Lead software architecture and hands-on development for secure, scalable healthcare, fintech, AI, and SaaS platforms. Own system design, APIs, data modeling, cloud infrastructure, reliability, security, observability, and cost. Diagnose production incidents and performance bottlenecks, establish engineering standards, review code, participate in on-call, and mentor engineers. Build MERN-based platforms using cloud-native technologies across AWS, GCP, or Azure.

Why Techdome?
Great architecture is proven in production, not on a whiteboard. We’re hiring a Lead Software Engineer who designs systems, builds them alongside the team, and stays accountable once they’re live.
Techdome is a profitable, product-driven company with 80+ engineers building healthcare, fintech, AI, and SaaS products. Our platforms handle sensitive patient records and real financial transactions for large user bases. You’ll be a technical leader who helps keep them fast, secure, and dependable as we scale.
What You’ll Do
- Own the architecture: Lead system design, API contracts, data modeling, security, scalability, observability, and cloud cost across our products.
- Be accountable for reliability: Own uptime, latency, and throughput as usage grows, including a share of on-call.
- Build security in from day one: Design safe PHI and payment flows with compliance part of the architecture, not a retrofit.
- Drive cloud-native delivery: Run MERN-based platforms on AWS, GCP, or Azure using Kubernetes, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and sound secrets management.
- Make the hard calls: Monolith vs. microservices, event-driven patterns, third-party integrations, build vs. buy. Make the decision, document the reasoning, and stand behind it.
- Fix what’s broken: Jump into production incidents, find root causes, and resolve performance, scaling, and availability issues.
- Set the standard: Create reference architectures, reusable patterns, and practical guidelines that our engineering teams can follow.
- Stay hands-on: Write code, run design reviews, and review pull requests every week.
- Grow the next leaders: Mentor engineers and help develop future tech leads.
Must have
- 6.5+ years in software engineering, with a record of owning architecture decisions
- Experience running a live production system with 100,000+ users
- Proven history of diagnosing and fixing serious scale and performance bottlenecks
- Strong hands-on skills in Node.js and React (MERN preferred)
- Solid architecture experience on AWS, GCP, or Azure
- Background in healthcare, fintech, payments, insurance, or another high-security domain
- Deep understanding of distributed systems, API design, databases, and reliability engineering
- Ability to explain and defend technical decisions to engineers and non-technical stakeholders alike
Nice to have
- Hands-on experience with HIPAA, PHI handling, or PCI-DSS compliance
- Working knowledge of Stripe, Braintree, or tokenization
- Experience with high-availability, event-driven, or microservices systems
- Background in SaaS, consulting, or a venture studio
- Daily use of AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot
- Fast path to production: Your designs ship quickly and reach real users.
- Real influence: You shape engineering standards for a large, growing team.
- Stability without bureaucracy: A profitable company with minimal red tape.
- Global reach: Products used by customers around the world.
