Passionate about precision medicine and advancing the healthcare industry?
Recent advancements in underlying technology have finally made it possible for AI to impact clinical care in a meaningful way. Tempus' proprietary platform connects an entire ecosystem of real-world evidence to deliver real-time, actionable insights to physicians, providing critical information about the right treatments for the right patients, at the right time.
Senior Software Engineer (Platform Engineering)-Remote, USA
Purpose:
The Senior Software Engineer is a hands-on technical leader responsible for architecting and delivering the Java-based services at the core of Ambry's platform modernization. This role ensures technology execution stays aligned with strategic business goals, owning the design and build of Spring Boot microservices that replace legacy monolith functionality. The position drives legacy system refactoring, cloud migration, microservices adoption, and CI/CD maturity across the engineering organization. It safeguards architectural coherence, actively mitigates technical debt, and provides the senior technical judgment needed to keep major initiatives on schedule and operationally sound.
Essential Functions:
- Own the end-to-end architecture, design, and implementation of Java and Spring Boot microservices across the platform.
- Define and evangelize target-state architecture, service boundaries, and upgrade paths, and document them for engineering and stakeholder audiences.
- Lead the decomposition of legacy PHP/Symfony monolith functionality into resilient, independently deployable Java services.
- Design and build AWS-native solutions using ECS/Fargate, SQS, SNS, S3, Lambda, API Gateway, and Parameter Store.
- Build and maintain secure REST APIs with robust validation, error handling, authentication, and authorization.
- Drive identity modernization, including OAuth2/OIDC and the LDAP-to-Okta migration.
- Design and optimize data access layers using JPA/Hibernate, including ORM mappings, schema evolution, index strategy, and query tuning.
- Establish engineering standards for unit and integration testing, CI/CD pipelines, observability, logging, and alerting.
- Partner with QA, DevOps, Product, Architecture, and Regulatory teams to deliver compliant, production-ready software.
- Mentor engineers across levels through code review, design review, and knowledge sharing.
- Lead technical planning and execution of complex, multi-sprint initiatives, and surface delivery risk early.
- Troubleshoot and resolve production issues affecting service performance, stability, and reliability.
- Maintain awareness of and compliance with SOX and HIPAA requirements in a regulated healthcare environment.
- Other duties as assigned.
Qualifications:
- 10+ years of professional software engineering experience with a strong backend focus.
- Expert-level proficiency in Java and Spring Boot, with deep experience in distributed systems.
- Demonstrated experience decomposing monolithic applications into microservices.
- Hands-on experience with AWS services (ECS/Fargate, SQS, SNS, S3, Lambda, API Gateway, IAM).
- Strong command of REST API design, authentication and authorization patterns, and enterprise integration.
- Strong experience with relational databases (MySQL/Aurora) and ORM frameworks such as Hibernate/JPA, including query tuning.
- Proficiency with Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud-native delivery practices.
- Proven ability to lead technical direction and mentor engineers across levels.

About Us
Tempus was founded in August of 2015 by Eric Lefkofsky, after his wife was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Shortly after he founded the company in an effort to bring the power of technology and artificial intelligence to cancer care, he convinced Ryan Fukushima to join as the company’s first employee. Ryan and Eric began assembling a world class team, focused on building the first version of a platform capable of ingesting real time healthcare data in an effort to personalize diagnostics.
We built the platform for oncology and have expanded it to neuropsychiatry, cardiology, infectious disease (through COVID), and radiology. Despite our rapid growth, our mission remains the same—to help make sure patients are on the right drug at the right time, so they can live longer and healthier lives.
Why Work Here?

Tips for Your Remote Engineering Senior Manager Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote engineering senior manager openings from across the U.S. in one place. You can find roles that match your background and apply directly without sorting through non-remote listings. Early applicants consistently get more traction before a posting fills.
Signal async leadership in your materials
Remote hiring managers look for evidence you can lead without proximity. Rewrite your resume bullets to show outcomes you drove across distributed teams, written RFCs or architecture decisions you owned, and processes you put in place to keep remote engineers aligned and unblocked.
Build a visible async communication record
Remote engineering senior managers are evaluated heavily on written communication. Posting technical leadership content, contributing to public engineering discussions, or maintaining a concise leadership blog gives hiring teams concrete evidence of how you think and communicate without being in the room.
Prepare for the distributed leadership interview
Remote interviews for senior engineering management routinely include scenarios about running distributed teams: how you handle misalignment across time zones, how you run effective async standups, and how you keep remote engineers engaged. Prepare specific examples using Notion, Loom, Confluence, or Linear as your supporting context.
Remote Engineering Senior Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote engineering senior manager job?
Target companies that already run distributed engineering teams, since they have the processes in place for remote leadership to function. Remote employers screen for written communication clarity, async decision-making, and the ability to drive accountability without in-person oversight. Demonstrating a history of shipping results across distributed reports, using tools like Jira, Confluence, or Linear, and showing comfort with documented engineering processes gives you a clear edge over candidates with only in-office leadership experience.
Which companies hire remote engineering senior managers?
Companies hiring remote engineering senior managers right now include CVS Health, Lockheed Martin, and Optum, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Remote-first software companies and distributed fintech and cloud infrastructure teams are among the most consistent hirers of engineering senior managers in fully remote configurations.
Can you get a remote engineering senior manager job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry into senior management is harder because you're expected to lead independently from day one without informal office mentorship. Entry paths include stepping up within a remote-first company where you already have visibility, contributing to open-source projects that demonstrate technical leadership, and targeting early-stage startups where the role scope is defined around your strengths rather than a rigid seniority ladder. Showing documented ownership of engineering decisions matters more than a long tenure.
Do you need a degree for remote engineering senior manager jobs?
Not always. Remote employers for this role weigh demonstrated engineering leadership, a history of team delivery, and technical depth more heavily than a specific credential. Candidates who can show shipped products, team growth, and cross-functional influence through a portfolio or documented case studies regularly compete effectively with degree holders. Some employers, particularly in government-adjacent or regulated sectors, still list a degree as required, so it depends on the specific posting.
Which industries hire the most remote engineering senior managers?
The sectors hiring the most remote engineering senior managers are Technology & Software, Insurance, and Consulting & Professional Services, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. These sectors have broadly adopted distributed team structures, making remote engineering leadership a standard operating model rather than an exception.
