Senior Product Engineer - Platform & Portals

About the Role HiveRx is a production pharmacy operations platform built for regulated compounding environments. It is actively used, actively growing, and actively being extended across pharmacy workflows, integrations, and compliance-heavy operations. This role owns core platform development: the features and systems that power every pharmacy we support. That includes sterile compounding workflows, pharmacy-specific operational needs, insurance and ERP touchpoints, and the platform foundations that will eventually support AI-assisted and agentic workflows. This is not a pure feature-ticket role, and it is not a generic backend role. It requires someone who can understand the business process, the regulatory constraints, the technical architecture, and the long-term platform consequences of what they build.
