Job Details
Principal Software Developer - SafeTrace Tx® Platform | Haemonetics Hospital Solutions
We are seeking a Principal Software Developer to drive the technical direction of SafeTrace Tx®, our industry-leading transfusion management software trusted by hundreds of hospitals to deliver complete testing and transfusion histories in a single, consolidated patient record. In this role, you will be a cornerstone of a high-performing engineering team responsible for building and evolving the safety-critical workflows that blood bank professionals rely on daily - from specimen testing and cross-matching to bedside transfusion verification. You will shape architectural decisions for a platform where data integrity, patient safety, and seamless continuity of care across multi-facility hospital networks are non-negotiable.
As a principal-level contributor, you will lead the design of scalable integrations with hospital information systems such as Epic, applying service-oriented and event-driven architecture principles to ensure reliable, real-time communication from the blood bank to the bedside. You will guide the team in building secure, well-governed REST APIs, establishing scalable architecture that support multi-facility data exchange, and upholding the rigorous compliance standards. If you are energized by the challenge of building distributed, event-driven systems where uptime and data integrity are genuinely life-critical, this is a rare opportunity to shape both the technology and the team at Haemonetics.
