About this role.
Qventus is hiring a Senior Software Engineer to serve as technical lead for its Web Applications Platform team, which provides shared services and delivery foundations for healthcare applications. The role focuses on authentication and authorization, configuration, Kubernetes-based deployment, GitOps, and secure isolated hospital environments. The engineer will set technical direction, shape the platform roadmap with stakeholders, and lead cross-team architectural initiatives while remaining hands-on. The role also establishes standards and guardrails for AI coding tools in a security- and compliance-sensitive healthcare setting. Strong Python, Django, FastAPI, Kubernetes, Helm, ArgoCD, and platform engineering experience are central to success.

Sample interview questions
I would define a centralized identity model with clear tenant boundaries, standards-based authentication such as OIDC, and policy-driven authorization. I would ensure auditability, least-privilege access, secure secret handling, and operational controls appropriate for PHI/PII environments, while providing well-documented SDKs or service interfaces for application teams.
I would first map the current developer workflow, deployment risks, approval points, and operational failure modes. I would standardize reusable Helm charts and environment configuration, use ArgoCD for declarative reconciliation and drift detection, introduce progressive delivery where appropriate, and add clear observability, rollback procedures, and self-service documentation.
I start by clarifying constraints, user needs, security requirements, and measurable outcomes. I use lightweight RFCs to invite early input, document tradeoffs and decisions, and establish platform interfaces that give teams autonomy within safe standards. Regular feedback loops and adoption metrics help validate whether the architecture is reducing friction.
I would restrict agent access according to least privilege, prevent exposure of sensitive production data and secrets, and require code review and automated security checks for generated changes. I would also define approved contexts and knowledge sources, maintain audit logs, evaluate agent performance against representative tasks, and establish clear policies for data retention and acceptable use.
I would prioritize using a transparent framework that weighs customer impact, security and compliance risk, reliability risk, engineering leverage, and delivery effort. Critical reliability or security work would receive immediate attention, while high-leverage developer experience initiatives would be sequenced with measurable adoption and productivity goals. I would communicate tradeoffs, dependencies, and expected outcomes regularly to stakeholders.

About the Role
We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to be the technical lead of our Web Applications Platform team. This team builds the foundation under every application at Qventus. They own all shared services, including authentication/identity and configuration. The platform team also owns the build and deployment path that carries code into each hospital customer’s isolated environment.
Platform’s customers are other engineering teams, so the work is measured by how efficiently and safely they can create and then grow our applications.
You’ll be the technical lead of a team composed of several other engineers. That means setting technical direction, owning the roadmap in collaboration with stakeholders, and writing code or configurations as needed. Your highest-leverage work will be cross-team efforts to make great architectural choices that impact a half dozen applications. This role reports to an engineering manager, who is responsible for team health and career growth.
This role is also central to defining how engineering benefits from AI coding tools: the standards, the context that makes agents genuinely useful, and the guardrails that keep our codebase and deployed apps secure and compliant.
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years building and operating production software
- Experience on a platform, infrastructure, internal tools, or developer-facing team
- Strong Python, Django, and FastAPI skills
- Real depth in Kubernetes and GitOps delivery (Helm, ArgoCD)
- Experience owning an authentication / authorization system
- Excellent project management skills: breaking down, estimating, sequencing, and communicating about work in progress
- Clear written and verbal communication; influential beyond one team
Bonus Points For
- Multi-tenant SaaS experience
- Backstage, internal developer portals, or service scaffolding tooling
- Healthcare tech knowledge: HIPAA, PHI/PII, Epic and Cerner integrations, SMART on FHIR
- Terraform, Jenkins, Datadog and/or APM in general
- Built or rolled out agent-based dev tooling: MCP servers, coding agents, matrixed evals, spec-driven workflows, shared knowledge bases
Compensation for this role is based on market data and takes into account a variety of factors, including location, skills, qualifications, and prior relevant experience. Salary is just one part of the total rewards package at Qventus. We also offer a range of benefits and perks, including Open Paid Time Off, paid parental leave, professional development, wellness and technology stipends, a generous employee referral bonus, and employee stock option awards.
Salary Range
$180,000—$200,000 USD
