This role is an intersection of a lot of sub-roles, not a particular specialization.Software EngineerEmpower 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 (thanks to everyone who shared/applied). Now we’re expanding the team: - 1 Staff Software Engineer - 4 Senior Software Engineers - 4 Software Engineers (new grad / early career) All roles are US-based (remote within the US). 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: Java / Spring Boot, React / Next.js, Azure (Service Bus, Kubernetes), SQL Server. Event-driven, service-oriented architecture at enterprise scale. We use AI-assisted development heavily in the workflow (not as a bolt-on), so if you already lean on tools like Copilot/LLMs, you’ll be at home. 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. 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. Job description and application: 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. · RemoteSenior Software Engineer, Distributed Systems Engineer - DGX CloudNvidia · 2 Locations · Posted TodSenior Software Engineer (Rust) - remote in the EUMirantis · Spain · 19d ago
