Staff Software Engineer, Platform

Hybrid: In Office Every Thursday in Elmhurst, IL Required

• Own the platform's technical direction - the APIs, events, data layers, and integration surfaces that internal teams and external partners build against.
• Architect event-driven, distributed systemsthat hold up under a 24/7 operation: out-of-order events, retries, idempotency, partial failure, and eventual consistency.
• Make data architecture calls that pay off over years- schema design, partitioning, relational vs. non-relational choices, and migration paths that keep data scaling with the business.
• Architect authentication and identity for our portfolio of mobile and web apps - OAuth/OIDC, federated SSO, and RBAC patterns that let internal staff, independent contractors, preferred-vendor employees, and customer-side users at hospitals, labs, and pharmacies sign in cleanly across the platform.
• Make reliability and observability first-class - distributed tracing, structured telemetry, meaningful SLOs, and incident response practices that actually help during incidents.
• Raise the bar across teams - set the patterns other engineers reach for (spinning up a new service, integrating a new partner, rolling out a breaking change safely) and the delivery standards that go with them: CI/CD, testing, feature flags. Bring a pragmatic eye to where new tooling - including AI and agentic workflows - earns its place.
• Partner with product and operations to translate fuzzy business needs - better visibility for hospital, lab, and pharmacy users; better tools for couriers in the field; tighter feedback loops for dispatch - into durable platform capabilities.
• Mentor senior engineersand grow the bench of people who can step into work at this scope.
  

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
• 10+ years (or equivalent depth) building and operating production systems, including experience at staff-level scope (architecting across multiple services, not just within a single application)
• Deep .NET expertise: C#, ASP.NET Core.
• Extensive production experience on Azure (App Service, Functions, Service Bus — or equivalents you can map over).
• A track record designing APIs, contracts, and integration surfaces that internal teams and external partners built against at scale — including the unglamorous work of versioning, deprecation, and backwards compatibility.
• Hands-on experience designing authentication, authorization, and federated identity for multi-app systems with diverse user populations — internal staff, contractors, and partner/vendor users (OAuth/OIDC, federated SSO, RBAC).
• Mastery of database design at scale - schema modeling, indexing, partitioning, query performance, and the judgment to pick the right storage tool for each job.
• Mastery of distributed systems - messaging patterns, idempotency, consistency, failure modes, and the operational consequences of each.
• The judgment to know when to introduce abstraction and when to resist it.
• Experience with Flutter (web or mobile), or a modern frontend framework (React, Vue, Angular) - enough to reason about end-to-end impact.
• Background delivering mobile apps for field or frontline users.
• Geospatial, routing, or mapping experience.
• Prior work in logistics, marketplaces, or platforms with a heavy third-party integration surface.
• Hands-on experience applying AI tooling (including agentic workflows) to real engineering or operational problems.
