Staff Software Developer

Position Overview

As a USP Staff Software Engineer, you will design and deliver solutions that help our healthcare system work more efficiently and effectively-helping millions of people receive their prescription medications each year. You'll work on small, cross-functional, highly collaborative teams and operate as a senior technical leader who turns product intent into clear, actionable engineering work.

This role plays a critical part in bridging product strategy and technical execution. You will help break down complex product requirements into scalable technical solutions, consult across multiple engineering teams, and ensure delivery aligns with approved USP architectures and platform standards.

The role has a strong emphasis on automation and modern cloud-native development, helping advance USP's platform capabilities while improving engineering effectiveness and long-term system health.

What You'll Do

Translate product requirements into technical execution

• Partner closely with Product, Design, and Engineering leaders to decompose product requirements into well-defined technical work, including epics, features, service boundaries, APIs, data models, and non-functional requirements.

• Lead technical discovery efforts to identify dependencies, risks, and tradeoffs early, producing clear plans that improve delivery predictability.

• Create and maintain technical artifacts such as design documents, RFCs, integration contracts, and architectural diagrams that enable alignment and execution across teams.

Collaborate and consult across engineering teams

• Act as a technical consultant and advisor across USP and partner engineering teams, helping drive consistency in architecture, APIs, event contracts, and shared platform approaches.

• Facilitate alignment with platform, security, and architecture stakeholders, helping teams converge on sound technical decisions.

• Influence outcomes through strong communication, technical credibility, and pragmatic problem-solving rather than formal authority.

Build solution technologies aligned to USP architectures

• Utilize a representative modern tech stack-including Node.js, TypeScript, React, GraphQL (Apollo), Azure Cloud Services, event-driven architectures and messaging platforms, and robust CI/CD and cloud-native tooling-to design, develop, and deploy scalable solutions that meet USP's architectural standards.

• Ensure all solution technologies are built with scalability, reliability, and maintainability in mind, leveraging cloud-native and AI best practices and event-driven patterns.

• Apply modern CI/CD processes to streamline development and deployment, maintaining alignment with USP platform standards and promoting engineering effectiveness.

• Apply event-driven architecture principles to enable asynchronous workflows, interoperability, and loose coupling.

• Identify and drive opportunities to apply AI and intelligent automation to product and tech workflows, decision support, and engineering productivity.

• Guide teams in designing AI-enabled capabilities that are reliable, observable, secure, and maintainable in accordance with company standards and governance processes

Quality, ownership, and operational excellence

• Own the quality of the solutions you build through strong testing strategies, observability, and resilient system design that deliver on solution obligations.

• Support and maintain production systems, contributing to incident resolution and continuous improvement.

• Partner with platform teams to identify and deliver desired platform services and capabilities while adhering to best practices.

• Contribute to a healthy agile environment through iterative delivery, clear communication, and continuous learning.
