We encourage you to apply and bring your expertise if you're a:
- Technical problem solver: Going far beyond simply developing error-free source code, test scripts, components and system architectures, you'll document and build deployment guides aimed at maintaining robust, relevant software
- Customer-centric engineer: Putting clients' needs first, you'll translate customer requirements into technical applications and support the implementation of new software
- Motivated mentor: Exercise your technical chops while coaching and collaborating with junior software engineers.
- Forward thinker: Merely fixing a problem isn't enough – using your proactive mindset and initiative, you'll also identify opportunities to enhance performance, quality and efficiency
What you'll do:
- Design, build, and integrate full-stack solutions using JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Node.js, Next.js, and/or Java.
- Build and execute AI driven workflows.
- Drive our Micro Frontend (MFE) strategy, rapidly onboarding React apps into the Bridgeway MFE platform.
- Develop a deep understanding of upstream and downstream systems to maintain end-to-end data quality, proactively identifying risks, resolving root causes, and preventing data-induced defects.
- Break down ambiguous technical problems, identify root causes across complex systems, and deliver incremental improvements with clear milestones.
- Collaborate with cross-functional partners across product, design, platform, security, and data to ensure system accuracy, streamline interactions, and drive continuous improvements to reliability, performance, and customer experience.
- Establish and champion engineering best practices, mentor engineers, driving measurable improvements across SCORP engineering excellence pillars.

- Proficiency in cloud-hosted and modern web application development using Node.js, React, TypeScript, HTML/CSS, Micro Frontends, and contemporary JavaScript frameworks; working knowledge of Java.
- Experience building and optimizing cloud-native platforms using modern cloud services (preferably AWS), CDK, DevOps practices, GitHub Actions or equivalent CI/CD platforms, and infrastructure automation.
- Strong database and data engineering skills, including relational database design, data modeling, large-scale data ingestion, cloud-scale data management, governance, performance tuning, and scalability.
- Deep understanding of application and platform security, including authentication, authorization (OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect), secure coding practices, and OWASP Top 10 principles.
- Expertise in engineering quality practices, including design thinking, test-driven development, automated testing with Playwright, performance testing with JMeter (or equivalent), and rigorous code review processes.
- Experience implementing observability and operational excellence practices using Datadog, Splunk, monitoring, diagnostics, and reliability engineering methodologies.
- Experience building and implementing solutions leveraging Generative AI, Agentic workflows, workflow automation, and intelligent process orchestration capabilities to improve engineering productivity and business outcomes.
Leadership & Professional Skills
- Strong negotiation, facilitation, and influence skills, with the ability to align diverse stakeholders and drive consensus-based outcomes.
- Proven analytical and problem-solving skills, including the ability to identify systemic issues, recognize cross-team dependencies, and translate ambiguity into actionable solutions.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts and collaborate effectively across technical and non-technical teams.
