Senior Software Engineer

Overview

Senior Software Engineer (Full Stack, Java, Spring Boot, React) to design, build and operate scalable, mission-critical healthcare applications. Backend-first role (about 70% backend, 30% frontend) within healthcare technology (oncology and clinical platforms).

What you'll do

• Design and build scalable microservices using Java, Spring Boot and REST APIs.
• Define clear API contracts (OpenAPI/Swagger) with consistent error handling and versioning.
• Implement event-driven architectures using Kafka or equivalent messaging systems.
• Build high-performance data access layers using JPA/Hibernate and Oracle/Postgres.
• Develop and enhance UI components using React.js and TypeScript.
• Build integration layers and admin UIs to support backend workflows.
• Ensure end-to-end flow validation (UI, API, DB, events).
• Ensure production-grade reliability: transaction safety, idempotency and error recovery.
• Actively use AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Claude or other McKesson-approved tools) to accelerate coding, refactoring and test generation, while critically evaluating AI-generated code for correctness, security, data handling and performance.
• Design systems that are AI-friendly, observable and diagnosable using logs, metrics and traces, and secure by design.
• Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code (unit and integration tests).
• Participate in code reviews, design discussions and architecture decisions.
• Work in Agile teams with strong accountability and ownership of delivery.
• Diagnose and resolve production issues using observability tools such as Dynatrace.
• Build reusable, well-documented services that are easy for other products to integrate.
• Follow best practices in API design, microservices architecture, and CI/CD and DevOps pipelines.
• Provide technical leadership for day-to-day delivery: clarify requirements, drive design discussions and align implementation details across the team.
• Mentor and support engineers through pair-programming, constructive code reviews and knowledge sharing.
• Promote consistent engineering practices (testing, documentation, observability) and break work into well-scoped stories while identifying risks early.

What you'll need

• Degree or equivalent, and typically 5+ years of relevant experience.
• 5–7 years of software development experience in product or enterprise environments.
• Strong hands-on experience with Java (17+) and Spring Boot.
• REST API design and microservices architecture experience.
• React.js and TypeScript experience (at least 2–3 years).
• Solid experience with SQL and relational databases (Oracle/Postgres).
• ORM tools experience (Hibernate/JPA).
• Experience with event-driven systems (Kafka or similar).
• Experience with caching (Redis or similar).
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and Git-based workflows.
• Automated testing practices.
• Strong debugging and production issue analysis skills.
• Practical use of AI coding assistants in development workflow, with ability to review, validate and production-harden AI-generated code.
• Clear written and verbal communication, including the ability to document services and explain technical decisions.

Nice to have

• Healthcare domain experience.
• Familiarity with FHIR, HL7 or C-CDA standards.
• Familiarity with HIPAA compliance and PHI/PII handling.
• Experience with Databricks or data pipelines.
• Experience with Elasticsearch or Redis.
• Experience with Docker or Kubernetes.
