Why This Role Is Important to Arcadia

Arcadia’s mission is to improve healthcare outcomes through better data and smarter technology. A critical pillar of this mission is the User Management system, which governs authentication, authorization, and user provisioning across all Arcadia’s applications.

We’re looking for a Principal Software Engineer to take technical ownership of this area—leading the rearchitecture and implementation of a robust, scalable, and secure access control framework. By the time you join, the team will have completed key architectural planning decisions; your focus will be on translating that architecture into reality.

Beyond the core platform work, this role will drive adoption of AI-augmented engineering practices across the team—bringing modern agentic development approaches that raise the standard for how we build software.
