SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER

POSITION SUMMARY

We are seeking a Sr. Software Engineer and or Jr. Platform Architect to serve as technical lead responsible for day-to-day development, design, build, and scale of a Veteran-Directed Care (VDC) Financial Management Services (FMS) platform. This platform will support Veterans participating in self-direction programs by streamlining payroll, tax filings, caregiver management, budgeting workflows, and compliance-related tasks. This role reports to the Chief Technology Officer, who maintains final authority over architectural decisions and engineering standards.

The Sr. Software Engineer will guide implementation, potentially coordinate offshore engineers, and ensure delivery of high-quality software aligned with architectural direction.

The platform must simplify self-direction, uphold dignity and independence, and ensure behind-the-scenes administrative accuracy while Veterans and caregivers focus on what matters most. This role is part of a new and growing service line focused on building a Veteran Directed Care Financial Management Services (FMS) platform from the ground up. While the position requires architect level technical thinking and hands on leadership, compensation reflects the realities of a startup stage build within a fully mature enterprise environment.

As the service line grows and the platform scales across states, this role offers significant opportunity for career advancement, increased scope, and expanded leadership responsibility, including progression into Principal Engineer, Platform Architect, or broader technical leadership roles.
