Job Summary: Principal Software Engineer

Impact the platform that powers real healthcare outcomes! As a hands-on Full-Stack Principal Java Developer, you’ll build and evolve claims pricing solutions that are scalable, performant, and compliant. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys writing production code, solving complex pricing and data problems, and mentoring other engineers through example. You’ll work across backend services, event-driven pipelines, and front-end experiences that support pricing logic, adjudication workflows, and downstream analytics, with opportunities to contribute to AI enablement and developer productivity initiatives.

Job Roles And Responsibilities

• Build Claims Pricing Solutions: Design and develop claims pricing services using Java, Spring Boot, microservices, and REST APIs. Implement and maintain pricing logic, rules, calculations, and adjustments that support accuracy, auditability, and performance at scale. Build services that process high-volume claims data using asynchronous and event-driven patterns (Kafka / Event Hub / OCI Streaming). Ensure pricing solutions support regulatory, compliance, and audit requirements common to healthcare claims environments.
• Full-Stack Development: Develop high-throughput backend services with strong focus on latency, throughput, idempotency, and error handling. Build and enhance React.js applications used by pricing analysts, operations teams, or internal users—focusing on usability, performance, and clarity. Partner with Product and SMEs to translate pricing policies and business rules into well-designed, testable code.
• Cloud-Native & Platform Engineering: Build and run claims pricing workloads on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and Azure. Make pragmatic decisions around compute, storage, streaming, and serverless services to balance performance, cost, and reliability. Contribute to HA/DR strategies, capacity planning, and cloud cost optimization for pricing platforms.
• Event-Driven & Data Processing: Design and implement event-driven pricing workflows, including claim ingestion, repricing, adjustments, and downstream publishing. Apply patterns such as idempotency, retries, DLQs, saga-style orchestration, and CDC to ensure pricing consistency across systems. Monitor and tune pricing pipelines for volume spikes, backlogs, and operational resilience.
• Containers, CI/CD & Infrastructure as Code: Containerize applications with Docker and deploy using Kubernetes (OKE, AKS). Contribute to CI/CD pipelines with automated tests, quality gates, and progressive delivery practices. Use Terraform and shared modules to provision and evolve infrastructure supporting pricing services.
• Security, Quality & Observability: Implement secure authentication and authorization using OAuth2/OIDC, JWT, IAM roles, and secrets management. Embed observability into pricing services using structured logs, metrics, and distributed tracing to support audits and troubleshooting. Maintain strong testing discipline for pricing logic, including unit, integration, and regression tests.
• Mentorship & Technical Influence: Mentor engineers through code reviews, pairing, and design discussions, especially around pricing complexity and data correctness. Contribute to technical standards and design reviews with a practical, delivery-focused mindset. Collaborate with Product, Data, Security, and Ops to ensure pricing solutions meet business and operational needs.

Job Requirements (Education, Experience, And Training)

• Core Engineering (Required): Must have 8+ years hands-on full-stack experience building solutions using Java, Spring Boot, React, and Next.js. Expert in modern Java (JDK 21); experience leading JDK 17+ migrations and designing scalable microservices and APIs. Delivered FSB UI capabilities (release/versioning, file loads, reports) with front-end rendering and performance optimizations. Experience with OCI cloud and Terraform in production are huge pluses.
• Front-End (Required): 5+ years building responsive, accessible UIs with React and Next.js (routing, state management, theming). Proven performance tuning: code splitting, memorization, caching.
• Identity & Security (Required): Implemented Okta-based OAuth2/OIDC (PKCE) with RBAC, session/token management, protected routes, and fine-grained authorization in React/Next.js. Experience with custom claims, SCIM provisioning, and enterprise SSO.

• OCI & Infrastructure as Code (Required): Terraform-based provisioning of OCI Vault, IAM, Object Storage, API Gateway, OKE, Streams/Queues, and ADB using secure, production-grade patterns.
• Architecture, Quality & Performance (Required): Modernized architectures (e.g., microservice-per-table to schema-based models) and reduced tech debt. Proven performance gains (e.g., bulk updates reduced from minutes to seconds). Strong RCA, observability, and health-check platforms across large service estates.
• AI Enablement (Preferred): Led or supported LLM/prompt-engineering and GitHub Copilot enablement, including best practices for code and test generation. Concept-level knowledge of Agentic AI, RAG, and MCP Servers for GitHub Copilot; guidance-focused.
• Education & Certifications: BS in Computer Science or related field (required). OCI Foundations Associate (required). Preferred: OCI Developer Professional, OCI AI Foundations, OCI Generative AI.
