Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. CentralReach is a leading provider of autism and IDD care software for Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and related therapies. The Software Engineer, Applications will work collaboratively to build, validate, and scale new product capabilities, focusing on hands-on development and technical leadership throughout the product lifecycle.
Responsibilities
- Shape the product hands-on — partner with Product to define what to build, then design and deliver it within the Product Organization while setting standards for code quality, architecture, and delivery
- Lead by doing: design and implement core application components, critical services, and integration layers
- Establish quality thresholds and release criteria (correctness, latency, reliability, cost, and user trust)
- Define and champion best practices for AI-assisted development: prompt and context strategies for coding agents, code review standards for AI-generated code, and guardrails that keep velocity high without sacrificing quality or security
- Build product capabilities end-to-end (service + workflow integration + instrumentation) using Python, Next.js, and modern backend patterns
- Use agentic coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) daily to accelerate prototyping, refactoring, test generation, and documentation
- Build and maintain shared libraries, components, and service templates that standardize application development across teams
- Develop internal tooling, scripts, and agent workflows that improve developer experience and automate repetitive engineering tasks
- Own technical readiness for production: reliability, observability, performance tuning, and incident response preparedness
- Collaborate with Platform Engineering and DevOps to ensure CI/CD and environment consistency, scaling strategies, cost controls, secrets management, and secure data handling
- Partner tightly with product builders and workflow owners to translate validated prototypes into production implementations
- Collaborate with core engineering teams to integrate new capabilities into CentralReach's main platforms
- Stay current with AI-assisted engineering practices (agentic coding, spec-driven development, automated code review) and help the broader engineering organization adopt them safely and effectively
Skills
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with demonstrated technical leadership
- Strong experience building and operating production distributed systems and backend services
- Strong proficiency in Python; experience with Next.js/TypeScript for full-stack delivery
- Demonstrated daily-driver fluency with AI coding tools and agents (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or similar), including effective context management, prompt strategies, and critical review of generated code
- Experience building or orchestrating agentic coding workflows (multi-step automation, MCP integrations, CI-integrated agents) is a strong plus
- Strong system design skills: APIs, data flows, integration patterns, performance and reliability tradeoffs
- Experience with observability and operational excellence (logging, metrics, tracing, alerting, incident response)
- Strong background in automated testing (unit, integration, e2e) and CI/CD tooling
- Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to product, design, and executive stakeholders
- Experience in a healthcare SaaS environment
- Familiarity with multi-tenant architectures and enterprise access control models
