Sr. Software Engineer, Applications
CentralReach's Applications team is a cross-functional group that rapidly builds, validates, and scales new product capabilities. The Software Engineer, Applications is a hands-on builder who helps shape the product — working from design through evaluation to production and partnering closely with product builders, Product Organization leaders, and subject matter experts to turn customer problems into reliable features.
This role spans the full lifecycle, from early prototypes through production hardening and scale, and treats modern AI-assisted development tooling (Claude Code, Cursor, agentic coding workflows) as a force multiplier, not a replacement for engineering judgment. The ideal candidate is a natural collaborator and problem solver with high curiosity who thrives in a data-driven environment.
Key Accountabilities
Technical Leadership & Engineering Excellence
Shape the product hands-on — partner with Product to define what to build, then design and deliver it within the Product Organization while setting standards for code quality, architecture, and delivery
Lead by doing: design and implement core application components, critical services, and integration layers
Establish quality thresholds and release criteria (correctness, latency, reliability, cost, and user trust)
Define and champion best practices for AI-assisted development: prompt and context strategies for coding agents, code review standards for AI-generated code, and guardrails that keep velocity high without sacrificing quality or security
Rapid Application Development (Hands-On)
Build product capabilities end-to-end (service + workflow integration + instrumentation) using Python, Next.js, and modern backend patterns
Use agentic coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) daily to accelerate prototyping, refactoring, test generation, and documentation
Build and maintain shared libraries, components, and service templates that standardize application development across teams
Develop internal tooling, scripts, and agent workflows that improve developer experience and automate repetitive engineering tasks
Own technical readiness for production: reliability, observability, performance tuning, and incident response preparedness
Collaborate with Platform Engineering and DevOps to ensure CI/CD and environment consistency, scaling strategies, cost controls, secrets management, and secure data handling
Cross-Functional Delivery & Integration
Partner tightly with product builders and workflow owners to translate validated prototypes into production implementations
Collaborate with core engineering teams to integrate new capabilities into CentralReach's main platforms
Stay current with AI-assisted engineering practices (agentic coding, spec-driven development, automated code review) and help the broader engineering organization adopt them safely and effectively
Desired Skills and Experience
5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with demonstrated technical leadership
Strong experience building and operating production distributed systems and backend services
Strong proficiency in Python; experience with Next.js/TypeScript for full-stack delivery
Demonstrated daily-driver fluency with AI coding tools and agents (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or similar), including effective context management, prompt strategies, and critical review of generated code
Experience building or orchestrating agentic coding workflows (multi-step automation, MCP integrations, CI-integrated agents) is a strong plus
Strong system design skills: APIs, data flows, integration patterns, performance and reliability tradeoffs
Experience with observability and operational excellence (logging, metrics, tracing, alerting, incident response)
Strong background in automated testing (unit, integration, e2e) and CI/CD tooling
Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to product, design, and executive stakeholders
Experience in a healthcare SaaS environment
Familiarity with multi-tenant architectures and enterprise access control models
