If you love autonomy, are naturally curious, and want to have a genuine impact within a growing company, we think you'd fit right in! Here's what you can expect to be working on as a Senior Software Engineer (L5) at Street Group Owning your area of the codebase and its direction: scoping ambiguous problems end-to-end and building with distributed systems and scale in mind. Directing parallel agent sessions to deliver work, while your own attention goes on the design decisions, reviews and complex problems where your judgement is required. Playing an active role in the department's big technical moves: security work, architectural changes, and platform upgrades. Building and improving the team's AI infrastructure beyond your own work - shared plugin skills and the review and CI loops the whole team relies on. Bringing product thinking into everything you build: understanding the user and commercial problem behind the brief, challenging requirements that don't serve the outcome, and being a regular technical voice in discovery alongside product and design. Mentoring less experienced engineers and holding the team's output to a high standard by showing others how to reach it. Work closely with technical leaders and Product Designers to offer technical input; paying special attention to scale, maintainability and alignment. ## Related Videos - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [The Laravel Core - Demystify The Beast](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/98-the-laravel-core-demystify-the-beast) - [Lessons learned from building a thriving Vue.js SaaS application](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1666-lessons-learned-from-building-a-thriving-vue-js-saas-application) - [Your next 10x engineer isn't in your city.
