Senior Software Engineer

Key Responsibility:

• Take end-to-end ownership of a digital platform application: its architecture, code quality, reliability, and roadmap.
• Lead a small team of 3 to 5 engineers as their technical lead: set technical direction, plan and distribute work, and own the team’s delivery and quality.
• Design, develop, and maintain applications, services, and integrations across the digital platform ecosystem.
• Modernize and evolve the application as the technology landscape changes, including moving it onto newer platforms and architectures with minimal disruption to users.
• Build intelligent, AI-driven capabilities into the application, from automation of routine tasks to features that reason over context and act on the user’s behalf.
• Build and support APIs, data flows, and system integrations.
• Translate business requirements into technical designs and scalable solutions.
• Lead development efforts for projects, enhancements, and platform improvements.
• Support web performance optimization (caching strategies, CDN, page speed improvements).
• Develop and deploy cloud-based solutions within AWS environments.
• Ensure code quality, testing coverage, and documentation standards.
• Contribute to and improve CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex system and integration issues.
• Ensure data integrity, reliability, and security best practices.
• Develop and maintain custom themes, plugins, and extensions within CMS platforms where the current application requires it.
• Collaborate with Product, Marketing, vendors, and IT teams.
• Mentor engineers, unblock the team, and support knowledge sharing.
• Leverage automation and emerging AI tools to improve development efficiency and platform capabilities.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
• 5-8+ years of experience in software engineering.
• Strong proficiency in modern web development: JavaScript/TypeScript, a modern frontend framework (React or similar), and a backend language such as Python or Node.js
• Strong experience designing, building, and supporting APIs and system integrations.
• Hands-on experience developing scalable, performant web applications in cloud environments.
• Hands-on with AWS services such as EC2, S3, CloudFront, Lambda, and basic networking concepts.
• Experience modernizing or re-platforming existing applications onto new architectures, managing the transition without disrupting users.
• Comfortable integrating AI or intelligent automation into applications, or a strong appetite to build this depth.
• Experience leading a small engineering team as a technical lead: setting technical direction, distributing work, and owning delivery (formal people-management is not required).
• Strong problem-solving, debugging, and system design skills.
• Familiarity with WordPress or similar CMS platforms (PHP), sufficient to own and operate a CMS-based application in its current state.
• Experience working within structured IT environments and cross-functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with headless CMS or composable digital platforms.
• Experience taking an application through a significant platform migration or architectural overhaul.
• Experience building AI-assisted features, intelligent automation, or tool-using AI workflows in production.
• Familiarity with MarTech ecosystems and marketing workflows.
• Experience with automation, scripting, or infrastructure-as-code.
• Experience with monitoring, logging, and observability tools.
• Experience working in global, matrixed enterprise environments.
