📋 Description

• Help set technical direction for the ControlCheck team, designing work that spans multiple domains (front-end, back-end, infrastructure) over months, not sprints • Contribute to critical architectural decisions for services built on Ruby on Rails and Python FastAPI, deployed via Terraform and guide the team on architectural choices. • Make critical technical and architectural calls within the timelines the team needs. • Drive proactive de-coupling of services and application of sound microservices patterns as ControlCheck scales. • Identify and resolve the hardest technical problems in the codebase — expert-level debugging across distributed systems and complex applications • Help elevate the whole team's technical ability and execution — the goal is doubling (or more) the team's collective output, not just personal 5–10x contributions • Lead cross-team dependency management and coordinate cross-discipline efforts with Product, QA, and adjacent engineering teams while maintaining productive relationships across the organization. • Communicate large systems and technical tradeoffs clearly to both engineering and non-technical stakeholders, including in roadmap and planning conversations • Influence at the Engineering Manager level — partner closely with your EM and fellow technical leads on team execution, hiring signal, and technical roadmap and provide technical guidance across the broader engineering team, not just direct collaborators. • Mentor senior engineers and serve as an escalation point for the team's most difficult technical challenges • Maintain a 'customer service' mentality toward the rest of the team — your job is to help make everyone else's work better

🎯 Requirements

• 9+ years of professional software engineering experience, with demonstrated depth across the full stack • Acute specialization in one or more areas (front-end, back-end, or infrastructure) combined with working knowledge across the rest of the stack • Track record of contributing to technical direction for a team and driving multi-month, cross-domain initiatives to completion • Strong understanding of relational database systems (MySQL), with experience designing for scale • Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and owning production services end-to-end • Demonstrated ability to influence architectural decisions across multiple teams, not just your own including long-term architectural direction. • Excellent communication skills — able to describe large systems and complex tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders and drive alignment across teams • A leadership style rooted in service and collaboration: you measure your success by the team's output, not just your own • Experience mentoring senior engineers and building technical judgment in others • Comfortable co-leading technical direction alongside other senior technical voices on the team • **Nice to Have** • Database administration experience, preferably AWS Aurora MySQL • Experience integrating Electronic Health Record (EHR) data into enterprise software • Prior experience in a regulated/compliance-driven healthcare or controlled-substance domain • Experience applying AI and LLMs — AWS ecosystem preferred (e.g., AWS Bedrock or similar managed AI services)

🏖️ Benefits

• Unlimited vacation days! • Generous insurance coverage • 401k program with a company match • Fun, collaborative culture!
