Software Engineer, Applications at Centralreach — Remote

CentralReach's Applications team is a cross-functional group that rapidly builds, validates, and scales new product capabilities. The Software Engineer, Applications is a hands-on builder who helps shape the product — working from design through evaluation to production and partnering closely with product builders, Product Organization leaders, and subject matter experts to turn customer problems into reliable features.

This role spans the full lifecycle, from early prototypes through production hardening and scale, and treats modern AI-assisted development tooling (Claude Code, Cursor, agentic coding workflows) as a force multiplier, not a replacement for engineering judgment. The ideal candidate is a natural collaborator and problem solver with high curiosity who thrives in a data-driven environment.

Key Accountabilities

Technical Leadership & Engineering Excellence

• Shape the product hands-on — partner with Product to define what to build, then design and deliver it within the Product Organization while setting standards for code quality, architecture, and delivery
• Lead by doing: design and implement core application components, critical services, and integration layers
• Establish quality thresholds and release criteria (correctness, latency, reliability, cost, and user trust)
• Define and champion best practices for AI-assisted development: prompt and context strategies for coding agents, code review standards for AI-generated code, and guardrails that keep velocity high without sacrificing quality or security

Rapid Application Development (Hands-On)

• Build product capabilities end-to-end (service + workflow integration + instrumentation) using Python, Next.js, and modern backend patterns
• Use agentic coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) daily to accelerate prototyping, refactoring, test generation, and documentation
• Build and maintain shared libraries, components, and service templates that standardize application development across teams
• Develop internal tooling, scripts, and agent workflows that improve developer experience and automate repetitive engineering tasks
• Own technical readiness for production: reliability, observability, performance tuning, and incident response preparedness
• Collaborate with Platform Engineering and DevOps to ensure CI/CD and environment consistency, scaling strategies, cost controls, secrets management, and secure data handling

Cross-Functional Delivery & Integration

• Partner tightly with product builders and workflow owners to translate validated prototypes into production implementations
