About The Position

Join a world-class engineering organization building the cloud platform that powers millions of connected devices across Security, Comfort, Air, and Water solutions. In this role as a Senior Advanced Software Engineer, you will operate as a technical owner for complex initiatives, leading small groups of engineers (2-3 developers) and driving delivery across multiple system layers, from device integration through cloud services and application consumption. This role blends hands-on engineering, technical leadership, and end-to-end ownership, with a strong emphasis on clear technical thinking, concise documentation, and disciplined software practices.

Requirements

7+ years of experience building and operating production-grade cloud systems, with deep expertise in C#/.NET, distributed systems, concurrency, and scalable service design
Proven experience leading technical initiatives and guiding other engineers through delivery
Professional experience with event-driven architectures and Azure messaging services (Event Hubs, Service Bus, IoT Hub, etc.)
Professional experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing strategies, and frequent, reliable deployments
Experience running containerized workloads using Docker and Kubernetes, with working knowledge of SQL and NoSQL data stores (PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Cosmos DB, Redis, etc.)

Nice To Haves

Ability to navigate ambiguity, make sound technical decisions, and maintain momentum in a fast-moving environment
Experience building connected-device or IoT platforms at scale
Demonstrated ability to lead small teams without formal people management responsibilities
Strong written communication skills and a bias toward clear, minimal, and actionable documentation
Comfort working across organizational boundaries and influencing without authority
Experience with performance tuning, throughput optimization, and distributed system debugging
A mindset of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement

Responsibilities

Technical Leadership & Initiative Ownership
Own medium-to-large initiatives end-to-end, from early requirement discovery through design, implementation, rollout, and production hardening
Lead and guide a small pod of 2-3 developers, providing technical direction, task breakdown, and delivery accountability
Balance hands-on development with leadership responsibilities, remaining deeply involved in critical code paths and design decisions
Drive alignment across teams (Product, Firmware, Mobile, QA, SRE, DevOps, Partner teams) to deliver cohesive, cross-layer integrations.
Architecture & System Design
Design and evolve backend services using C#/.NET on Azure within a highly distributed, event-driven architecture
Define clear service contracts using OpenAPI, JSON Schema, and contract-first design principles
Architect and implement event-driven workflows using Event Hubs, Service Bus, IoT Hub, Event Grid, and internal messaging pipelines
Make pragmatic architectural decisions that balance scalability, reliability, delivery timelines, and long-term maintainability
Requirements & Documentation
Lead technical requirement discovery in collaboration with Product and partner teams, translating ambiguous inputs into clear technical designs
Produce concise, high-quality documentation (RFCs, design docs, sequence diagrams, operational notes) that enables fast, confident execution
Establish and enforce clear ownership boundaries, contracts, and integration expectations across systems and teams
Reliability, Automation & Quality
Champion strong software engineering practices: automated testing, CI/CD, safe deployments, and progressive rollouts
Drive improvements in observability, resilience, and operational readiness using metrics, logging, tracing, and alerting
Lead performance analysis and capacity planning for high-throughput device telemetry and fan-out workloads
Participate in incident investigations and ensure learnings translate into durable fixes and platform improvements
Platform & Operational Ownership
Take ownership for features in production, including on-call participation, root-cause analysis, and long-term remediation
Proactively identify platform gaps and propose initiatives to improve scalability, reliability, developer experience, or cost efficiency
Act as a technical point of contact for complex integrations spanning multiple services and teams
