About the RoleHiveRx is a production pharmacy operations platform built for regulated compounding environments. It is actively used, actively growing, and actively being extended across pharmacy workflows, integrations, and compliance-heavy operations.
This role owns core platform development: the features and systems that power every pharmacy we support. That includes sterile compounding workflows, pharmacy-specific operational needs, insurance and ERP touchpoints, and the platform foundations that will eventually support AI-assisted and agentic workflows.
This is not a pure feature-ticket role, and it is not a generic backend role. It requires someone who can understand the business process, the regulatory constraints, the technical architecture, and the long-term platform consequences of what they build.
Job Activities and Responsibilities: The responsibilities listed below are subject to change.Product Engineering- Contribute to both core HiveRx platform work and patient/prescriber portal development
- Build full-stack features across Laravel, Vue, Inertia, Tailwind, and the existing platform architecture
- Help prevent platform and portal tracks from stalling due to single-person dependency
- Maintain architectural consistency across internal and external product surfaces
- Participate in QA, release planning, and post-release validation across multiple product areas
Feature Specification & Research- Translate business needs, portal concepts, and regulatory requirements into clear implementation plans
- Research workflows, compliance constraints, integration behavior, and user experience requirements
- Improve technical specifications when work needs more structure before implementation
- Identify gaps in handoffs, acceptance criteria, dependencies, or release planning
- Work directly with stakeholders to clarify requirements without turning every ambiguity into a meeting
Product & Platform Ownership- Support platform features involving pharmacy workflows, compliance-heavy operations, ERP-adjacent needs, and business-system integration
- Build patient and prescriber portal workflows that are polished, secure, and operationally correct
- Understand how internal workflow changes affect external users, data, reporting, and operational queues
- Contribute to technical, user-facing, and compliance-relevant documentation
- Keep product momentum high without introducing long-term complexity
- Other duties as assigned
Qualifications and Education Requirements: - High school diploma or GED required.
- Minimum of 5-8 years of experience in software engineering, product engineering, or a related technical role.
- Demonstrated experience designing, developing, testing, and maintaining scalable software applications.
- Proven ability to lead technical initiatives, solve complex engineering challenges, and deliver high-quality solutions.
- Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams in an Agile or similar development environment.
- Strong proficiency in the programming languages, frameworks, and technologies required for the role.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field is preferred.
Required Skills:Technical- Strong command of PHP and Laravel; you can read, debug, and write production code in a real codebase
- Comfortable with Vue 3, Inertia.js, Tailwind CSS, and Vite-based frontend tooling
- Able to move between backend services, frontend workflows, database state, integrations, and release validation
- Integration experience is useful; ERP or NetSuite experience is a plus
- Able to work within an established architecture without needing to rebuild it
Domain- Experience working in or building software for regulated industries, preferably healthcare
- Understanding of compliance considerations that affect software design: audit trails, data integrity, access control, PHI, and change documentation
- Familiarity with pharmacy, compounding, dispensing, ERP, or adjacent workflows is a meaningful plus
- Understands that external portal behavior and internal operational workflow must stay aligned
AI & Tooling- Comfortable using AI tools as a productivity layer for research, code review, implementation support, and documentation
- Able to critically evaluate AI-generated code and documentation before relying on it
- Understands where AI output requires extra scrutiny: edge cases, regulatory logic, data handling, integration, boundaries, and cross-workflow behavior
Writing & Communication- Strong technical writer; your specs require minimal clarification
- Able to communicate clearly with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders
- Detail-oriented without being slow; you know when work is ready to build
- Comfortable explaining tradeoffs across platform, portal, UX, compliance, and delivery constraints
Mindset- Senior ownership mentality with strong execution range
- Comfortable context-switching without dropping quality
- Practical and disciplined; you know when to build, when to clarify, and when to push back
- Not looking for a role with clean lines; this role has overlap by design and requires someone who can context-switch without losing quality
