## About the Role

* 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.

## Description

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.
