POSITION SUMMARY
The Software Engineer II designs, builds, and supports the organization's commercial software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform for healthcare compliance, audit, provider data, and utilization management. This is a hands-on product engineering role on a small, early-stage team: the incumbent contributes across the full development lifecycle (requirements definition, technical design, coding, testing, release, and production support) for a multi-tenant application delivered to external client organizations.
This is a broad role by design. The Software Engineer II works independently on complex features and moves between application code, database design, deployment, and client support as priorities change, while helping shape the engineering standards a growing product team will rely on. The platform is HIPAA-regulated and multi-tenant, so secure development and protection of client and member data are core accountabilities.
