This role is for a technically skilled, passionate individual who thrives on empowering other engineers, reducing cognitive load, and fostering consistency across a rapidly growing organization.

• Design, develop, and maintain high-quality, reusable reference libraries, frameworks, and foundational services that empower application teams to build scalable and robust solutions (e.g., common patterns for Kafka integration, gRPC/Protobuf communication, and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)).

• Create comprehensive, documentation-first resources, examples, and templates that serve as blueprints for engineering teams.

• Collaborate closely with product-aligned engineering teams to understand their needs and ensure enablement solutions are practical, maintainable, and widely adopted. 

• Contribute to fostering a culture of technical excellence, standardization, and continuous improvement across the engineering organization.

• Provide guidance and support to engineering teams on the effective adoption and utilization of enablement tools and libraries.

• Independently drive the design, development, and delivery of reusable tools and libraries from conception to completion, effectively managing project scope and communicating progress.

• 7 years of progressive experience as a Software Engineer, with a strong background in designing, building, and operating scalable backend services and APIs.

• Proficiency in one or more high-level programming languages such as C#, Java, and Golang.

• Solid foundation in software engineering principles: problem-solving, data structures, algorithms, and design patterns.

• Strong understanding of database systems and RESTful API design.

• Experience with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP) and containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).

• Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, with a proven ability to collaborate effectively with diverse technical teams, articulate complex technical concepts clearly, and actively listen to understand varied perspectives and needs.

• Demonstrated ability to work autonomously, prioritize tasks, and manage multiple initiatives simultaneously in a fast-paced environment, while consistently delivering high-quality results.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience.

• Prior experience in an Engineering Enablement, Platform, or Developer Experience role.

• Demonstrated success in creating and maintaining shared libraries, internal tools, or standardized patterns for engineering teams.

• Deep understanding and practical experience with event-driven architectures and messaging systems, particularly Apache Kafka.

• Strong proficiency in designing and implementing high-performance communication protocols, including gRPC and Protobuf.

• Familiarity with code generation techniques (e.g., for Protobuf, database schemas).

• Experience with observability tools and practices (logging, metrics, tracing, e.g., New Relic, Prometheus, Grafana).

• Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines and developer tooling.

• Comfortable working with and contributing to open-source projects or internal equivalents.

• A strong personal passion for developer productivity, standardization, and knowledge sharing.

Signify Health is helping build the healthcare system we all want to experience by transforming the home into the healthcare hub. We coordinate care holistically across individuals’ clinical, social, and behavioral needs so they can enjoy more healthy days at home. By building strong connections to primary care providers and community resources, we’re able to close critical care and social gaps, as well as manage risk for individuals who need help the most. This leads to better outcomes and a better experience for everyone involved.

Our high-performance networks are powered by more than 10,000 mobile doctors and nurses covering every county in the U.S., 3,500 healthcare providers and facilities in value-based arrangements, and hundreds of community-based organizations. Signify’s intelligent technology and decision-support services enable these resources to radically simplify care coordination for more than 1.5 million individuals each year while helping payers and providers more effectively implement value-based care programs.

We are committed to equal employment opportunities for employees and job applicants in compliance with applicable law and to an environment where employees are valued for their differences.
