About the role:

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will independently design, develop, and deliver scalable software features and solutions based on core product requirements. You will work across the full stack to build and maintain APIs, user interfaces, and backend services using modern frameworks and cloud-native infrastructure.

This role involves leveraging AI-assisted coding tools to streamline development tasks such as drafting boilerplate code, refactoring legacy systems, and generating tests—while ensuring all generated code strictly adheres to enterprise security and performance standards. Beyond hands-on development, you will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, champion DevOps and continuous integration best practices, mentor junior engineers, and proactively address technical debt to continuously improve the platform.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and deliver new features and solutions independently based on product requirements.
• Develop and maintain scalable APIs, client interfaces, and backend services.
• Investigate, troubleshoot, and resolve complex technical issues while continuously improving application quality and maintainability.
• Utilize Claude Code, Gemini, and Rovo to draft boilerplate, refactor legacy systems, generate test coverage, and troubleshoot bugs.
• Work closely with DevOps practices to ensure smooth deployments across environments, leveraging CI/CD pipelines and automation.
• Ensure AI-generated code meets enterprise security standards, performance benchmarks, and best practices before merging.
• Partner closely with Product Managers, Designers, QA Engineers, and other stakeholders to validate requirements and ensure successful delivery.
• Mentor junior engineers through code reviews, technical guidance, and knowledge-sharing activities.
• Promote engineering best practices, including automated testing, code quality standards, observability, and secure software development.
• Proactively identify technical debt, propose improvements, and contribute to the continuous evolution of the platform.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 3–6 years of professional software engineering experience, with proven expertise in designing and developing modern web applications.
• Strong proficiency in frontend development using React (16–18) and modern JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystems, including state management, routing, and component-driven UI frameworks.
• Solid experience building, deploying, and maintaining backend services using Node.js and TypeScript.
• Hands-on experience designing and implementing cloud-native solutions using AWS services such as Lambda, ECS/Fargate, API Gateway, and related technologies.
• Experience working with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing frameworks, monitoring, and DevOps best practices.
• Proven experience delivering large-scale enterprise software products in an agile development environment.
• Proven experience using advanced AI coding agents (specifically Claude Code, Gemini, Rovo, or GitHub Copilot) in a professional environment.
• Strong understanding of software design principles, system architecture, security best practices, and performance optimization.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders across global teams.

We champion flexibility and hybrid work options to support varying lifestyles and personal needs. At the same time, we value the power of in-person collaboration to build community, spark innovation, and strengthen connections. Our approach ensures you can work in ways that suit you best while still engaging with colleagues to share ideas and grow together.
