Senior Software Engineer – File Integrations

Location: Pittsburgh, PA (Hybrid)

Classification: Exempt

Status: Full-Time

Reports to: Manager, Software Engineering

Purpose

The Senior Software Engineer — File Integrations owns the design, development, and reliability of PANTHERx's flat-file exchange capabilities: ingesting data from external flat files into internal systems and generating outbound files sent from PANTHERx to external partners. This role combines deep SSIS and T-SQL expertise with strong C# application development skills, and carries senior-level responsibility for SDLC discipline and test environment integrity across the File Integrations workstream — a tower currently supported by a single internal engineer.

Responsibilities

File Ingestion & Generation

• Design, build, and maintain SSIS packages that ingest data from external flat files into PANTHERx systems, handling varied file formats, schemas, and delivery schedules.
• Design, build, and maintain processes that generate outbound flat files from PANTHERx systems for delivery to external partners, ensuring format, timing, and content meet partner specifications.
• Develop and optimize complex T-SQL logic (stored procedures, ETL transformations, data validation) supporting both inbound and outbound file processing.
• Build and maintain C# applications and services that support file processing, validation, transformation, and orchestration outside of SSIS where appropriate.

Reliability & Data Quality

• Implement validation, error handling, and reconciliation logic to catch malformed, incomplete, or late files before they reach downstream systems or external partners.
• Monitor scheduled file jobs, troubleshoot failures, and drive root-cause resolution for recurring issues.
• Maintain clear audit trails and logging for all inbound and outbound file activity to support troubleshooting and partner inquiries.

SDLC Discipline & Test Environments

• Ensure all File Integrations work follows the full software development lifecycle: requirements/design review, code review, testing, deployment, and post-release validation — no shortcuts given the tower's single-engineer history.
• Own the existence and integrity of lower environments (dev/test/staging) for File Integrations work, ensuring changes can be tested predictably and repeatably before reaching production.
• Build and maintain repeatable test data sets and test harnesses for both inbound and outbound file scenarios, including edge cases (malformed files, partial deliveries, schema drift).
• Document environment configuration, promotion processes, and testing procedures so File Integrations work is no longer dependent on a single person's undocumented knowledge.

Collaboration & Mentorship

• Partner with the Enterprise Pharmacy Systems and Market Place teams on integration points where file-based exchange intersects with ESB, Camunda, or partner API workstreams.
• Communicate file-processing status, issues, and partner-impacting changes clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Mentor less experienced engineers on SSIS, T-SQL, and file-integration best practices as the tower grows.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Minimum of five (5) years of related software engineering experience.
• Strong, hands-on experience with SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) for building and maintaining ETL/file-processing packages.
• Strong T-SQL skills, including complex query writing, stored procedures, and performance tuning.
• Strong experience developing C# applications and services.
• Demonstrated experience building and maintaining flat-file ingestion and/or generation processes in a production environment.
• Solid understanding of the full SDLC and experience ensuring lower (dev/test/staging) environments exist and are used to produce predictable, repeatable test results.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills; ability to work independently and mentor others.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in healthcare, specialty pharmacy, or another regulated industry with strict partner file-exchange requirements.
• Familiarity with SFTP-based file delivery, PGP encryption, or other secure file-transfer standards.
• Experience with Azure Data Factory or other modern orchestration tools as a complement to SSIS.
• Understanding of HIPAA and healthcare data standards.
• Experience with Agile methodologies and CI/CD tooling (Azure DevOps).
