Staff Software Engineer

As a Staff Software Engineer at FuzeRx, you are a principal technical leader within our technology organization, responsible for defining the architectural evolution, technical strategy, and engineering standards of our digital pharmacy platforms. This role sits within our core product engineering hierarchy, reporting directly to the Director/VP of Engineering or a Principal Engineer.

Unlike traditional management paths, this is a highly technical individual contributor (IC) role. You will serve as a force multiplier across multiple agile squads, tackling our most complex distributed systems challenges and ensuring our API-driven fulfillment platform is secure, highly scalable, and resilient. By blending deep technical expertise in Ruby on Rails, Python, PostgreSQL, and AWS with a strong understanding of healthcare systems, you will directly influence how millions of patients access vital medications.

Key Responsibilities

• Technical Leadership & Architecture: Define the long-term technical vision and architectural roadmap for FuzeRx’s B2B and consumer platforms. Drive decisions around microservices design, API design, database schemas, and data pipelines.


• Engineering Excellence & Code Quality: Lead by example by writing clean, highly optimized, and maintainable code for critical system components. Establish engineering standards, champion rigorous code reviews, and advocate for modern testing practices.


• System Scalability & Performance: Own the reliability and performance of our core platforms. Diagnose and resolve complex systemic issues, optimize heavy PostgreSQL workloads, and architect high-throughput infrastructure on AWS.


• Cross-Squad Force Multiplier: Act as a technical consultant and mentor to engineers across multiple squads. Break down ambiguous, massive technical problems into actionable execution phases that junior and senior engineers can successfully deliver.


• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Product Managers, Pharmacy Operations, and Engineering Managers to evaluate technical feasibility, de-risk complex roadmaps, and align technology choices with business objectives.


• Security & Compliance Safeguarding: Architect systems with privacy by design. Ensure our codebase, data-at-rest, and data-in-transit adhere strictly to healthcare regulations (e.g., HIPAA, SOC2), safeguarding sensitive patient data.


• Innovation & R&D: Evaluate emerging technologies, frameworks, and patterns. Build prototypes and proofs-of-concept (POCs) to derisk new initiatives before they are rolled out to the wider engineering team.

Required Experience & Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).


• Technical Experience: 8+ years of progressive experience in software engineering, with at least 3+ years acting as a Tech Lead, Architect, or Staff Engineer designing complex, distributed systems.


• Tools & Tech Stack: Expert-level mastery in at least one core language (Ruby on Rails or Python) and deep proficiency with PostgreSQL, TypeScript/JavaScript, and AWS cloud infrastructure (e.g., ECS, RDS, Lambda, VPC).


• System Design Expertise: Proven track record of designing, building, and scaling high-volume API-led transactional or logistical platforms.


• Communication & Influence: Exceptional ability to articulate complex architectural trade-offs to both highly technical engineers and non-technical stakeholders (e.g., clinical, product, and operational leaders).


• Shift / Site Specific Requirements: Standard business hours; available for critical tier-3 escalation architecture support if needed. [Insert Remote/Hybrid/On-site details].

Preferred Qualifications

• Education: Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical discipline.


• Industry & Domain Experience: Prior engineering experience within Pharmacy Tech, Digital Health, or highly regulated FinTech/HealthTech environments.


• Healthcare Interoperability: Deep understanding of healthcare data standards, pharmacy management systems, or electronic health record (EHR) integrations.


• Measurable Impact: Proven track record of successfully leading major architecture modernization projects (e.g., monolith-to-services migrations, database overhauls) with zero-downtime within an AWS ecosystem.
