Remote

Full Time

Orchid Software Solutions

Manager/Supervisor

About Orchid

At Orchid Software Solutions, we are dedicated to transforming the assisted reproduction technology industry through software designed to increase efficiency and transparency in life-changing processes. We are at a pivotal moment, moving from "building fast" to "scaling right" at 10x velocity. We are looking for a Lead Full-Stack Engineer who can serve as the technical anchor for a high-performing remote team.

The Role: AI-Augmented "Player-Coach"

This position reports directly to our CTO. This is not a hands-off management role; you will be deeply embedded in the code while acting as the primary decision-maker for architecture and delivery. We are seeking a "builder" who leverages AI tools to multiply their impact and can defend technical decisions with passion, speed, and absolute clarity.

What You Will Do

Architectural Rigor: Lead the effort to "unblur" the lines between frontend and backend in our Next.js applications, ensuring scalability and a clean separation of concerns.
Technical Modernization: Act as the technical driver for migrating legacy systems (Flask/jQuery) into a modern, robust stack (Next.js/Node/TypeScript).
AI Productization: Design and implement RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) architectures and AI agent workflows to optimize medical and legal processes.
Data layer Ownership: Lead the optimization of complex PostgreSQL/MySQL queries and ensure our infrastructure scales to handle massive growth in clinical and financial records.
Lead by Velocity: Set the "gold standard" for the team by using AI-assisted development tools (Cursor, Copilot, LLMs) to drive unprecedented delivery speed without compromising quality.

Our Product Ecosystem & Technologies

We work across a diverse ecosystem of products spanning FinTech, MedTech, and Medical Documentation (SeedTrust, Veratru, and Gather).

Frontend: Next.js (App Router), React, Tailwind CSS, TypeScript.
Backend & Infra: Node.js, Python, Go (for high-performance services), AWS (Lambda, S3, ECS, RDS).
AI & Data: PostgreSQL (PgVector), MySQL, LangChain, and advanced LLM integrations.

What We’re Looking For

7+ years of experience building and scaling production-grade web applications.
Full-Stack with a Backend/Infra Tilt: While you must master the modern frontend, this role requires deep knowledge in API design, microservices orchestration, and database optimization.
AI-Native Mindset: You already use AI tools daily to accelerate your workflow. You don't see AI as a "plus," but as a fundamental part of your development process.
High-Impact Communication: You can defend architectural trade-offs to the CTO and explain technical debt to the Product Director. We value energy, proactivity, and technical authority.
Startup Grit: You prefer the velocity of a 100-person company and thrive in environments characterized by rapid pivots and high autonomy.

Essential Requirements

Must be located in the United States or LATAM.
Ability to maintain a 6+ hour overlap with US Eastern Time (ET).
Must pass a background check.

Why Orchid?

Real Impact: Your work directly affects outcomes in the fertility and healthcare space.
Ownership: You will have the authority to make architectural decisions that stick.
Remote Culture: We are a fully remote team that values autonomy and clear async communication.

LinkedIn Profile URL:*

Are you currently based in the United States or LATAM?*

Do you have 7+ years of professional experience building and scaling production web applications?*

Have you personally architected and shipped at least one production application using the Next.js App Router (not just the Pages Router)?*

Do you actively use AI coding assistants (e.g., Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or LLMs) in your daily workflow to accelerate delivery?*

Our company values engineers who use technology to multiply their output. Specifically, which AI tools do you use, and how have they changed your approach to coding speed and quality?*

Beyond basic implementations, describe a specific challenge you've faced when architecting Microservices or RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems. How did you handle issues such as vector database optimization (e.g., PgVector), service latency, or LLM hallucinations?*

What is your strict technical strategy for separating server and client boundaries in a large-scale Next.js project to avoid "messy monoliths" and hydration errors? (To ensure this isn't a bot response, please include the word 'Orchid' somewhere in your answer).*

In your opinion, at what point of project complexity do Server Actions become a liability rather than a benefit? Please be specific regarding their impact on testing, reusability, and observability.*

When performing a Code Review for a junior developer, what is the one specific indicator (besides working code) that tells you they are ready for Seniority?*

Please factor in any standard notice periods or existing commitments.*

Please specify your target annual or monthly base salary. Detail if it's annually or monthly.*

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
