About The Position

The Senior Software Engineer performs solution design and software architecture for distributed systems, including scalability, design patterns, disaster recovery, technology stacks, minimum viable products, non-functional requirements, and telemetry.

The role performs requirements and scoping analysis, assesses gaps between customer or business expectations and existing solutions, classifies requirements, anticipates and communicates risks, and contributes to user stories. It reviews and applies coding standards, languages, frameworks, tools, platforms, and quality, safety, and security standards. The engineer selects suitable development languages and tools, writes code and automation scripts for CI/CD and other processes, implements telemetry, and applies security policies.

The role plans and performs testing, maps customer requirements to test objectives, creates and executes test cases, analyzes and tracks defects, performs regression testing, and uses lessons from prior defects to help prevent recurrence. It also troubleshoots application performance and availability bottlenecks and ensures project work adheres to approved milestones and timelines.
