Own caching infrastructure: Design, implement, and maintain caching architecture using Valkey/Redis (ElastiCache) for high-throughput healthcare applications processing millions of transactions per day.
Build shared libraries: Develop and evolve caching libraries and patterns used across multiple engineering teams, establishing best practices for cache key design, invalidation strategies, and performance monitoring.
Partner with engineering teams: Work directly with product teams to design and implement caching solutions tailored to their specific use cases, providing technical guidance and hands-on support during implementation.
Drive performance optimization: Conduct deep performance analysis using profiling tools to identify bottlenecks beyond caching—database queries, application code, infrastructure—and deliver measurable improvements.
Establish performance standards: Define performance benchmarks, implement monitoring and alerting, and help teams measure the impact of optimizations through data-driven analysis.
Contribute to observability: Enhance observability infrastructure (LGTM stack) to track cache hit rates, latency patterns, and system performance metrics across the platform.
Demonstrate technical leadership: Mentor engineers on performance best practices, lead architecture reviews, and represent the Scalability team in cross-functional planning discussions.
Responsible for adherence to the Capital Rx Code of Conduct, including reporting of noncompliance.

Requirements

10+ years of software engineering experience with demonstrated progression into technical leadership roles.
3+ years of experience leading technical initiatives, mentoring engineers, or serving as a subject matter expert on complex systems.
Strong expertise in Python (Flask/SQLAlchemy) for production applications.
Deep PostgreSQL knowledge: Advanced query optimization, indexing strategies, triggered, stored procedures, plan analysis, and experience with replication and clustering.
Production caching experience: Proven track record designing and implementing caching strategies at scale using Redis, Valkey, Memcached, or similar technologies.
Performance optimization expertise: Demonstrated ability to profile applications, identify bottlenecks, and deliver measurable performance improvements (latency reduction, throughput gains, cost savings).
AWS experience: Production experience with Aurora RDS, Lambda, ElastiCache, EC2, ECS, and S3.
Systems thinking: Ability to analyze performance across the full stack — application, database, caching, infrastructure — and make architectural tradeoffs.
Strong written and verbal communication skills with ability to work autonomously while driving proactive collaboration in a remote environment.
