead-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmedicirclerx-lead-software-engineer"}]}
