The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  MedCore Healthcare is hiring a Lead Software Engineer in Durham, NC.

• Role description

  The Lead Software Engineer we hire will help MedCore Healthcare pay down years of technical debt without anyone calling it a rewrite, using Express.js sparingly and well. What you're really weighing is $120,000 - $162,000 against 7 years, with technology ownership and MedCore Healthcare growth tipping the scale.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Prototype rough Jest ideas fast, then decide which earn a place in MedCore Healthcare's stack
  • Profile and refactor legacy code to reduce technical debt over time
  • Decide when to buy Ruby on Rails versus build it for MedCore Healthcare's Durham, NC stack
  • Monitor system health and set up alerting for plainspoken production environments
  • Translate a napkin idea from MedCore Healthcare founders into a Delegation oddball-friendly prototype

  What You'll Bring

  • 8 years of learning when to trust the process and when to break it
  • Resilience measured across 9 years of technology cycles
  • Practical command of Express.js, with bonus points for Work-Life Balance
  • Proven follow-through, measured in shipped things rather than good intentions

  Few people outside NC realize that MedCore Healthcare powers a surprising slice of the technology infrastructure running across Durham, NC today. Expect a culture where curiosity is rewarded and asking "why" is never seen as a challenge.

  You get $120,000 - $162,000, a robust benefits suite, and hands-on mentorship aimed at making you a stronger technology professional.
