Senior Full Stack Software Engineer - CostCheck

Team: Software Engineering

Location: United States - Remote

Commitment: Full Time - Remote - In-person meeting attendance required

Workplace Type: remote

Salary:

• Backend (CostCheck): Java 21, Spring Boot, Hibernate/JPA, PostgreSQL, Maven
• Backend (ShortageCheck): Python, MySQL + Athena, SageMaker ML pipelines
• Frontend: Angular, React, TypeScript
• Infra: AWS (ECS, RDS, S3, CloudFront)
• AI-assisted development: We are heavy Claude Code users — our engineers ship faster by pairing with Claude on everything from schema migrations and Hibernate entity design to Angular component work, code review, and production support. We invest in custom skills, subagents, and team-shared workflows, and we expect our engineers to be effective at leveraging AI tooling as a force multiplier.

You can expect to

• Design and build features end-to-end: PostgreSQL schema and migrations, Hibernate/JPA entities, Spring Boot REST APIs, and the webapps that consume them.
• Tune complex queries against a large, normalized pharmaceutical data model.
• Maintain a high bar for developer experience and champion technical excellence.
• Review code and provide thoughtful, constructive feedback during code reviews.
• Own the full software development lifecycle – from ideation and design to deployment and monitoring in Datadog.
• Contribute to ShortageCheck's product architecture and roadmap, helping align overlapping initiatives across CostCheck and ShortageCheck so the two platforms grow together.
• Provide compassionate technical mentorship and pairing opportunities.
• Push our AI-assisted workflows forward — build skills, refine prompts, and help the team get more out of Claude Code.
• Stay updated with industry trends and integrate emerging technologies.

Qualifications and Requirements

• 5+ years of experience as a software engineer working across the stack.
• Deep expertise in Java and Spring Boot, including REST API design, dependency injection, and testing.
• Strong Hibernate/JPA skills — entity mapping, relationship modeling, fetching strategies, and avoiding common pitfalls (N+1, lazy-loading issues, dialect/connection-pool quirks).
• Strong PostgreSQL skills — schema design, indexing, query tuning, and writing/reviewing migrations safely against large production datasets.
• Comfort on the front-end: experience with modern web frameworks and integrating UIs with RESTful APIs.
• Expertise in software engineering best practices, including unit and integration testing.
• Hands-on experience with AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) and a thoughtful perspective on where they help and where human judgment is required.
• Progressive experience in analyzing complex problems, developing solutions, and building CI/CD pipelines.
• Effective verbal and written communication skills with the ability to collaborate within the team and across the organization.
• Embody our core values (Get Stuff Done, Join Forces, Honor the Customer, Redefine Possible, and Have Fun).
 
Nice to have
• Experience in healthcare or other regulated industries, with a focus on building compliant and secure solutions.
• Familiarity with AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS, S3), Terraform, and Datadog APM.
• Experience building or extending Claude Code skills, subagents, hooks, or MCP integrations.
• Experience with AWS Bedrock or SageMaker to help prototype the next generation of AI technology for the product.
• Experience working in a multi-repo / multi-service codebase with a shared core library.
• Working knowledge of Python (FastAPI a plus) to contribute across the ShortageCheck stack.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field.
