Job description

We are seeking a high-caliber Senior Software Development Engineer to join a team building customer-centric solutions for the business. This role is designed for a top-tier engineer who combines deep technical expertise with strong product intuition and business acumen. You will tackle ambiguous challenges, rapidly prototype solutions directly with stakeholders, and architect scalable, secure systems. You operate with high autonomy, acting as the critical technical bridge that turns business objectives into high-performing software.

AI-Assisted Development: Use agentic AI tools throughout the SDLC to move faster, while maintaining full accountability for code quality, correctness, and security.

Feedback Loops for Coding Agents: Design quality gates, spec-driven workflows, and deterministic checks that catch agent errors before humans do.

Critical Adoption: Evaluate AI tools and patterns critically, adopting what improves the team’s output and discarding what doesn’t.

  1. Reliability & DevSecOps

Security-First Mindset: Embed security and compliance into the core of the development lifecycle, proactively mitigating vulnerabilities through secure design.

Production Standards: Build well-tested, maintainable software. Implement CI/CD pipelines to ensure systems are resilient, scalable, and optimized for an exceptional end-user experience.

Operational Readiness: Make production behavior measurable, debuggable, and recoverable by building observability, alerting, runbooks, and recovery paths into systems from the start.

  1. Execution & Business Ownership

Drive Outcomes: Take ownership of delivering meaningful business results, managing scope responsibly, and communicating technical risks early.

Technical Translation: Partner closely with Product Managers and business leaders. Articulate complex architectural decisions and tradeoffs in clear, outcome-oriented terms.

Partnering Across Functions: Engage security, risk, compliance, and platform teams early, communicate technical tradeoffs clearly, and make the case when a project calls for a different approach.

  1. Culture

High Performance: We value high standards, continuous learning, and collaborative problem solving, creating an environment where talented individuals can thrive alongside exceptional teammates.

Ownership & Accountability: Team members are trusted to take ownership of their work, exercise thoughtful judgment, and follow through on commitments.
