About the Role
We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to be the technical lead of our Web Applications Platform team. This team builds the foundation under every application at Qventus. They own all shared services, including authentication/identity and configuration. The platform team also owns the build and deployment path that carries code into each hospital customer's isolated environment.
Platform’s customers are other engineering teams, so the work is measured by how efficiently and safely they can create and then grow our applications.
You'll be the technical lead of a team composed of several other engineers. That means setting technical direction, owning the roadmap in collaboration with stakeholders, and writing code or configurations as needed. Your highest-leverage work will be cross-team efforts to make great architectural choices that impact a half dozen applications. This role reports to an engineering manager, who is responsible for team health and career growth.
This role is also central to defining how engineering benefits from AI coding tools: the standards, the context that makes agents genuinely useful, and the guardrails that keep our codebase and deployed apps secure and compliant.
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years building and operating production software
- Experience on a platform, infrastructure, internal tools, or developer-facing team
- Strong Python, Django, and FastAPI skills
- Real depth in Kubernetes and GitOps delivery (Helm, ArgoCD)
- Experience owning an authentication / authorization system
- Excellent project management skills: breaking down, estimating, sequencing, and communicating about work in progress
- Clear written and verbal communication; influential beyond one team
Bonus Points For
- Multi-tenant SaaS experience
- Backstage, internal developer portals, or service scaffolding tooling
- Healthcare tech knowledge: HIPAA, PHI/PII, Epic and Cerner integrations, SMART on FHIR
- Terraform, Jenkins, Datadog and/or APM in general
- Built or rolled out agent-based dev tooling: MCP servers, coding agents, matrixed evals, spec-driven workflows, shared knowledge bases
Compensation for this role is based on market data and takes into account a variety of factors, including location, skills, qualifications, and prior relevant experience. Salary is just one part of the total rewards package at Qventus. We also offer a range of benefits and perks, including Open Paid Time Off, paid parental leave, professional development, wellness and technology stipends, a generous employee referral bonus, and employee stock option awards.
Salary Range$180,000—$200,000 USD*Benefits and perks are subject to plan documents and may change at the company's discretion.
*Employment is contingent upon the satisfactory completion of our pre-employment background investigation and drug test.
