[Hiring] Principal Software Engineer @A1M Solutions

Role Description

As an A1M Principal Software Engineer, you shape both strategic and tactical direction for the systems and teams you touch, across contracts and, where relevant, multiple centers, offices, or programs within the Technology Delivery practice. You operate with high autonomy, advocating for the right solutions rather than only the ones requested, and you're trusted to provide thought leadership and expert consultation, not just high quality delivery.

In this role, you will work with a small cross-functional scrum team to investigate and understand systemic challenges with State Medicaid Enterprise System modernization. You will work with the team to interview states and vendors about their implementation challenges and recommend to the client systems improvements and other interventions.

As well, you will serve as a technical solutions advisor to the contract as a whole, advising on:

• Development of Medicaid policy analysis tools
• How to identify, build, and sustain process automation opportunities

Qualifications

• 12+ years of relevant professional experience.
• Your portfolio or resume should demonstrate:
• Ability to write high-quality, working, and reusable application code
• Advanced proficiency in modern software development languages and systems
• Expertise in how to build secure, compliant software and minimize risk of vulnerabilities
• Expertise in one or more adjacent specializations like data engineering, Dev Ops, accessibility and comfortable expanding skills, as needed
• Capable of operating with high autonomy in ambiguous environments, identifying high impact work independently, executing on it, and shaping strategic direction beyond a single project
• Proven ability to communicate technical results clearly and effectively to diverse stakeholders, including in politically or strategically sensitive contexts
• Experience working or integrating with legacy systems
• Experience working on large-scale applications and systems
• Experience working in government consulting engagements
• Experience integrating AI with engineering work, with a thoughtful and ethical approach to its application
• Track record of mentoring across levels and disciplines and contributing to organizational or discipline level growth
• Confidence assessing technical candidates and advising on key hiring decisions
• Vision for creating standards for how A1M delivers technical work across engineering, data, and technical product delivery
• Ability to assess technical delivery quality and recognize the signals of poor delivery before issues are created
• Experience contributing to business development, such as proposals or white papers
