[Hiring] Software Engineer IV & Tech Lead @Virtual Benefits Administrator

Role Description

Build the systems that power healthcare — and make them smarter. Healthcare tech isn’t flashy, but the problems are complex, high-stakes, and worth solving. At VBA, we’re taking that complexity and turning it into intelligent, scalable systems that adapt, automate, and improve how healthcare works.

You’ll work on the core platform that powers multiple enterprise SaaS applications — building the APIs, services, and data systems that everything else depends on. This is not a ticket factory role. You’ll design and build scalable systems, solve meaningful technical problems, and contribute to the architecture of a platform used by major healthcare organizations.

Day-to-day, that looks like:

• Build APIs, backend services, and data-driven functionality
• Own work from design → development → release → iteration
• Partner with Product, QA, and Tech Leads to deliver aligned outcomes
• Contribute to system design and technical discussions within your team
• Write clean, maintainable, production-ready code
• Support strong engineering practices (code reviews, testing, documentation, release readiness)

This role is grounded in execution, ownership, and collaboration — not siloed development.

Qualifications

• 8–12+ years building production software on modern web or SaaS platforms
• Expert-level C# / .NET — you've built real backend services and APIs, not just tutorials
• Proven technical leadership — you've guided engineers, improved code quality, and made teams better
• Strong API design chops — RESTful APIs that power real applications and integrations, not toy projects
• Deep relational database experience — schema design and shipping database changes as part of feature work
• CI/CD, observability, modern deployment practices — you've worked with platform/DevOps teams and understand the full delivery pipeline
• End-to-end ownership — you can take a feature from UI to API to database and ship it production-ready

Requirements

• Experience with distributed or event-driven systems
• Exposure to AI or automation-driven features
• Contributions to improving team processes or tooling
• Informal mentorship or onboarding support

Benefits

• Remote/Hybrid Schedules (depending on job role)
• 12 Paid Holidays
• Responsible Time Off
• Volunteerism Day
• Paid Parental Leave: 2 Weeks Bonding Leave, 10 Weeks Supplemental Medical Leave (for Birthing Parents Only)
• Life insurance - $500,000 guaranteed issue
• Short- and long-term disability insurance
• Employer match on employee 401(k) contributions
• Broadband Reimbursement up to $120
• Health Insurance (2-Medical Plan Options)
• Dental and vision coverage also subsidized by VBA
• Employee Assistance Program
