Lucyrx Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Job Summary:
LucyRx is an independent pharmacy benefits manager committed to transforming healthcare. They are hiring an Engineering Manager to oversee technical quality, execution discipline, and delivery for a full stack engineering team, while also managing people and processes.
Responsibilities:
• Set and Enforce the Technical Bar
• Define, document, and enforce coding standards across Spring Boot (Java), React, and React Native, including structure, testing, error handling, observability, and security.
• Lead pull‑request reviews with depth and intent. Reviews under your ownership should visibly improve the codebase—not simply approve changes.
• Drive consistency across developers so “done” means the same thing regardless of author or location.
• Put the automation in place that backs the bar: linting, static analysis, CI quality gates, and test coverage thresholds that prevent regressions from reaching production.
• Own Team Output and Velocity
• Run the day‑to‑day delivery cadence for a team of engineers. Ensure work is well‑scoped, prioritized, and progressing.
• Identify variance in velocity and quality across developers and close gaps through pairing, coaching, re‑scoping work, or direct performance conversations.
• Own onboarding for new engineers, getting them productive in our Spring Boot, React, React Native stack—and our conventions—within their first 30 days.
• Participate actively in hiring. You will inherit the engineers you help select.
• Hands‑On Engineering Leadership
• Spend a meaningful portion of your time (typically 30%+) writing production code, focusing on high‑leverage areas where standardization and quality have outsized impact.
• Pair with engineers on architectural decisions and complex modules. Your influence should be visible in the codebase—not just in process and meetings.
• Model effective and responsible use of AI coding tools (Copilot, Claude, etc.) in alignment with LucyRx’s enterprise AI usage policies.
• Cross‑Team Partnership
• Partner closely with the data engineering organization on application‑to‑data integration. Review and, when needed, credibly push back on PL/SQL design and query patterns.
• Work with product, clinical operations, marketing, and finance stakeholders to translate requirements into clean, maintainable technical solutions.
• Proactively surface risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs early. We do not want last‑week‑of‑the‑sprint surprises.
Qualifications:
Required:
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a closely related field required.
• 10+ years of equivalent professional software engineering experience may be considered in lieu of a formal CS degree.
• 8+ years of senior-level software engineering experience with production systems built on Spring Boot (Java) and React; React Native experience required.
• Prior experience leading or managing full-stack engineering teams, with concrete examples of raising code quality and improving delivery velocity.
• Proven player-coach background: recent hands-on coding (within the last 6–12 months) and a track record of developing engineers through direct coaching.
• Deep experience using code reviews as a teaching and quality mechanism—not just a merge gate.
• Working knowledge of Oracle PL/SQL, sufficient to read, review, and collaborate effectively with database specialists.
• Experience onboarding engineers onto a non-trivial codebase and accelerating time to productivity.
• Comfort operating in regulated environments (HIPAA, SOC 2, or similar).
• Active, thoughtful use of AI coding tools, with clear judgment on where they help, where they hurt, and how to govern their use across a team.
• Cloud and DevOps fluency on Azure (AKS, Azure DevOps, Log Analytics).
• Backend: Java 11+, Spring Boot (Data, MVC, Security)
• Frontend: React (preferred) or Angular 12+, including state management and responsive design.
• Database: Advanced PL/SQL (procedures, functions, performance tuning).
• Tooling: Git, Maven/Gradle, CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, Jenkins).
Preferred:
• Experience in healthcare, PBM, payer, financial services, or other highly regulated industries.
• Experience integrating new hires during periods of growth or organizational change.
• Oracle Certified Professional (PL/SQL).
• Azure or AWS Developer Certification.
• Java SE Programmer Certification.
