About The Position

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to take technical ownership of a core product area. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys designing complex systems, making strong technical decisions, and partnering across teams to deliver secure, reliable software. You’ll shape architecture, guide implementation, and ensure the security, performance, and usability of key services. While an individual contributor role, it has broad impact through technical leadership, mentorship, and cross-team collaboration.

Requirements

• Experience building and operating scalable, customer-facing systems
• Strong skills in Java and modern JavaScript (React); familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
• Experience applying AI/ML in real products (e.g., APIs, prompt design, model integration) and understanding practical limitations
• Ability to guide teams in adopting AI responsibly, balancing innovation with reliability
• Strong system design skills with a focus on performance, reliability, and security
• Solid understanding of secure software development practices
• Ability to evaluate trade-offs across architecture, security, and delivery timelines
• Clear communication skills for both technical and non-technical audiences
• Experience mentoring engineers and contributing to team growth
• ~5+ years of software engineering experience (impact matters more than tenure)
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience
• Experience owning systems or product areas in production

Responsibilities

• Design and evolve complex, customer-facing systems from architecture through production
• Provide technical leadership within your domain, guiding design and implementation decisions
• Partner with engineering, product, and security teams to align solutions with business and customer needs
• Identify and manage technical and security risks, making sound decisions with limited guidance
• Lead design and code reviews to maintain high standards for quality and security
• Drive improvements through code, automation, and architectural changes
• Mentor engineers and help raise the overall technical bar
