Senior Backend Engineer, Pharmacy Integrations

About Bask Health

Bask Health is a software platform that enables entrepreneurs, doctors, and healthcare businesses to launch, manage, and grow direct-to-consumer telehealth businesses.

Our platform brings together patient experiences, clinical workflows, pharmacy operations, and commerce tools in one place.

We're an entrepreneurial, product-focused engineering team that values ownership, technical excellence, and building software that solves real problems. Engineers work closely with product teams and company leadership, take features from idea to production, and have a direct role in shaping the platform.

Engineering at Bask is AI-first and builder-led. We use tools like Cursor and Claude Code throughout development while maintaining high standards for reliability, testing, and software quality.

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer, Pharmacy Integrations to design, build, and maintain the systems connecting Bask Health's telehealth platform with pharmacy partners and fulfillment operations.

You'll work on backend services that support prescription routing, pharmacy order processing, fulfillment updates, and the reliable exchange of information between Bask and external systems.

This role requires strong backend engineering skills and experience building integrations that handle complex workflows, asynchronous events, and third-party dependencies.

Our engineering stack includes TypeScript, Node.js, AWS, SST, and SQL databases. You'll work with serverless infrastructure, APIs, and event-driven systems to build reliable services that can support growing transaction volumes and multiple pharmacy integrations.

You'll collaborate with engineers, product managers, pharmacy operations, and other internal teams to translate operational requirements into scalable technical solutions.

We're looking for someone who can independently own complex integrations, anticipate failure scenarios, and build systems that are observable, maintainable, and resilient.

What You'll Do

• Design, develop, and maintain backend integrations between Bask's platform and pharmacy partners.
• Build services supporting prescription routing, pharmacy order creation, fulfillment processing, and status updates.
• Develop and maintain APIs, webhooks, and other integration mechanisms for exchanging data with external systems.
• Design workflows that reliably handle asynchronous events, retries, timeouts, duplicate messages, and third-party service failures.
• Build and maintain backend applications using TypeScript, Node.js, AWS, SST, and SQL databases.
• Use AWS services such as Lambda, SQS, and EventBridge to support event-driven processing and background workflows.
• Design data models and database schemas for pharmacy orders, fulfillment events, and integration records.
• Implement validation, error handling, and reconciliation processes to maintain data accuracy across systems.
• Build monitoring, logging, alerting, and operational tools to identify and resolve integration failures.
• Improve the reliability and performance of existing pharmacy-related backend services.
• Collaborate with pharmacy operations teams to understand fulfillment workflows, operational constraints, and recurring issues.
• Work with product managers to translate integration requirements into technical specifications and implementation plans.
• Coordinate with external technical partners to understand API specifications, integration behavior, and testing requirements.
• Build secure data exchange workflows with appropriate authentication, authorization, and protection of sensitive information.
• Support the development of internal tools that help teams investigate order issues and monitor integration status.
• Write automated tests covering successful workflows, failure scenarios, and integration edge cases.
• Investigate production incidents, identify root causes, and implement long-term fixes.
• Review code, provide technical guidance, and contribute to backend engineering standards.
• Take ownership of integrations from initial design and development through deployment, monitoring, and ongoing maintenance.
• Use AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor and Claude Code to accelerate engineering work while independently validating correctness, security, and reliability.
• Help establish reusable integration patterns that can support additional pharmacy partners and future platform capabilities.
