Job description

Interra Health is a fast‑growing healthcare technology company transforming how providers and patients navigate the prescription journey. Formed through the merger of DoseSpot, Arrive Health, and pVerify, Interra Health delivers trusted eligibility, real‑time coverage and pricing insights, prescribing tools, and pharmacy transparency at the point of care—helping providers make informed decisions and patients access the right medications with greater clarity and affordability. Backed by strong market momentum and a bold vision for the future of connected care, Interra Health offers the chance to join an innovative, mission‑driven team working at the intersection of software and healthcare to reduce friction, improve access, and make the healthcare experience better for everyone.

The Role

As a Staff Software Engineer, you will play a critical role in advancing the Arrive Health Network platform—a core part of Interra Health’s ecosystem that powers real‑time prescription decision‑making and cost transparency at the point of care. You will lead the design and development of scalable, high‑impact systems used by providers and care teams to deliver more accessible and affordable treatment options. This role combines hands‑on engineering with technical leadership—owning complex initiatives, shaping architecture, and driving cross‑team collaboration to ensure our platform continues to evolve with reliability and integrity at scale.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design and development of full‑stack solutions supporting prescription decision‑making and cost transparency.
• Architect and deliver complex greenfield projects used directly by providers and clinical staff.
• Partner with engineering and product leadership on planning, prioritization, and execution.
• Maintain and evolve backend systems and tools used by internal clinical and operational teams.
• Integrate with electronic health records (EHRs) and external partner APIs.
• Contribute to platform and infrastructure efforts in partnership with Platform Engineering (AWS, Terraform, Docker).
• Ensure system interoperability, scalability, and long‑term maintainability across services and applications.
• Troubleshoot and resolve production issues, including participating in on‑call rotation.
• Mentor engineers and elevate technical standards across the team.
• Own and drive company‑wide technical initiatives that span multiple teams and systems.
• Develop deep expertise in the healthcare and prescription coverage domain, and use that knowledge to inform architectural decisions by anticipating future needs.
• Maintain and extend existing systems using Agile practices, including TDD, pair programming, and radically collaborative development.
• Identify cross‑cutting problems and proactively sponsor solutions, such as shared services, tooling, and architecture.
• Initiate and lead collaborative efforts across teams and functional boundaries, particularly with Product, to solve shared problems and deliver on company‑wide goals.
• Influence technical direction through strong judgment, not just execution.
• Serve as a go‑to resource for problem solving and technical context across the team.
• Facilitate cross‑team collaboration and unblock complex, ambiguous challenges.
• Establish, evolve, and uphold engineering standards, documentation, and team norms, informed by experience and team feedback.
• Ensure internal tools and developer workflows stay aligned with modern best practices, such as agentic AI workflow.
• Collaborate closely with other lead engineers and product management on planning and execution in a remote‑first environment.

What You’ll Bring

• 8+ years of software development experience (or equivalent combination of education and experience).
• Strong experience building and scaling full‑stack applications in production environments.
• Experience designing distributed systems and integrating with external APIs (EHR experience a plus).
• Proficiency in one or more backend languages/frameworks (Kotlin/Spring, Ruby on Rails, or similar).
• Experience with modern frontend frameworks (React or similar).
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS), containerization (Docker), and infrastructure as code (Terraform).
• Strong understanding of CI/CD, automated testing, and service‑oriented architecture.
• Solid working knowledge of SQL and data modeling.
• Increasing familiarity with AI models and tools.

Ways of Working

• Strong problem‑solving skills and attention to detail.
• Ability to operate independently while collaborating effectively across the team.
• Clear and concise communication—especially in a distributed, async‑friendly environment.
• Bias toward ownership, action, and continuous improvement.
• Comfort operating in a fast‑paced, evolving environment with shifting priorities.
• A desire to learn and grow in a fast‑paced environment.

Core Competencies

• Knowledge & Application: Applies deep technical expertise to design scalable systems and solve complex problems across domains.
• Complexity & Problem Solving: Leads solutions to ambiguous, high‑impact challenges requiring cross‑system thinking.
• Collaboration & Influence: Drives alignment and execution across teams through strong technical leadership and communication.

Working Conditions & Environment

• Fully remote role within the United States.
• Periodic travel (approximately 5%) for team meetings, customer visits, and industry events.
• Operates in a fast‑paced, growth‑oriented, PE‑backed SaaS environment.
• Requires cross‑functional collaboration across Product, Sales, and Customer Success.
