You'll also contribute to broader initiatives in Pharmacy Modernization, aligning with organizational goals to leverage emerging AI technologies for reducing manual work, accelerating delivery, and improving Net Promoter Score (NPS).

You'll enjoy the flexibility to work remotely * from anywhere within the U.S. as you take on some tough challenges. For all hires in the Minneapolis or Washington, D.C. area, you will be required to work in the office a minimum of four days per week.

  • Ensure code quality and security by identifying and resolving vulnerabilities
  • Maintain solid programming practices with a focus on Python
  • Work Eastern Time Zone hours to support collaboration across a global team
  • Participate in on-call rotations as scheduled
