Senior Software Engineer

About the Company: LightSpun is a rapidly growing SaaS company revolutionizing healthcare administration in the dental, vision, and accident insurance domains. We offer a comprehensive, end-to-end platform for providers and payers, aiming to empower our clients with cutting-edge technology for exceptional service and operational efficiency. Our work involves building AI-first scalable services for healthcare administration tasks such as credentialing, onboarding, and managing brokers, providers, members, and claims.

About the Role: We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to design and build core services on our platform. You will own features end-to-end — from design through production operation — across domains like claims adjudication, credentialing, and provider data. You'll work in a remote-first environment, collaborating with product, design, and engineering teammates across the US and our Bengaluru engineering hub, and you'll help drive our adoption of microservices and agentic-AI architectures.

Responsibilities:

• End-to-End Ownership: Design, implement, test, deploy, and operate services and features on our platform, from technical design docs through production monitoring.
• Technical Quality: Write clean, well-tested, maintainable code. Raise the bar through thoughtful code reviews and by improving the systems and tooling around you.
• Architecture Contribution: Contribute to design decisions on scalability, reliability, and maintainability across our microservices. Help ensure platform security and compliance with industry standards (e.g., HITRUST, SOC 2, HIPAA).
• AI-First Development: Build and integrate agentic-AI capabilities into production workflows, with appropriate guardrails for a regulated healthcare environment.
• Collaboration & Mentorship: Work closely with product management, QA, and cross-time-zone engineering teams. Mentor earlier-career engineers through reviews and pairing.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years of professional software development experience, preferably in a SaaS environment.
• Hands-on experience designing, building, and operating distributed systems and microservices in production.
• Strong proficiency in Python. Experience in Golang is a plus.
• Experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and containerization/orchestration technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
• Experience with Agentic AI frameworks and building systems for compliance is a strong plus.
• Experience developing data crawlers or high-volume data ingestion pipelines is a plus.
• Experience in the insurance or healthcare industry is a plus.
• Strong written communication skills — comfortable working async in a remote, cross-time-zone team.
• Authorized to work in the United States.

Equal Opportunity Statement: LightSpun is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusivity. We encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds and experiences.
