Sr Software Engineer

Alpha Consulting Corp. is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to lead the architecture and modernization of cross-platform solutions in the life sciences domain. The role involves overseeing cloud migration strategies, managing CI/CD processes, and mentoring engineering teams.

Responsibilities:

• Own and evolve the cross-platform architecture spanning BRiCare (C++/C# Windows applet, BHFTP transmitter, ASP.NET Proactive portal), BR.io (cloud SaaS, instrument fleet API, data pipeline), and Unity Next (QC engine, LIS/HL7 integration, Unity Connect middleware, peer-comparison analytics)
• Produce and maintain ADRs, HLD/LLD artifacts, and interface contracts — DCC folder layout, BHFTP protocol versioning, Azure AD/MSAL token flows, and LIS connectivity specifications
• Govern security posture: TLS 1.2+ enforcement, secrets rotation via Key Vault, code-signing pipelines, AES-encrypted config management, and zero-PII telemetry compliance across all three platforms
• Represent architecture to IT leadership, product, compliance, and field-service stakeholders; communicate decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Lead BRiCare frontend migration from ASP.NET MVC 5 + AngularJS (80+ components) to React 19 / Vite / Redux Toolkit / MSAL SPA; design new REST APIs in the AZURE Webservices tier
• Own the BRiCare Azure → AWS migration architecture; maintain AzureWebServices-AWS_migration skeleton in sync with every production change until the migration is decided
• Define the BR.io cloud-native evolution roadmap — multi-instrument fleet APIs, data sharing, protocol distribution, and imaging system integration (ChemiDoc Go)
• Drive Unity Next modernization: cloud vs. desktop deployment strategy, LIS/HL7 connectivity hardening, scalable QC peer-analytics pipeline, and CLIA/ISO 15189 audit-trail architecture
• Guide BRiCare Applet architecture: C++ Win32 service host, IMonitoredEntity driver plugin model (Drives Info, Running Processes, System Info, ME Collect), DCC output contract, and AppletSoftwareUpdateManager CAB update pipeline
• Govern cross-module constraints: Remote Client x64/.NET 4.8 and RemoteClient32 x86/.NET 2.0 must remain in parity; every BHFTP change requires coordinated updates in both transmitters
• Own Salesforce ServiceMax integration architecture (ServiceMaxService Node.js + Health Reporter C#) and Unity Connect LIS/middleware specifications for Unity Next
• Formalize CI/CD pipelines for the platform (no Jenkins file or pipeline YAML currently exists); design a multi-solution build matrix for the mixed .NET Framework / Node.js / React codebase
• Govern the SQL Server data model (Proactive, Roles Permissions, Membership, Instrument Data Collection, Logs databases) and drive a platform-wide secrets management strategy to eliminate hardcoded credentials
• Mentor senior engineers across C++, C#, Node.js, and React; enforce coding standards and conduct architecture and code reviews

Requirements:

• 12+ years engineering; 4+ years as Architect or Principal Engineer
• Multi-tier platform experience in life sciences, medical devices, or industrial IoT
• C++/C# Windows services and on-device agent/applet software
• .NET Framework (Web Forms, MVC, Web API, WCF), Node.js Express, React 18/19
• Azure AD / MSAL / JWT bearer auth; Forms Auth and Windows Auth co-existence
• SQL Server: multi-DB schema design, query optimization, stored proc governance
• Custom protocol or binary/text network layer design (analogous to BHFTP over HTTPS)
• Azure cloud architecture (App Service, Azure AD); cloud migration planning
• Security: TLS 1.2+ enforcement, secrets rotation, AES config encryption, code signing
• CI/CD pipeline design for multi-solution .NET and Node.js codebases
• PowerShell deployment automation; IIS configuration and TLS/SSL certificate management
• AngularJS-to-React migration at scale (50+ components)
• AWS architecture (ECS, RDS, Lambda, IAM) as migration target-state designer
• LIS / HL7 / middleware connectivity (Data Innovations, ASTM, FHIR)
• Clinical QC software: Westgard rules, CLIA, ISO 15189, CAP compliance frameworks
• Salesforce ServiceMax or comparable field-service platform integration
• ISL, TeamViewer, or remote-session / remote-desktop platform integration
• WPF / WinForms / VB6 co-existence and legacy code containment strategies
• Dual-binary codebase experience (x64/.NET 4.8 + x86/.NET 2.0)
• Redis; application-level caching and async job queue patterns
• GIS / Sharp Map or similar mapping components in enterprise web apps
• M.S. Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related discipline
