Sen. Full Stack Software Engineer​/Tech Lead Position

Roadrunner Health Services is seeking a senior full-stack software engineer / technical lead to assume technical ownership of an existing custom electronic medical record (EMR) platform used for correctional healthcare workflows. The platform uses a Laravel/PHP backend, a Next.js/React frontend, MySQL, Git/Bitbucket, and AWS infrastructure.

• No direct supervisory responsibility is required initially; however, this role is expected to provide technical leadership, code-review standards, architecture guidance, and direction to contractors or additional developers when needed.

• Assume technical ownership of an existing Laravel/PHP and Next.js/React codebase and establish a reliable development, staging, and production workflow.
• Perform a structured takeover assessment of source code, Git history, database schema and migrations, dependencies, AWS infrastructure, CI/CD, credentials, integrations, testing, and technical documentation.
• Develop, maintain, refactor, and complete existing clinical and operational workflows while avoiding unnecessary rewrites of working functionality.
• Design and enforce secure authorization at the role, facility, resource, patient, and action level so users cannot access protected health information outside their authorized responsibilities.
• Strengthen authentication, session security, least-privilege access, secrets management, encryption, secure file handling, audit logging, and security monitoring.
• Review and improve clinical record provenance, signatures, amendments, versioning, and auditability so historical clinical information is preserved appropriately.
• Review MySQL schema design, Eloquent relationships, migrations, constraints, indexes, data integrity, and safe production database-change practices.
• Build and maintain automated unit, feature, API, integration, regression, and security-focused tests around critical clinical workflows.
• Maintain and improve AWS infrastructure, Linux/Nginx/PHP‑FPM configuration, deployment pipelines, backups, recovery procedures, monitoring, and documented restore testing.
• Support existing integrations and data‑exchange workflows, including secure file transfer, external APIs, jail management system (JMS) data, reporting, and future interoperability interfaces.
• Work with clinical and operational stakeholders to translate correctional-health requirements into technically sound, testable product behavior.
• Create and maintain architecture diagrams, data dictionaries, deployment/runbook documentation, API documentation, change records, and technical decision records.
• Participate in vulnerability remediation, penetration‑test remediation, release readiness, user acceptance testing, and controlled pilot deployment.
• Evaluate third‑party and open‑source dependencies for licensing, security, maintainability, and compatibility before adoption.
• Perform other related software engineering and technical leadership duties as required.

• Securely transition repositories, environments, credentials, deployment processes, and infrastructure control to Roadrunner Health Services.
• Validate facility and patient‑level authorization boundaries and remediate object‑level access weaknesses before production use.
• Validate database migrations and the ability to rebuild the application safely from source and documented configuration.
• Harden audit/provenance controls, secrets handling, error handling, backups, restore procedures, and production deployment.
• Establish sufficient automated testing and release gates for a controlled single‑facility pilot.
