Lead Software Engineer

Job Title: Sr. Software Engineer

How is this team contributing to Providence’s vision?

Our team builds robust, cloud-native platforms that deliver reliable, resilient, and high-performance connectivity across our hospitals. These platforms empower caregivers with seamless access to critical systems—directly supporting our mission: “Health for a better world.”

What will you be responsible for?

• Design and implement high-performance, cloud-native microservices with a strong focus on Python (FastAPI), JavaScript frameworks, PostgreSQL, and scalable distributed systems.
• Architect and build end-to-end full-stack solutions using React/Next.js, modern JavaScript tooling, and Python-based backend services.
• Develop highly scalable, sustainable, and performant systems, ensuring low latency, reliability, and observability.
• Deliver well-tested features across multiple services and platforms using DevOps pipelines (GitHub Actions), containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes).
• Build APIs and integrate with internal and external systems following modern API design standards.
• Analyze, collate, and transform large data sets to solve complex, real-world challenges.
• Use engineering best practices to ensure maintainable, secure, and enterprise-grade software.
• Drive, own, and influence architecture, design decisions, and system blueprints.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams—architects, analysts, data engineers—to deliver solutions that enable business workflows.
• Work within a culture of continuous improvement, experimentation, and learning.
• Apply performance tuning, profiling, and architectural optimization techniques across services.
• Contributes to the evolution of AI-enabled engineering by exploring GenAI and Agentic AI application patterns.
  
  
  

• Build and maintain Azure cloud-native and hybrid (cloud + on-prem) solutions.
• Develop enterprise-grade front-end applications using React/Next.js, TypeScript, HTML5, CSS3.
• Implement full-stack Python services using FastAPI, asyncio, message queues, and microservices practices.
• Design and maintain relational data models and schemas using PostgreSQL / SQL.
• Contribute to CI/CD automation, IaC, and platform reliability using GitHub Actions, Kubernetes, Docker, and monitoring tools.
• Integrate APIs, microservices, and third-party systems using secure, scalable patterns.
• Optionally, they contribute to .NET-based microservices where needed (secondary skills).
