Platform Engineering Lead – API-First Health Tech

Luxoft; United States; Remote; USD 120,000 - 250,000; Full time

Job summary

Luxoft is seeking a senior engineering leader to head an ambitious healthcare marketplace platform. You will write production code across the stack, own APIs, and align engineering with product and clinical advisors.

You will lead onshore, nearshore, and offshore teams, set the technical direction for an API-first platform, and drive data integration with health systems and partners while upholding HIPAA.

Qualifications

• 8+ years in software engineering with 4+ years of people management.
• Hands-on full-stack experience with Python and TS/React, shipping partner APIs or embedded products.
• Experience leading data integration with external partners via batch feeds and APIs.
• Strong API design judgment across REST (OpenAPI) and GraphQL, including versioning, idempotency, OAuth 2.0, and tenant isolation.
• Experience working with PII/PHI under HIPAA.

Responsibilities

• Lead onshore/nearshore and offshore teams: hire and level accurately, run 1:1s and performance conversations, and develop leads into stronger managers.
• Write production code across the API, embeddable widgets, preview app, SDKs, and MCP server, with ownership that shifts with priorities.
• Set the technical direction for an API-first platform, where every surface is a client of one OpenAPI-defined API. Own partner authentication, tenant scoping, per-partner configuration and branding, rate limiting, idempotency, and audit logging.
• Design configurable, rules-based questionnaire matching that clinical staff can change without code, and that clinical advisors review.
• Guide the integration of provider schedule inventory from health systems and telehealth networks through batch and real-time API feeds, with a booking path that confirms availability or fails gracefully.
• Own the roadmap, commitments, SLOs, and incident follow-through.
• Build HIPAA and minimum-necessary PHI boundaries into every surface, including what reaches an LLM through the MCP server, working with our security and compliance team.
• Set how the team employs AI to build, with the review and testing practices that keep the work correct and safe.
