Principal Software Architect
Job Description
<div class="content-intro"><p class="p1"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>About Us</strong></span></p> <p class="p1"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Abacus Insights is transforming how data works for health plans. Our mission is simple: make healthcare data usable, so the people responsible for care and cost decisions can act faster, with confidence.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We help health plans break down data silos to create a single, trusted data foundation. That foundation powers better decisions—so plans can improve outcomes, reduce waste, and deliver better experiences for members and providers alike. Backed by $100M from top investors, we’re tackling big challenges in an industry that’s ready for change. Our platform enables GenAI use cases by delivering clean, connected, and reliable healthcare data to support automation, prioritization, and decision workflows—and it’s why we are leading the way.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Our innovation begins with people. We are bold, curious, and collaborative—because the best ideas come from working together. We embrace the thoughtful use of AI and automation to drive innovation and efficiency, and we look for individuals who are curious and adaptable—those excited to leverage emerging technologies to enhance how we work—while keeping human insight, connection, and our clients at the center of every decision.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Ready to make an impact? Join us and let’s build the future together.</span></p></div><p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>About the Role</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Abacus is scaling fast – more Data Solutions applications, more agent-assisted engineering, more complexity worth getting right. We're creating this role to put a single, senior technical voice at the center of that growth: someone who can take sharp architectural judgment and turn it into standards the whole organization can build on with confidence.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We're looking for an experienced <strong>Principal Software Architect</strong> to set the technical vision for how Abacus builds, secures, and scales its healthcare data platform. This is a senior individual-contributor role, not a management track – you'll be the architecture guru and evangelist for our platform, translating business and customer needs into target-state architectures across data, applications, cloud, and agent-assisted engineering, and mentoring engineers and Solution Architects as you go.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">You'll build the reusable application foundation – design system, application blueprints, integration contracts, and production-readiness gates – that lets Data Solutions applications move fast without reinventing the wheel every time. And as agent-driven development becomes a bigger part of how we ship, you'll be the one turning architecture standards into skills, rules, templates, and evaluation rubrics that let AI-assisted output meet the same bar as our best human-written code – putting you at the center of how Abacus builds software for years to come.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">You'll bring enough depth to guide decisions across data, application, integration, cloud, and agentic development, while staying pragmatic about fit-for-purpose architecture and delivery constraints. You won't do it alone – you'll partner closely with Product Engineering, our Principal Engineering team, AI Engineering, Security, and Client Solutions, bringing architecture to life from concept through production, not just on a whiteboard.</span><
