YOUR ROLE

We are seeking a skilled and collaborative Senior Software Engineer (Full Stack) to help build and evolve our customer-facing product platform. In this individual contributor role, you will own end-to-end delivery of features across the front end and back end-designing, implementing, testing, deploying, and operating software that is scalable, resilient, secure, and easy to change. You'll work closely with product, design, and engineering partners to translate customer needs into high-quality solutions and deliver improvements that elevate the customer experience.

  • Contribute to and uphold coding standards, architectural patterns, testing strategies, and quality metrics to maintain a high bar for engineering excellence.
  • Drive technical design from problem definition through implementation-writing design docs, participating in design reviews, and performing thorough code reviews to ensure quality and consistency.
  • Build and improve CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows, incorporating DevSecOps practices (automation, security scanning, and safe release patterns).
  • Support hosting, deployment, and runtime operations by improving observability, reliability, and performance (monitoring, alerting, incident response, and capacity planning).

• Deliverables / Results
  • A modernized, production-ready Customer platform supporting both B2B and B2C use cases.
  • Well-documented, maintainable codebases aligned with agreed architectural standards.
  • Consistent, repeatable deployments enabled by standardized CI/CD pipelines.
  • Improved system performance, reliability, and scalability across web and mobile platforms.
  • Strong technical foundations that support future feature development and platform expansion.

• Impact / Value Add
  • Raise engineering quality by delivering well-designed, well-tested solutions and continuously improving patterns, tooling, and practices.
  • Reduce long-term technical debt through thoughtful architecture, pragmatic trade-offs, and disciplined execution.
  • Accelerate delivery by building reliable foundations and reusable components that make feature development faster and safer.
  • Improve customer and partner experiences through reliable, high-quality applications.

• Ownership
  • Own key technical areas of the Customer platform, including architecture, implementation details, and ongoing evolution.
  • Evaluate technology options and trade-offs, propose approaches, and drive implementation in partnership with the team.
  • Take accountability for platform quality, performance, and long-term sustainability.
  • Identify and proactively address technical risks, scalability challenges, and architectural gaps.
• Collaboration
  
  • Partner closely with Product Managers and business stakeholders to translate requirements into robust technical solutions.
  • Collaborate with engineering peers, mobile and web teams, and shared services to ensure architectural alignment.
  • Share knowledge through clear documentation, design discussions, and code reviews that reinforce quality and continuous improvement.
  • Work cross-functionally with security, infrastructure, and operations teams to support platform reliability and compliance.

What you bring

• Perspective
  
  • A systems-level mindset with the ability to balance short-term delivery needs against long-term architectural health.
  • Strong product and business awareness, enabling you to align technical decisions with customer, partner, and organizational goals.
  • An ownership-oriented approach that views platform reliability, scalability, and maintainability as shared, long-term responsibilities.
  • The ability to anticipate technical risks and proactively design solutions before issues surface at scale.

• Qualities
  • Highly capable hands-on engineer who is comfortable working across system design and implementation details.
  • Curious, pragmatic, and outcomes-driven, with a passion for continuous learning and improvement.
  • Clear and confident communicator who can align partners on requirements, trade-offs, and implementation details.
  • Resilient and adaptable in fast-moving environments, with a strong bias toward action and accountability.
  • Collaborative teammate who strengthens team outcomes through constructive feedback, partnership, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
