Senior Software Engineer (AI)

Honeybee Health is building production software that helps pharmacies operate in a HIPAA-regulated, patient-facing environment. As a Senior Software Engineer (AI), you will help identify and deliver high-leverage systems end to end, using modern AI leverage where it improves outcomes for engineering and healthcare teams.

This is a delivery-focused role: you’ll prototype quickly, validate with the people who will use what you build, then harden systems for production while owning architecture and integration across Honeybee’s platform.

What you’ll do

• Identify and propose high-leverage systems across Honeybee, spanning both software (prescription processing, partner integrations, internal tools) and operations (pharmacy workflows, patient support, order fulfillment), then surface opportunities and build the case with product and engineering leadership.
• Design, build, and ship approved systems end to end, moving from rapid prototyping to production readiness in a HIPAA-regulated environment.
• Own the architecture of what you build and contribute to the broader platform architecture, including service boundaries, data flows, and how new systems integrate with Rails, Go, and Next.js applications.
• Develop leverage for the engineering team itself, including agentic workflows and code-generation pipelines, enabling smaller teams to ship effectively.
• Propose and prototype new capabilities for healthcare partners and internal teams, using AI when appropriate, and secure team and stakeholder buy-in before building.
• Contribute to the core codebase alongside the team as part of an active delivery cadence aligned to the Jira roadmap.
• Collaborate closely with engineering, pharmacy operations, and product leadership, contributing a strong voice in engineering discussions.

Requirements

• Substantial professional software engineering experience (roughly 7+ years), with real production systems that have been built, deployed, and operated.
• Hands-on, daily fluency with modern AI tooling, including LLM APIs, coding agents, and workflow automation, backed by strong opinions from actual use rather than demos.
• Proven end-to-end delivery, with the ability to turn a vague opportunity into a working system without a detailed spec while keeping stakeholders aligned.
• Reliability in execution and communication, with ownership of outcomes through production and beyond.
• Stack flexibility, enabling rapid productivity in unfamiliar codebases or languages and tool selection focused on leverage.
• Judgment about where AI belongs and where it does not, especially for regulated, patient-facing settings.

• LLM APIs, coding agents, workflow automation
• Ruby on Rails 6, Go, TypeScript
• React 18, Next.js 14, Tailwind CSS, Nx monorepo, TanStack Query
• MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, SQL Server, OpenSearch
• AWS (EKS, RDS, S3, SQS, Lambda, CloudFront), Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker
• Temporal.io, Sentry, OpenTelemetry, Metabase, Grafana, Loki, Prometheus
• HIPAA, PHI

Benefits

• 401(k) matching
• Dental insurance
• Flexible spending account
• Health insurance
• Health savings account
• Life insurance
• Retirement plan
• Vision insurance

Huge plus

• Production experience in Ruby on Rails, Next.js/TypeScript/React, and Go
• DevOps depth with AWS (EKS, RDS, SQS, Lambda), Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, and observability
• Experience shipping LLM-powered features or agentic systems to production
• Healthcare, pharmacy, or regulated-industry experience (HIPAA, PHI)

Application questions

• Which AI tools are part of your daily engineering work? Describe one concrete thing you shipped faster or differently because of them.
• Describe a system you took from vague idea to running in production. What was your role, and what happened after launch?
• Which of these have you shipped production code in: Ruby on Rails, Next.js/TypeScript, Go?
