The Senior Software Engineer owns outcomes, thinks at the system level, and helps set technical direction across Engineering. The role works with the Engineering Manager and Principal Engineer to establish engineering practices, leads a pod technically, contributes to roadmap and scoping discussions with Product, and communicates decisions to technical and non-technical stakeholders. The position is based in Coconut Grove, Florida, and is described as an in-office role with remote-work flexibility.
