Why this grade
This listing scored 58/100, which is a C. It lost the most ground on pay transparency.
- Description depth 20 / 20 How much the posting actually says about the work, measured in characters of real text.
- Freshness 15 / 15 How recently it was posted. Older postings are likelier to be filled or abandoned.
- Remote clarity 15 / 15 Whether "remote" means anywhere, or is quietly restricted to one country.
- Corroboration 5 / 10 Whether more than one source carries this listing.
- Role specificity 3 / 10 Whether the listing is tagged well enough to tell what the role actually is.
- Pay transparency 0 / 25 A published salary range, worth more than any other single factor because it is what a candidate cannot find out without applying.
Every figure above is arithmetic over the posting itself — its salary field, its text, its age, its tags and how many sources carry it. How the grades work →

Pharmacy is hiring engineers to work on event-driven, distributed systems that actually run a real-world business (regulated pharma), not ad tech or yet another CRUD SaaS.
We just filled one Staff Engineer role directly from my last LinkedIn post (thanks to everyone who shared/applied). Now we’re expanding the team:
- 1 Staff Software Engineer
- 4 Senior Software Engineers
- 4 Software Engineers (new grad / early career)
All roles are US-based (remote within the US).
We’re a small team owning the core platforms that run manufacturing, operations, and logistics. A lot of the work is greenfield or foundational: distributed systems, workflow orchestration, reliability/observability, and making it all scale in a domain where correctness actually matters.
Tech stack: Java / Spring Boot, React / Next.js, Azure (Service Bus, Kubernetes), SQL Server. Event-driven, service-oriented architecture at enterprise scale. We use AI-assisted development heavily in the workflow (not as a bolt-on), so if you already lean on tools like Copilot/LLMs, you’ll be at home.
We’re setting up a round-robin “Virtual Interview Day” early next week so we can run both interview rounds in a single day for candidates who advance. The process is straightforward: practical discussions, system design, and code; no brainteasers.
If you:
- like thinking in terms of systems and failure modes,
- are comfortable across the stack (or want to grow there),
- and want your work to have direct impact on how a real business operates,
then I’d like to talk.
