The role also contributes to system architecture, performance and reliability improvements, technical direction, platform capabilities, and engineering mentorship.
Responsibilities
- **Systems Ownership:** Design and implement backend systems within pharmacy operations, manufacturing, and logistics domains; use AI-assisted tools to model dependencies, assess load, and validate design decisions before committing engineering resources
- **Governance Standards:** Apply and contribute to architectural standards governing how services communicate and evolve; participate in design reviews to reduce systemic risk in Empower’s highly regulated 503A/503B environment
- **Platform Interoperability:** Implement and maintain integrations across internal services and external regulatory systems using canonical data contracts and API versioning protocols; leverage AI tooling to detect integration drift and accelerate service onboarding
- **Scale Engineering:** Build high-throughput, low-latency backend systems for large-scale pharmacy and logistics workloads; apply AI-augmented capacity planning to maintain performance under peak demand without over-provisioning infrastructure
- **Resilience Architecture:** Implement fault-tolerant systems with observability layers—distributed tracing, structured logging, and anomaly detection—that surface degradation early; collaborate with SRE teams to support incident response and reduce recovery time
- **Performance Optimization:** Conduct performance analysis identifying bottlenecks at the database, network, and application tiers; use AI-assisted profiling to prioritize fixes and deliver measurable improvements in latency and throughput
- **Technical Mentorship:** Mentor junior and mid-level engineers within the team—elevating design literacy and code quality through structured reviews and pair programming; model rigor and learning agility that raises the bar for those around you
- **Platform Velocity:** Contribute to shared platform capabilities—CI/CD pipelines, reusable libraries, infrastructure-as-code—that standardize delivery; leverage AI-powered code generation and automated testing to improve team efficiency and output quality
- **Strategic Influence:** Contribute to technical direction and roadmap priorities within your team; translate operational complexity and regulatory requirements into clear technical recommendations that build alignment among peers and stakeholders
