Senior Software Engineer

This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who thrives in production code, handles ambiguity with confidence, and raises the technical bar for the team around them.You will design and deliver scalable systems, break down complex product requirements into thoughtful technical plans, and anticipate performance, reliability, and maintainability challenges before they surface in production. Beyond your own execution, you will mentor intermediate and associate engineers, helping them grow in system design, code quality, and engineering judgment.Your impact will extend across your team and product area through both direct contribution and technical leadership.ResponsibilitiesOwn the design and implementation of major features or subsystems from concept through productionBreak down ambiguous requirements into clear technical designs with well-understood tradeoffsWrite high-quality production code across backend and frontend systems using Node.js, TypeScript, Nest.js, and React.jsDesign and evolve PostgreSQL schemas with strong attention to indexing, performance, and data integrityOptimize slow queries and resolve systemic performance bottlenecksBuild and maintain event-driven workflows using Kafka and RedisDeploy, monitor, and debug containerized services in Kubernetes environmentsIdentify and address technical debt within owned systems and lead pragmatic refactorsLead by example in code reviews, coaching others on clean architecture, testing strategy, and maintainable designHandle production incidents methodically and improve systems to reduce recurrenceMentor associate and intermediate engineers through pairing, design reviews, and structured feedbackCommunicate complex technical tradeoffs clearly across engineering, product, and leadershipTechnology StackLanguages & Runtimes: Node.js, TypeScriptFrameworks: Nest.js, React.jsData & Messaging: PostgreSQL, Kafka, Redis, RedshiftInfrastructure & Orchestration: Kubernetes, ArgoCD, AWSMonitoring: DataDogRequirements8+ years of professional software engineering experienceDemonstrated ownership of major features or subsystems in production environmentsDeep expertise in the Node.js and TypeScript ecosystemStrong system design skills with experience buildin...
