About The Position

At Torq, we help clients build intelligent, efficient, and modern software systems. We are looking for Senior and Lead Software Engineers who are still hands-on, love to build, and are excited to architect solutions, mentor teammates, and own delivery from start to finish. If you’re a builder at heart, comfortable with ambiguity, and love working on meaningful projects that make an impact — you’ll fit right in.

Requirements

• 4+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Proven ability to lead the design and implementation of complex systems
• Still hands-on — comfortable writing, reviewing, and debugging code regularly
• Solid knowledge of backend technologies (Python, Java, Node.js, .NET, etc.)
• Familiarity with frontend frameworks (React, Next.js, etc.)
• Experience working in agile, cross-functional environments
• Comfort navigating ambiguity and working on fast-moving projects
• Strong communication and collaboration skills
• Consulting mindset — solutions-focused, adaptable, and client-oriented

Nice To Haves

• Hands-on with AI dev tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude, etc.)
• Rapid prototyping tools (Replit, v0.dev, Bolt, etc.)
• Prior consulting, pre-sales engineering, or client-facing experience
• Designing and scaling distributed systems, real-time or event-driven architectures
• Working with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and containerization tools (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Building and consuming RESTful APIs, GraphQL, or other service architectures
• Infrastructure as code (e.g. Terraform, Pulumi) or DevOps tooling
• Building CI/CD pipelines and automating development workflows
• Test automation frameworks (e.g. Cypress, Playwright, Selenium)
• Open-source contributions or participation in engineering communities

Responsibilities

• Design and build scalable, production-grade software systems — backend APIs, platforms, integrations, services
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business needs into technical solutions
• Rapidly prototype ideas, validate concepts, and iterate quickly
• Use modern development tools (including AI assistants like Copilot or Claude) to improve productivity — when it makes sense
• Own technical architecture decisions and help shape engineering direction
• Write clean, well-tested code, and lead by example in code reviews and design
• Mentor teammates and contribute to a strong engineering culture
• Communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Benefits

• Competitive Salary
• Unlimited PTO
• Best-in-class health/vision/dental benefits
• Generous 401K options
