communication skills across product, engineering, QA, data, and platform teams.

## Description

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join the MBA application team and help modernize and extend a customer-facing reporting and analytics platform. This role focuses on the MBA web application and its supporting Java and Spring Boot services, including server-rendered user experiences, REST APIs, search-driven capabilities, integrations, security, and cloud deployment. You will work within a mature application and collaborate with Product Management, UX, QA, Data Engineering, platform teams, Technical Customer Support, and business stakeholders to deliver reliable and intuitive customer capabilities. You will be expected to understand existing application behavior, lead technical designs, implement changes safely, improve automated testing, troubleshoot complex production issues, and incrementally modernize the platform. This role does not own MBA batch ETL or data-engineering pipelines. However, you will collaborate closely with Data Engineering and upstream system teams to
define contracts, validate end-to-end behavior, and resolve issues spanning the application, APIs, search indexes, databases, and data layers.
