Our team thrives in a fast-moving environment where priorities may shift, and success comes from balancing strong execution with forward-thinking engineering., As an Engineer II, you will:
- Develop and integrate back-end services using languages such as Java, C#, or Go, including building and consuming extensible REST APIs
- Build modern, user-friendly interfaces using React and JavaScript/TypeScript, translating workflows into functional UI (not design-only work)
- Scope, design, and build end-to-end internal applications that include front-end, back-end, and data components
- Collaborate cross-functionally throughout the software lifecycle: discovery, design, implementation, testing, release, and support
- Participate in design sessions and code reviews to elevate quality, maintainability, and shared engineering standards
- Utilize developer tooling across the SDLC including Azure DevOps (ADO) (work item structure, planning, repos, and delivery practices) and contribute to improving how work is tracked and delivered
- Contribute to systems thinking and technical best practices: architecture patterns, reliability, performance, security, and scalability
- Where appropriate, contribute to integration and enablement work that connects internal applications with existing collaboration and platform ecosystems (e.g., communications platforms, meeting experiences, or operational tooling)
- Support continuous improvement through documentation, process refinement, and proactive identification of opportunities (technical debt reduction, automation, and quality improvements)
- Apply analysis and estimation skills to support planning, prioritization, and execution, Great Rewards: We offer compensation and benefits built to enhance your physical well-being, mental and emotional health and financial future.
- Comprehensive Total Rewards program that offers personalized coverage tailor-made for you and your family's overall well-being.

- Exposure to cloud platforms (Azure/AWS/GCP) and common operational concepts (monitoring/telemetry, alerting, logging)
- Familiarity with containerization concepts (Docker; Kubernetes exposure is a plus)
- Interest or experience in platform-adjacent engineering (tooling, automation, integrations)
- Exposure to collaboration platforms and ecosystems such as Slack, Zoom, and/or enterprise audio/video environments (integration mindset is a plus), * 2+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
- 2+ years of experience with architecture and design
