Software Engineer III

Transcarent and Accolade have come together to create the One Place for Health and Care, the leading personalized health and care experience that delivers unmatched choice, quality, and outcomes. Transcarent's AI-powered WayFinding, comprehensive Care Experiences – Cancer Care, Surgery Care, Weight – and Pharmacy Benefits offerings combined with Accolade's health advocacy, expert medical opinion, and primary care, allows us to meet people wherever they are on their health and care journey. Together, more than 20 million people have access to the combined company's offerings.

As a Software Engineer III on the Expert Medical Opinion (EMO) platform, you will help design, build, and operate the technology that connects members with world-class medical experts when they need them most. This is a Prague-based position with a hybrid work model — we expect you to be in the office 2–3 days per week, collaborating with the local Prague team and our colleagues in the US. You'll work on a platform that blends a long-running PHP codebase with a modern Domain-Driven Design layer, deployed on AWS. You'll partner with product managers, internal stakeholders, and your manager to turn complex healthcare requirements into reliable, well-architected software — and have a direct impact on the quality of care our members receive.

What you'll do:

• Understand business requirements and the scope of enhancements, working closely with product and stakeholders
• Design, architect, and plan the delivery of new features and ongoing maintenance with a clear systems-design mindset
• Take ownership of deliverables, hitting timelines without compromising quality
• Write and maintain solid Unit and Functional tests as a standard part of how you ship
• Perform thoughtful code reviews and provide coaching and mentorship to more junior team members
• Use AI coding tools effectively — with a strong focus on architecture, review, and rigorous validation of AI-generated solutions rather than blind acceptance
• Help evolve our existing PHP codebase — layering in DDD, strengthening boundaries, and gradually moving toward a cleaner, service-oriented architecture

What we're looking for:

• Solid experience developing backend web applications with MySQL, alongside server-rendered HTML / CSS / JavaScript
• Strong discipline around automated testing — writing and maintaining Unit and Functional tests is a must, not an afterthought
• Solid grasp of layered architecture and separation of concerns (e.g. Domain-Driven Design, Clean/ Hexagonal architecture) — able to reason about boundaries, dependencies, and where logic belongs
• Experience in Cloud Architecture or a strong systems-design mindset — comfortable reasoning about scalability, reliability, and trade-offs
• Experience working on Enterprise applications — or a strong appetite to dive into a complex business domain (healthcare / medical consultations) and grow into a domain owner over time
• AI-friendly developer — comfortable working alongside AI coding tools, with a focus on architecture and rigorous validation of AI-generated solutions
• Working experience building REST APIs and using Git in a collaborative team setting
• Solid foundation in modern DevOps culture and comfort with Docker-based development workflows
• Skillful communicator who thrives in a collaborative, agile environment and works well with technical and product stakeholders

While working in Transcarent, you will enjoy the following benefits:

• 5 weeks of vacation + personal days
• 1 paid day off for your volunteerism per year
• Stock options
• Home office and flexible working hours
• Cell phone and a plan for unlimited personal use as well
• Sodexo Gastro Pass Card with no contribution
• Flexi Pass Card per month or Multisport Card
• FreshPoint fridge with meals & snacks at 30% discount
• Work from abroad up to 4 weeks a year
• Udemy Business Platform for Hard/Soft skills training
• Virtual hospital service uLekare.cz
• Ginger Emotional Support app
