Principal Solution Software Engineer

Dermsquared is a leading healthcare solutions platform focused on enhancing patient care through innovative educational content. They are seeking a Principal Solution Software Engineer to translate product vision into technical specifications and ensure seamless integration of platform capabilities across medical specialties.

Responsibilities:

• Translate requirements into technical specifications. Partner with product, design, and commercial stakeholders to define the technical approach, assess feasibility, and document specs engineering can execute without ambiguity
• Design integration architectures for new platform capabilities and third-party systems — CRM, event management, marketing automation, CMS, LMS, and data platforms. Ensure every design fits the broader platform, AWS environment, and Snowflake data strategy, and extends across new specialty markets
• Own assigned solutions from design through production. Coordinate engineering teams, vendors, and stakeholders, and enforce a definition of done that covers code review, testing, analytics instrumentation, and documentation
• Lead technical design review. No significant feature or integration enters engineering without a validated prototype and reviewed specification
• Own third-party tool and API integrations across the platform — evaluate, define requirements, and keep them documented and maintainable
• Own the technical documentation layer: architecture diagrams, integration maps, API specs, and operational runbooks
• Provide build-vs-buy assessments for new tools and platform decisions, with evidence-based recommendations to the CTDO

Requirements:

• Demonstrated leadership essentials as described above
• 4-year degree from an accredited academic institution
• 7+ years in solution engineering, technical product management, software architecture, or a senior IC engineering role
• Proven ability to write precise technical specifications engineering can execute without architectural ambiguity — this is core to the role
• Strong experience integrating third-party systems via REST APIs, webhooks, OAuth 2.0, and SAML 2.0 across a modern SaaS stack
• Web application architecture fluency at the level of a senior technical reviewer — ideally Next.js or React with AWS-hosted backend services. You don't need to be the primary developer, but you must assess architectural decisions, review PRs meaningfully, and understand impacts on performance, cost, and data integrity
• Integration and architecture experience with headless Next.js, CMS, LMS, CRM, marketing automation, and event management platforms — not just as a user
• Strong QA, testing, and documentation discipline — runbooks, integration maps, and architecture diagrams are default deliverables
• Comfort working in an AI-assisted development environment (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or equivalent) is expected. We ship through person-agent pairs and you'll help set the standard
• Healthcare or regulated industry experience preferred; familiarity with HCP platforms, pharma compliance, or medical education tech is a differentiator. Experience building integrations that generalize across markets or specialty areas is a plus
