About The Position

The Senior Engineer is an individual contributor accountable for the technical execution, architectural integrity, and delivery outcomes of a product team operating under the product model. The role partners as an equal with Product Management and Product Design to discover, deliver, and scale solutions that achieve measurable business outcomes. It owns how the product is built across product teams, promoting sustainable engineering practices while maintaining quality, security, reliability, and scalability. The role aligns product architecture with enterprise architecture, evaluates upstream and downstream impacts, and aligns with global standards or influences enterprise practices when deviations are needed. It also ensures cybersecurity practices and applicable industry regulations, including SOX, are followed, with risks surfaced early and managed transparently. The Senior Software Engineer leads end-to-end engineering outcomes, translates product strategy and outcome-based OKRs into technical plans, and guides continuous delivery. The role sets technical direction and architecture, makes pragmatic tradeoffs, and ensures systems are resilient, observable, and secure by default. It works closely with Product Managers and Product Designers in discovery, feasibility assessment, and solution shaping, using data, prototypes, and technical insight to challenge assumptions. The engineer communicates complex technology concepts to business leaders and customers, interprets business strategy into technology solutions, and influences stakeholders without relying on hierarchy. The role mentors and coaches engineers, promotes craftsmanship and systems thinking, and fosters ownership, psychological safety, and accountability. It establishes standards for code quality, test automation, CI/CD, DevOps, security, privacy, and compliance; reduces toil through automation and platform leverage; and manages technical debt. Decision rights include technical design and implementation, engineering prioritization within product objectives, build-versus-buy recommendations, and hiring and performance input for team engineering roles. The position calls for strategic, technology-led enablement of Customer and Commercial functions in a Fast-Moving Consumer Packaged Goods environment, including sales, marketing, customer service, and route-to-market operations. It requires hands-on full-stack engineering and Salesforce platform development expertise, covering modern front-end frameworks, API-driven back ends, cloud infrastructure, and Salesforce Sales, Service, Experience, and custom platform extensions. The role leads technology experimentation from hypothesis and rapid prototyping through production deployment, and is accountable for measurable business outcomes such as revenue growth, cost reduction, cycle-time improvement, customer satisfaction, adoption, and productivity gains.
