Principal Software Engineer

About Veradigm

Veradigm is a healthcare data and technology company that connects providers, payers, and life sciences around the patient. Our Health Network Architecture (HNA) brings clinical, financial, and administrative data together across our EHR, practice management, revenue cycle, and patient engagement products, so a capability built once can serve every practice we support. Our products, including Practice Fusion, Veradigm EHR, Veradigm Practice Management, and FollowMyHealth, are used by thousands of independent practices and millions of patients.

About the role

This is an individual contributor role with broad influence. You will lead initiatives across multiple product and engineering teams while staying close to architecture, code, data, user experience, infrastructure, and production operations. You will turn ambiguous customer and business problems into clear technical direction, align teams around practical solutions, and improve engineering effectiveness across the organization.

We measure success by outcomes, not output. You will partner with product managers and designers to understand the problem and weigh in on feasibility before committing to a solution, test ideas early with customers and data, and judge results by whether they make a real difference for patients, practices, and partners. Shipping a feature is a step, not the goal.

We hold an unreasonably high bar for excellence. That means clear success criteria, designs and code that others can build on, systems that stay secure and reliable in production, and the discipline to simplify or stop work that is not delivering.

We value engineers who are curious, adaptable, and eager to learn and share what they discover. You will help multiple teams improve how they build software, including the responsible and effective use of AI-assisted development practices.

About the team

You will join the Patient Engagement group, which builds the tools patients use to schedule, check in, message their care team, pay their bill, and understand their care journey. You will work across existing and new patient engagement offerings; all integrated with our EHR products.

What you will do

• Lead complex, multi-team initiatives from discovery through delivery and production operation.
• Define architectures and roadmaps across databases, applications, integrations, cloud infrastructure, and deployment platforms.
• Stay hands-on by prototyping, designing, coding, debugging, reviewing, and implementing critical or high-risk work.
• Create alignment across teams by making technical decisions, tradeoffs, risks, dependencies, and evolution paths clear.
• Establish shared patterns and standards that help teams deliver consistently without becoming a bottleneck.
• Identify and address systemic risks in security, scalability, resilience, performance, data, cost, and developer experience.
• Lead modernization of large or long-lived systems while protecting customer value and operational stability.
• Set quality standards through design reviews, testing strategy, observability, incident learning, and operational readiness.
• Mentor engineers and technical leaders and influence engineering practices without relying on direct authority.
• Evaluate emerging technologies and AI-assisted development practices, establish useful patterns, and share guidance across teams.
• Help teams learn from delivery and production feedback through documentation, technical discussions, demos, and communities of practice.
