We are seeking a Principal Software Developer to drive the technical direction of SafeTrace Tx®, our industry-leading transfusion management software trusted by hundreds of hospitals to deliver complete testing and transfusion histories in a single, consolidated patient record. In this role, you will be a cornerstone of a high-performing engineering team responsible for building and evolving the safety-critical workflows that blood bank professionals rely on daily — from specimen testing and cross-matching to bedside transfusion verification. You will shape architectural decisions for a platform where data integrity, patient safety, and seamless continuity of care across multi-facility hospital networks are non-negotiable.

As a principal-level contributor, you will lead the design of scalable integrations with hospital information systems such as Epic, applying service-oriented and event-driven architecture principles to ensure reliable, real-time communication from the blood bank to the bedside. You will guide the team in building secure, well-governed REST APIs, establishing scalable architecture that support multi-facility data exchange, and upholding the rigorous compliance standards.

What You'll Do

• Define Architectural Strategy: Set the long-term technical roadmap, engineering standards, and core technology adoption (engine, backend, rendering).
• Drive Technical Governance: Act as the final authority on critical design decisions, establish quality gates, and manage performance budgets.
• Lead Hands-On Innovation: Prototype foundational systems, perform high-level code reviews, and solve high-risk architectural challenges.
• Mentor Team: Coach team members to foster a culture of technical rigor and continuous improvement.
• Risk Management: Identify and mitigate technical debt, performance bottlenecks, and architectural risks across the development lifecycle.
• Cross-Disciplinary Partnership: Align technical architecture with regulatory and commercial objectives.

What Will Make You a Great Fit

• Industry Veteran: 10+ years in software engineering, with 5+ years in a Principal or Architect role.
• Deep Expertise: Expert-level C# or other OOP languages such as Java/Python. RESTful APIs, Microservices, Domain-driven design, CI/CD, Event-driven architecture, Service-oriented architecture, High-availability, containerization, SQL and NOSQL.
• Cloud & Infrastructure Experience: AWS (ECS, EKS, RDS, Lambda, S3, SQS, CloudFormation), Terraform.
• Security & Compliance Experience: OWASP best practice, OIDC, SAML2, SOC2, ISO27001, HIPAA.
• Proven Track Record: Success in shipping multiple complex products with stable, maintainable architectures.
• Strategic Communicator: Ability to translate complex technical concepts for both engineers and executive leadership.
• Pragmatic Problem Solver: Balanced approach to solving immediate production needs while maintaining long-term architectural health.
