Lantern is seeking a Staff Software Engineer (Architecture) to join our expanding Architecture team. This is a strategic and evident role focused on driving architectural consistency, elevating technical standards, and helping scale our cloud-native healthcare platform to meet the needs of patients, care advocates, and enterprise clients.

As a Staff Engineer, you’ll partner with cross-functional teams—including engineering leads, product managers, clinicians, and compliance—to influence the design and delivery of scalable, secure, and maintainable systems. You will provide hands-on technical leadership across the stack while guiding engineering teams through complex architectural decisions, platform evolution, and modernization initiatives.

We are looking for someone who thrives in ambiguity, can zoom out to evaluate systems holistically, but is not afraid to dive into code to unblock teams or lead by example. If you enjoy solving complex system design problems, mentoring other engineers, and enabling organizational scale through thoughtful architecture, we’d love to hear from you.

Location: Remote USA

Responsibilities

Act as a senior architecture contributor and technical leader across key domains, collaborating with multiple pods to deliver cohesive and scalable solutions.
Lead modularization and platform decoupling efforts to reduce tech debt, improve maintainability, and empower team-level ownership.
Drive system design and architecture for secure, resilient, and performant services using modern cloud-native technologies (Azure preferred).
Collaborate with engineering, product, and compliance partners to ensure architectural alignment with business priorities, regulatory constraints, and product roadmaps.
Guide and mentor engineers—both formally and informally—on architecture best practices, technical growth, and system-level thinking.
Champion code quality, testability, and design standards, providing deep technical reviews and working examples that elevate engineering excellence.
Evaluate frameworks, tools, and integration strategies—including Salesforce and other CRM platforms—to support scale and interoperability.
Contribute to and evolve Lantern’s internal architecture guidelines, reference implementations, and technical documentation, with an emphasis on innovation, AI integration, and long-term maintainability.
Lead technical discovery and prototyping for complex integrations and data flow challenges, including those involving FHIR, HL7, and Kafka.
Influence technical direction and execution of multi-team projects, ensuring delivery meets high standards of reliability, security, and performance.

Requirements & Qualifications

8+ years of professional software development experience, with at least 3+ years in a senior/staff/principal-level role.
Proven track record designing and building distributed systems, APIs, and cloud-native services using .NET Core (C#) and modern front-end frameworks (React or Angular).
Strong experience in domain-driven design (DDD), microservices, and event-driven architectures using tools such as Apache Kafka (or similar platforms like RabbitMQ, AWS SNS/SQS), including familiarity with saga patterns.
Hands-on experience architecting solutions on Azure or AWS, including serverless functions, messaging queues, managed databases, and infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, Bicep).
Solid experience with CRM integration design, particularly with Salesforce, and other external systems requiring structured API-based data exchange and synchronization.
Demonstrated ability to lead architectural initiatives that drive improvements in scalability, performance, reliability, and developer experience.
Strong understanding of CI/CD, observability, DevSecOps, and secrets management best practices.
Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills; able to clearly explain complex technical topics to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Experience working in regulated domains such as HIPAA and familiarity with healthcare applications or platforms.
Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Nice to Have

Experience applying FHIR, HL7, or X12 standards within healthcare systems.
Experience with AI/ML services or architectural contributions to innovation-driven initiatives.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
