Job description

• Bluesight is looking for a Staff Software Engineer to help us redefine and grow our suite of healthcare data products in support of the company’s mission of powering hospital and pharmacy operations. Our hospital and pharmacy customers rely on us to keep their patients safe and their pharmacies running smoothly while delighting them with every release. Through our controlled substance tracking platform, we’re committed to improving medication management and compliance for our nation’s healthcare providers; and our data operations and products are the backbone of that mission. On the 340BCheck team, you’ll be helping our customers ensure complete and continuous 340B program compliance through automated auditing across multiple data sources, comprehensive documentation, and centralized communication and collaboration
• As a Staff Software Engineer on the 340BCheck team, you’ll help lead technical direction; contributing to critical architectural decisions, elevating the team’s collective technical execution, and driving cross-team initiatives that extend beyond any single feature or sprint. This is a technical leadership role, not a people-management one: your impact is measured by how much you help multiply the team around you, not just what you personally ship
• Set technical direction for the 340BCheck team, designing work that spans multiple domains (front-end, back-end, data, ci/cd, infrastructure) over months, not sprints
• Own critical architectural decisions for apps and services built on React & Typescript, Python & FastAPI, Terraform, built and deployed by CodeBuild; and guide the team on architectural choices
• Make critical technical and architectural calls within the timelines the team needs
• Drive proactive refactoring of services and application to help support 340BCheck as it scales
• Identify and resolve the hardest technical problems in the codebase; expert-level debugging across distributed systems and complex applications
• 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
• Drive improvements in team culture
• Influence at the Engineering Manager level; partner closely with your EM and fellow technical leads on team execution, hiring signal, 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
