Mission

We are seeking a senior software engineer with strong system design instincts and an interest in shaping how systems evolve over time. This is a hands-on role focused on building, maintaining, and improving production software while contributing to technical direction and architectural decisions. You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams to deliver scalable, reliable solutions, with opportunities to take on increasing system-level responsibility as the product and organization grow.

Main Responsibilities

• Mentor junior teammates where appropriate and learn from peers to broaden your technical horizons.

• Proven experience as a senior software engineer (hands-on coding in one or more major languages and ecosystems).

• A demonstrated interest in software architecture and system design; a track record of thinking beyond code to consider structure, scalability, and maintainability.

• A flexible, “utility player” mindset: comfortable working across the stack, embracing new challenges, and quickly adapting to changing priorities.

• Strong problem-solving skills, curiosity, and a bias for action; willingness to take initiative to move projects forward.

• Collaboration and communication skills: ability to articulate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Exhibits a growth-oriented mindset with a drive to broaden system-level influence and progressively lead architectural direction

• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and modern DevOps practices.

• Familiarity with software design patterns, microservices, APIs, and data modeling.
