Senior Software Developer

The Senior Software Developer is a hands-on technical contributor responsible for designing, building, deploying, and maintaining modern full-stack applications using React on the front end and Node.js (JavaScript/TypeScript) on the back end. This role emphasizes delivering secure, scalable, cloud-native solutions on AWS, including designing and integrating REST/JSON APIs (often using serverless patterns such as Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda) and partnering with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality user experiences and services.

Senior Developers are expected to operate with a high degree of autonomy and ownership across the full SDLC, contribute to architecture and technical decisions, mentor less- Senior engineers, and actively improve delivery, reliability, and operational excellence. They apply strong engineering practices including automated testing, CI/CD-driven delivery, security best practices (authentication/authorization and least-privilege access), and observability (logging, metrics, monitoring) to ensure systems are production-ready and maintainable.

Core Responsibilities

• Design, implement, test, and maintain production grade full-stack software (React UI + Node.js services) aligned with business and technical requirements.
• Contribute across the full software development lifecycle, including analysis, design, estimation, development, automated testing, CI/CD-driven deployment, and production support.
• Actively participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and technical decision making, providing clear rationale and trade off analysis.
• Build and maintain reliable, secure, and performant applications and services on AWS, including REST/JSON API integrations (often using Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda) and secure access patterns.
• Implement operability and observability practices (logging, metrics, monitoring/alerting) and use tools such as Amazon CloudWatch to troubleshoot issues across development, test, and production environments.
• Collaborate closely with product owners, architects, DevOps, and other engineers to deliver complete solutions.
• Mentor junior and mid level developers through code reviews, pairing, and technical guidance.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of engineering practices, including automation, CI/CD, testing, and operational maturity.

• Full-stack expertise in Node.js (JavaScript/TypeScript), and React
• Demonstrated ability to design clean, maintainable, well tested codebases, including strong familiarity with automated testing (unit/integration) and ownership of component level test strategy for the systems they build and support.
• Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals, including:
• Data structures and algorithms
• API design and integration
• Modular and layered architectures
• Performance and scalability considerations

Application Breadth

• Strong preference for full stack capability, including:
• Backend services (APIs, services, integrations, data access)
• Front end frameworks (React preferred; Angular or similar)
• Alternatively, strong depth in either backend or frontend, combined with solid working knowledge of the adjacent layer to support end-to-end delivery.

DevOps & Delivery Practices

• Strong experience with modern DevOps practices, including:
• CI/CD pipelines
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
• Automated testing and deployment
• Observability, logging, and monitoring (e.g., Amazon CloudWatch)
• Familiarity with tools and platforms such as:
• Git, CI/CD platforms (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.)
• Containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
• A mindset focused on operability, reliability, and automation, not just code delivery.

Cloud Platform Experience

• Strong experience in at least one major cloud platform:
• AWS (preferred), Azure, or GCP
• Experience designing, deploying, and operating applications in cloud environments, including:
• Networking, security, and identity concepts
• Managed services and patterns (e.g., serverless with API Gateway/Lambda, compute, storage, databases)
• Cost awareness and basic optimization considerations
• Familiarity with additional clouds is a plus, but depth in one platform is preferred over shallow exposure to many

AI Skills & Tool Usage

• Demonstrated experience using AI assisted development tools to improve productivity, quality, and learning (e.g., code generation, refactoring, testing, documentation).
• Basic familiarity with AI enabled application patterns, such as:

Integrating hosted AI services or APIs

Using AI for data processing, search, or automation use cases

• Ability to evaluate AI tools pragmatically, understanding benefits, limitations, and responsible use within enterprise and client contexts.
• Willingness to continuously upskill as AI tooling and platforms evolve

Professional Expectations

• Owns complex and/or ambiguous features end to end, drives technical decisions within scope, and mentors others through that ambiguity.
• Communicates clearly with both technical and non technical stakeholders.
• Comfortable working across multiple projects or domains as GE NA demand shifts.
• Balances delivery speed with code quality, stability, and long term maintainability.
• Contributes positively to team culture and knowledge sharing., * Typically 7+ years of professional software development experience (or equivalent demonstrated capability).
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field preferred, or equivalent practical experience.
• Relevant technical certifications (cloud, DevOps, etc.) are a plus but not required.
