Responsibilities
- Design and implement full-stack architectural patterns through direct, hands-on contribution
- Author architecture decision records (ADRs) grounded in working code, lead design reviews with active prototyping, and personally build reference implementations that teams can adopt
- Own the hardest architectural problems – those requiring both deep system thinking and the ability to ship
- Contribute production-quality code to the most complex features, platform capabilities, and performance-critical systems across the stack
- Build and maintain shared libraries, API patterns, and observability tooling (Grafana, DORA metrics)
- Actively use and champion AI-assisted development tooling (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot Enterprise) to accelerate individual and pod-level output
- Evaluate emerging technologies through working proof-of-concepts, not just review
- Mentor senior and mid-level engineers through pair programming, hands-on code review, and collaborative design sessions – not through directives
- Partner with engineering managers on hiring bar calibration and DORA metric improvement by modeling the behaviors and output expected at each level
- Influence org-wide engineering quality through the code and systems built, not through committee participation
Skills
- 10 or more years of applicable experience
- Bachelors (Required)
- Expert-level full-stack engineering: production delivery across distributed systems, API design (REST, GraphQL, event-driven), and modern frontend frameworks (React, TypeScript)
- Cloud platform architecture on Azure, AWS, and/or GCP at enterprise scale
- Infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and DevSecOps practices
- Hands-on technical leadership: driving quality through working code, ADR authorship backed by implementation, and design reviews grounded in direct contribution
- Observability and reliability engineering: Grafana, DORA metrics, performance debugging, and production incident ownership
- Palantir Foundry, Databricks, or equivalent data platform integration experience
- Kafka or event streaming architecture
- Proficiency with AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot Enterprise) as a force-multiplier for individual engineering output
- Security architecture and CIAM integration patterns
Benefits
- Health, dental, vision, life and disability insurance
- 401k retirement program
- Paid time off
- Participation in Premier’s employee incentive plans
