The Lead Software Engineer is a senior, hands‑on individual contributor — the most experienced engineer on the team. This is not a people management role. The Lead sets the technical standard from within the codebase: writing and shipping production code daily, owning the hardest problems, making architecture calls, and elevating peers through code reviews, pair programming, and technical guidance. Beyond direct delivery, the Lead collaborates with stakeholders to shape requirements, drives adoption of AI‑assisted development tools, and ensures the team delivers scalable, secure, high‑quality software across the full stack.

• Write, review, and ship production‑quality code daily across the full stack — backend services, APIs, and frontend features
• Own the most complex, high‑impact features and systems end‑to‑end: from design and implementation through deployment and production support
• Debug and resolve complex production issues, performance bottlenecks, and architectural problems directly in the codebase
• Set the bar for code quality, test coverage, and engineering rigor through your own contributions, not just through direction
• Stay current with evolving technologies, frameworks, and AI tooling by applying them hands‑on in daily work
• Design and optimize database schemas, queries, and data access patterns for performance and maintainability
• Build observability into services: logging, monitoring, and alerting for production systems

• Drive architectural decisions across the Clinician Nexus suite: system design, API design, microservices, scalability, reliability, and security
• Identify, evaluate, and advocate for new technologies and engineering best practices based on direct hands‑on assessment
• Lead and participate in code reviews and design reviews, ensuring consistent standards across the team
• Act as a technical bridge between product, design, and engineering — translating business needs into sound technical solutions
• Actively leverage AI‑assisted development tools (code generation, test generation, documentation automation) and promote their responsible use across the team
• Apply critical judgment to validate AI‑generated outputs for correctness, quality, and security
• Identify opportunities to integrate AI capabilities directly into product workflows and platform features

• Elevate the team through hands‑on mentorship: pair programming, code reviews, design discussions, and knowledge sharing
• Serve as a technical resource for teammates tackling difficult problems — accessible, generous with knowledge, and focused on growing team capability
• Contribute to a culture of ownership, craftsmanship, and continuous improvement
• Collaborate with product, UX, and other stakeholders — participating in standups, sprint planning, and design meetings as a technical voice
• Create and maintain technical documentation: architecture decisions, runbooks, and user story specs

• Write and maintain automated tests (unit, integration, end‑to‑end) as a standard part of delivery
• Champion test coverage and quality‑first engineering practices across all work
• Use AI tools to accelerate test generation, refactoring, and debugging workflows

• Deep expertise in .NET / C#, ASP.NET MVC, Entity Framework, and .NET Core
• Strong backend proficiency in RESTful API and gRPC service design, microservices, and event‑driven architecture
• Experience with MSSQL / SQL Server 2018+, PostgreSQL, and/or Aurora‑compatible databases (data modeling,…
