Senior .NET Backend Engineer Consultant (AI-Forward) — Pharmacy Platform

Who We Are Proactive Logic Consulting INC is a boutique technology consulting firm specializing in: • Innovation, zero to one projects • Assessments & Roadmaps • Process Automation and AI • Azure Cloud Migrations • App Modernization (including Low-Code solutions) We bring together top-tier independent consultants—experts in their craft who thrive on flexibility and autonomy. Our consultants have a customer-obsessed mindset, high EQ, and deep technical skills. We're entrepreneurial at heart and fully support consultants who are building their own products on the side. What We're Looking For We need a Senior .NET Backend Engineer Consultant (AI-Forward) to build the APIs at the center of a pharmacy platform. Prescriptions, orders, claims and patient medication data all pass through the services you'll own. You understand pharmacy workflows well enough to know why a controlled-substance refill, a transfer and a prior-auth denial each need different handling. This is a corp-to-corp, 1099 engagement for an independent consultant who works autonomously and uses AI tools daily to multiply their impact.

Optional (helps us fast-track you): answer in 1–2 sentences each. • What has to be true before a pharmacy can fill a faxed Schedule II prescription? • A claim rejects, then a corrected claim is submitted.
