Job Title: Software Engineer (Staff, Senior, and Early Career)
Source: Hacker News
Empower Pharmacy is hiring engineers to work on event-driven, distributed systems that actually run a real-world business (regulated pharma), not ad tech or yet another CRUD SaaS.
We just filled one Staff Engineer role directly from my last LinkedIn post. Now we’re expanding the team:
- 1 Staff Software Engineer
- 4 Senior Software Engineers
- 4 Software Engineers (new grad / early career)
Location: US-based (remote within the US).
About the Role
We’re a small team owning the core platforms that run manufacturing, operations, and logistics. A lot of the work is greenfield or foundational: distributed systems, workflow orchestration, reliability/observability, and making it all scale in a domain where correctness actually matters.
Tech Stack
- Languages/Frameworks: Java / Spring Boot, React / Next.js
- Infrastructure: Azure (Service Bus, Kubernetes), SQL Server
- Architecture: Event-driven, service-oriented architecture at enterprise scale
- Development: We use AI-assisted development heavily in the workflow (not as a bolt-on). If you already lean on tools like Copilot/LLMs, you’ll be at home.
What We Are Looking For
If you:
- Like thinking in terms of systems and failure modes,
- Are comfortable across the stack (or want to grow there),
- And want your work to have direct impact on how a real business operates,
then I’d like to talk.
Interview Process
We’re setting up a round-robin “Virtual Interview Day” early next week so we can run both interview rounds in a single day for candidates who advance. The process is straightforward: practical discussions, system design, and code; no brainteasers.
How to Apply
- Job description and application: Apply via LinkedIn
- Alternative: If you’d rather skip the form, email me or DM me and include a GitHub/LinkedIn/resume and a short note on what you’ve built.
