Jobbeschreibung

Why FMH

Every day, someone receives a life-changing diagnosis. Getting the right medication should be straightforward - but too often it isn’t.

Specialty medications move through a complex network of providers, health plans, pharmacies, and manufacturers. Administrative delays, disconnected systems, and limited visibility can slow treatment when time matters most.

Free Market Health exists to make that process work better.

Our technology connects stakeholders across the specialty pharmacy ecosystem, helping prescriptions reach the right pharmacy while improving visibility, reducing friction, and keeping treatment moving forward for the patients who depend on them. We focus on the most important stakeholder of all: the patient.

Your impact

At Free Market Health, our mission is to never let the process fail the patient. We build the platform that connects payers and specialty pharmacies and routes specialty medication referrals, so patients get the therapy they need. We're looking for a senior engineer who enjoys building great software and helping a team ship it together.

As a Team Lead, you'll spend most of your time hands-on: designing, building, and running production software. You'll also guide your team's delivery, shaping the work, clearing blockers, and keeping everyone moving in the same direction. Your Engineering Manager owns people management, so you can stay close to the code.

What You’ll Do

• Design, build, test, and operate full-stack features and backend services in production.
• Turn initiatives into clear, well-sequenced work the team can deliver.
• Lead technical design and set the quality bar in code review.
• Mentor engineers through pairing, review, and technical guidance.
• Spot risk early and bring options when plans need to change.
• Work closely with Product, domain experts, and other teams to get the right thing built.
• Use AI-assisted development and coding agents as a core part of how you build, and help your team do the same.
• Take part in triage and coordinate the team when an incident needs more hands.
• Interview candidates and help onboard new engineers.

What We’re Looking For

• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with end-to-end ownership of production systems.
• Experience as a team lead, tech lead, project lead, or the engineer a team relies on to organize ambiguous work.
• Strong backend development skills in Python or a similar language, plus experience with web frontends such as React.
• Experience with microservices, REST APIs, relational databases, and cloud platforms.
• Daily, hands-on use of AI coding tools such as Cursor or Claude Code on real delivery work.
• Clear communication and a habit of raising problems early.

Nice to Haves

• Healthcare technology experience, especially specialty pharmacy, PBM, payer, or claims integrations.
• Experience with Microsoft Azure, SQL Server, Azure Service Bus, Databricks, or Datadog.
• Familiarity with HIPAA, HITRUST, or SOC 2.
