The posting

Who We Are:

SmithRx is a rapidly growing, venture-backed Health-Tech company. Our mission is to disrupt the expensive and inefficient Pharmacy Benefit Management (PBM) sector by building a next-generation drug acquisition platform driven by cutting edge technology, innovative cost saving tools, and best-in-class customer service. With hundreds of thousands of members onboarded since 2016, SmithRx has a solution that is resonating with clients all across the country.

We pride ourselves for our mission-driven and collaborative culture that inspires our employees to do their best work. We believe that the U.S healthcare system is in need of transformation, and we come to work each day dedicated to making that change a reality. At our core, we are guided by our company values:

  • Integrity: Do the right thing. Especially when it’s hard.
  • Courage: Embrace the challenge.
  • Together: Build bridges and lift up your colleagues.

Job Summary:

As a Senior Staff Software Engineer, you will play a key role in the entire engineering lifecycle from design, documentation, build, test and maintain our SmithRx product suite. You will advocate and bring best practices/methodologies, coding standards and large-scale system design perspectives to our team. We need our engineers to be versatile and driven, display leadership and ownership qualities, and be enthusiastic to take on new challenges as we continue to push technology forward.

What you will do:

  • Focus on back-end architecture; designing, developing and maintaining SmithRx product features using various languages such as Golang, JavaScript/Typescript, Node, GraphQL, and SQL (amongst others), while leveraging full CI and CD to iterate quickly
  • Collaborate with stakeholders and technical leads to understand functional and technical requirements to produce high-quality, scalable software and services
  • Provide scope and risk estimates for system and feature builds by building technical design documentation
  • Continually apply software development best practices, design patterns, testing, automation, tools and technologies.
  • Leverage AWS technologies, like Lambda and Fargate, to handle various types of jobs and batch processing
  • Troubleshoot production issues by performing triages for issues that arise, assessing the impact, creating and executing a plan for short-term and long-term mitigation, and performing root cause analysis to prevent future occurrence of issues.
  • Coach/mentor junior team members in their assigned engineering projects by reviewing and providing feedback on code developed, and performing design and code reviews
  • Work with senior leadership to turn technical vision into a tangible roadmap every quarter
  • Be the cornerstone of a collaborative learning culture through mentorship, code reviews, the exploration of new technologies, and other innovations

What you will bring to SmithRx:

  • BS or advanced degree in Computer Science or related field, or 4 years of equivalent professional experience.
  • 12-15 years of software development experience working on server-side applications, specifically around API servers, third party integrations and data processing
  • Experience at a high-growth startup a plus
  • Expertise in a compiled language such as Go, Java or Kotlin is required
  • Proficiency with relational databases such as PostgreSQL, including schema design, SQL tuning, and database monitoring is required
  • Demonstrated experience designing and implementing scalable APIs; a solid understanding of design patterns, database design, and testing best practices.
  • Working knowledge of GraphQL APIs, CI and CD pipeline, AWS platform, Docker, and Kubernetes a plus
  • Positivity; non-dogmatic, team-first attitude
  • Flexibility; someone who is responsive and comfortable with ambiguity
  • Highly disciplined approach to software design and development and ability to work on features independently (accurately forecast delivery milestones and work with stakeholders to ensure that expectations are met)

What SmithRx Offers You:

  • Highly competitive wellness benefits including Medical, Pharmacy, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance and AD&D Insurance
  • Flexible Spending Benefits

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
