Senior Software Engineer

Position Summary The role plays a critical part in advancing Morgan Properties’ technology capabilities by delivering high-quality, production-ready full-stack software across the enterprise. This includes end-to-end ownership of features spanning cloud-based REST APIs, complex SQL development and performance tuning, and production-grade React applications supporting data-intensive workflows. The role directly supports strategic initiatives by building scalable systems and optimizing performance across the full stack, with strong emphasis on database efficiency, query governance, and system reliability. Responsibilities include diagnosing production issues, analyzing execution plans, identifying indexing and performance improvements, and ensuring data consistency across services and downstream processes. In addition, the role contributes to architectural design discussions, surfaces scalability and integration risks early, and supports observability standards to improve system transparency and operational stability. The ideal candidate operates with strong technical rigor, ownership, and cross-functional collaboration across engineering, data, and product teams to deliver reliable, high-performance systems. Essential Duties Backend API Development Design, build, and maintain REST API services deployed on Public Cloud Infrastructure, handling high-concurrency request patterns, enforcing consistent error contracts, and ensuring response SLAs are measurable and met. Author complex SQL queries against pre-aggregated analytical tables and partitioned view layers, including multi-level JOINs, window functions, dynamic filtering, OFFSET/FETCH pagination, and conditional aggregation — with explicit attention to execution plan quality. Design and maintain a strict query abstraction layer: no inline SQL in service logic, no unguarded full-table scans, and no query construction that bypasses parameterization boundaries. Diagnose production performance degradations end-to-end: read execution plans, identify index gaps, detect parameter sniffing issues, recognize statistics staleness, and distinguish between query-level and concurrency-level problems. Integrate with downstream ETL and data aggregation services, accounting for data refresh schedules, eventual consistency windows, and surfacing data staleness signals to consumers when relevant. Frontend Application Development Build production-grade React features using functional components, hooks, and context — covering data-dense grids, analytical dashboards, multi-step filter panels, drill-down detail views, and real-time status indicators with measurable render performance on large datasets. Own the API consumption layer: construct precise request payloads, implement structured error handling and loading/empty state management, and normalize responses aligned exactly to the API contract. Profile and optimize frontend performance: identify unnecessary re‑renders, apply memorization correctly, implement virtualization for large lists, and reduce time‑to‑interactive on data‑heavy views. Validate correctness across all filter permutations, edge‑case data states, and pagination boundaries before marking work complete — not just the golden path. Cross‑Cutting Engineering & Collaboration Write idempotent, reversible database migration scripts for schema changes on large analytical tables, with explicit rollback paths and zero‑downtime strategies where required. Contribute to and enforce structured logging standards, ensuring every error surface includes stack context, correlation identifiers, and sufficient operational signal to support diagnosis without an attached debugger. Participate in architectural reviews, surfacing performance risks, scalability constraints, and integration edge cases before designs are finalized. Maintain API documentation and integration specifications as a first‑class deliverable, ensuring downstream consumers and QA are never blocked by undocumented behavior. core Competencies Accountability (Proficient): Actively takes ownership of work and decisions, demonstrating reliability and a commitment to achieving team and organizational goals, while readily admitting mistakes and taking corrective action. Analytical Thinking (Advanced): Demonstrates advanced analytical thinking by anticipating trends, identifying strategic risks and opportunities, and developing forward‑looking solutions. Navigates ambiguity with ease and guides the team in applying cross‑functional insights to drive continuous improvement and informed decision‑making. Attention to Detail (Proficient): Applies attention to detail by consistently producing thorough, high‑quality work while effectively prioritizing and organizing information. Distinguishes between relevant and irrelevant details to minimize errors and uphold strong standards of accuracy and consistency. Collaboration (Proficient): Demonstrates effective collaboration by fostering open communication and adapting work style to support team success. Actively contributes to problem‑solving, facilitates positive team dynamics, and takes initiative to resolve conflicts and promote a cooperative environment. Problem Solving (Proficient): Analyzes problems beyond surface symptoms and adapts standard approaches to develop practical solutions. Works independently on moderately complex challenges, identifying root causes and implementing longer‑term improvements. Technical Proficiency (Advanced): Provides expert‑level technical leadership by driving innovation and resolving critical challenges. Leads technical projects, influences strategic decisions, and serves as a trusted resource for advanced technical solutions. Qualifications Education & Experience: 6+ years of software engineering experience with end‑to‑end ownership from data layer to UI.
