Principal Software Engineer

Principal Software Engineer Job Locations US-Remote ID 2026-20162 Category Engineering/IT Position Type Full-Time Overview Cotiviti is consolidating several client-facing portals into one unified Client Performance Portal - spanning executive, analyst, and operations views, and covering SLA reporting, benchmarking, case detail, enhancement requests, roadmap visibility, regulatory insights, and billing self-service. One module already exists in production (Support/ticketing, built on Blazor/.NET, Azure PaaS, Okta, and Jira) and will be folded in rather than rebuilt from scratch. We're looking for a hands-on, full-stack Principal Software Engineer to architect and help build this platform: assess and integrate the existing Support module, design how the portal connects to internal systems (claims, payment integrity, risk adjustment, billing, ITSM), and set the patterns the rest of the team will build against. As the first hire on the program, expect real code alongside architecture decisions from day one. Responsibilities Assess the existing Support/ticketing module (Blazor, Azure PaaS, Okta, Jira) and make - and defend - the call on whether it's absorbed as-is, wrapped behind an API, or re-platformed to match the unified portal's target stack. * Lead technical discovery: inventory the systems behind each legacy client portal and assesswhat it takes to expose their data to a unified, client-facing layer. * Define and personally help build the overall architecture for the platform - API/aggregation layer, data pipelines, authentication/authorization model, and integration patterns with source-of-record systems. * Make and document build-vs-integrate calls for major components (e.g., enhancement-request workflow, document repository) with clear tradeoffs. * Design the role-based access control and data segmentation model so Executive/Analyst/Operations personas - and different client organizations - see only what they should, reconciling with the existing Okta/SCIM setup already in production. * Partner with Product, Security/Compliance, and Data teams to ensure the architecture supports regulatory and PHI/PII handling requirements from day one. * Write production code across the frontend and backend to establish the patterns (component structure, API conventions, integration approach) the rest of the engineering team will build against. * Produce architecture documentation and decision records for the engineering team that follows. * Advise on sequencing/phasing of the build given technical dependencies and risk. * Act as the primary technical point of contact through the discovery and early build phases. * Complete all responsibilities as outlined in the annual performance review and/or goal setting. * Complete all special projects and other duties as assigned. * Must be able to perform duties with or without reasonable accommodation. This job description is intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed and is not to be construed as an exhaustive list of responsibilities, duties and skills required. This job description does not constitute an employment agreement and is subject to change as the needs of Cotiviti and requirements of the job change. Qualifications * 8+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years in a principal/staff-level or senior technical lead role, with hands-on full-stack delivery (not purely a design/architecture-only track record). * Strong C#/.NET experience, in cluding exposure to Blazor or comparable component-based .NET web frameworks - enough depth to evaluate, integrate, or replatform an existing Blazor application, not just read about it. * Solid working knowledge of Microsoft...
