ABOUT THE ROLE:
We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the PBM Platform team at Rightway. This team is building our next-generation pharmacy platform. You'll help design and deliver the systems that power pharmacy benefits, determine coverage and pricing, and manage member cost-sharing across our entire book of business.
This isn't a "write features to spec" role. Our senior engineers own initiatives end-to-end: they shape architecture, define technical direction, unblock other engineers, and drive delivery across multiple workstreams. You'll partner directly with product and domain experts to make scope and sequencing decisions, not just implement them. You'll be the person your teammates come to when they're stuck, and you'll build the documentation, patterns, and tooling so they get stuck less often.
The stack is React on the frontend with TypeScript (NestJS) and Go on the backend. You should be comfortable working across both backend languages. We're an AI-native engineering team that uses AI tooling daily in our development workflow and expects our senior engineers to lead adoption, establish best practices, and help the team get better at working with these tools. The platform team is designed from day one around AI-assisted development

HOW WE LIVE OUR VALUES TO OUR TEAMMATES:
We’re seeking those with passion for healthcare and relentless devotion to our goal. We need team members that embody our core values:
1) We are human, first
Our humanity binds us together. We bring the same empathetic approach to every individual we engage with, whether it be our members, our clients, or each other. We are all worthy of respect and understanding and we engage in our interactions with care and intention. We honor our stories. We listen to—and hear—each other, we celebrate our differences and similarities, we are present for each other, and we strive for mutual understanding.
2) We redefine what is possible
We always look beyond the obstacles in front of us to imagine new solutions. We approach our work with inspiration from other industries, other leaders, and other challenges. We use ingenuity and resourcefulness when faced with tough problems.
3) We debate then commit
We believe that a spirit of open discourse is part of a healthy culture. We understand and appreciate different perspectives and we challenge our assumptions. When working toward a decision or a new solution, we actively listen to one another, approach it with a “yes, and” mentality, and assume positive intent. Once a decision is made, we align and champion it as one team.
4) We cultivate grit
Changing healthcare doesn’t happen overnight. We reflect and learn from challenges and approach the future with a determination to strive for better. In the face of daunting situations, we value persistence. We embrace failure as a stepping stone to future success. On this journey, we seek to act with guts, resilience, initiative, and tenacity.
5) We seek to delight
Healthcare is complicated and personal. We work tirelessly to meet the goals of our clients while also delivering the best experience to our members. We recognize that no matter the role or team, we each play a crucial part in our members’ care and take that responsibility seriously. When faced with an obstacle, we are kind, respectful, and solution-oriented in our approach. We hold ourselves accountable to our clients and our members’ success.
