Sr. Software Engineer

About the role

You will drive critical product experiences and platform evolution as a strategic advisor to stakeholders.

Software engineers turn product ideas into working code. Engineers work in small teams, review each other's work, and ship in small batches. Most teams follow agile practices such as sprints and daily standups. Engineers also write tests, fix bugs, and improve performance. The field values clear communication as much as technical skill. Engineers spend part of every week on planning, code review, and debugging, not just writing new code. The ability to explain a technical decision in plain words separates strong engineers from the rest.

Key facts

What you'll do

Ownership of complex, ambiguous features is executed through small, independently shippable increments to deliver clear customer and system impact. Production-ready code and risk-based testing approaches are defined to support safe rollout patterns that reduce deployment risk. Rapid response to production incidents is provided, with follow-up improvements that prevent recurrence. Actionable code reviews, accurate documentation, and direct input shape technical discussions and planning to help teammates make better decisions. Context is created through clear commit messages, notes, and documentation so teammates can understand decisions without verbal handoffs.

Requirements

You must bring 5+ years of experience as a Software Engineer with a track record of delivering customer-facing SaaS product features in production. Ambiguous work is broken into small, deliverable increments and moved forward independently despite uncertainty. Backend proficiency is demonstrated in one or more of Go, Java, Python, or C++. Scalable web architecture, API design, and performance optimization are deeply understood. Cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP are used, along with SQL and NoSQL databases. Unit, integration, and end-to-end tests are designed and written with a clear sense of when and how to apply each. Safe deployment and rollout patterns, including feature flags and canary releases, are implemented. AI tools are actively used as part of your software development workflow. Strong communication, collaboration, and cross-functional partnership skills are applied consistently. A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience is required.

Nice to have

You improve team-level tooling, processes, or developer workflows beyond your immediate feature work. You mentor or level up engineers through code review or technical documentation. You contribute to shared platform capabilities used across multiple product areas.

Practical notes

Accommodations are available for applicants with mental and/or physical disabilities upon request. Typical interview steps

Hiring for engineering roles usually starts with a recruiter screen, followed by one or two technical rounds. Candidates often solve a coding problem, discuss past projects, and answer system design questions. Some loops include a take-home task. Final rounds typically cover team fit and give candidates a chance to ask questions. Interviewers look for how you break down an unfamiliar problem, not just whether you reach the answer. Practicing a few problems aloud and reviewing your own past projects are the best preparation.

Good to know

The role requires ownership of complex problems and shaping solutions without waiting for direction. Successful candidates operate as strategic advisors that influence stakeholders and elevate team practices. General software engineering practices apply to building, testing, and deploying reliable software in production environments.

Career growth

Engineering careers usually progress from individual contributor to senior, staff, and principal levels. Some engineers move into management and lead teams of five to twenty people. Others stay on the technical track. Growth follows demonstrated impact, not tenure alone. A typical engineering ladder has clear levels with defined expectations for scope, quality, and mentorship. Moving up usually requires owning outcomes end to end rather than completing assigned tickets.
