Lead Software Engineer Platform Modernization

We believe that both a high-quality team and high-quality code are critical pieces of our mission. You'll be responsible for working with a team of engineers, designing solutions, building the backbone interoperability platform that powers our engaging customer experience assets. The platform is envisioned to be a modern high-fidelity information superhighway that integrates with a multitude of data sources and presents data in the right grain, at the right time. You'll work directly with architects, design solutions and build APIs, and orchestrate the flow of data across the platform. You'll help us build an enterprise scale microservices/streaming architectures that will help scale all our capabilities to those that we serve.

Being a part of the technology modernization team working closely with our product and architecture team, you will focus on building new platforms with both small and large new features and iterate through smaller enhancements that integrate across a variety of channels. Lastly, you will work with the analytics team to build a feedback loop to constantly improve on what we've already built.

Responsibilities

The Lead Software Engineer will have the chance to influence the decisions regarding all aspects of modernizing an organization. Software Engineers are trusted to own major parts of the codebase, and we expect you to thrive as a leader in spearheading and shaping the technology direction, with support from your peers and sometimes even stepping into the role of an architect

Software Engineers will help develop cloud native solutions, leveraging AWS and or Microsoft Azure, and are able to code in languages and frameworks that fit into that ecosystem -Java and Net Core (C#). In addition, our automation infrastructure will allow you to quickly test and deploy your code. #LI-Remote
