About the Role

We're seeking an experienced Software Architect / Senior Developer to design and build a next-generation pharmacy management platform from the ground up. This role is ideal for someone who's led end-to-end architecture and development of pharmacy software systems—covering areas like e-prescribing (eRx), inventory, billing, insurance adjudication, and patient management.

You'll be responsible for defining the technical vision, architecture, and roadmap of a scalable, secure, and compliant pharmacy platform that can serve both independent and enterprise pharmacy networks.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the architecture, design, and development of a cloud-based pharmacy management system (PMS) from scratch.
Partner with business stakeholders and pharmacists to define system requirements and workflows.
Design system components covering dispensing, inventory, POS, e-prescriptions (SureScripts), third-party billing, and reporting modules.
Establish and enforce best practices for security, HIPAA compliance, and data integrity.
Build integrations with switches, wholesalers, and insurance networks.
Lead and mentor a small team of developers and QA engineers.
Own the full software development lifecycle — from architecture to deployment and ongoing optimization.
Stay up to date with pharmacy technology trends and regulatory changes (NCPDP, DEA, CMS, etc.).

Required Experience

8+ years of professional software development experience.
3+ years of architect-level experience designing enterprise-grade or healthcare-related systems.
Proven experience building or leading development for a pharmacy software solution (e.g., BestRx, PioneerRx, Liberty Software, or similar).
Strong understanding of pharmacy workflows, e-prescribing standards, and claims adjudication (NCPDP D.0, FHIR, HL7).
Proficiency in modern backend stacks (C#, .NET Core, Node.js, or Java) and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
Experience with relational databases (SQL Server, PostgreSQL) and RESTful APIs.
Deep understanding of security frameworks, HIPAA compliance, and data protection.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with front-end frameworks such as React, Angular, or Vue.
Familiarity with pharmacy integrations like SureScripts, QS/1, or Cardinal Health APIs.
Prior startup or early-stage product experience is a plus.
