This is a remote position

Experience Level

This role is ideal for engineers with 5+ years of total experience, including strong hands-on software development experience and 1+ year of technical leadership experience, with a proven track record of shipping complex projects successfully.

An experienced individual contributor and leader who thrives in large, complex projects with widespread impact.

Role Overview

As a Senior Engineer, you’ll ensure that projects don’t just get built — they get shipped. You’ll be the driving force behind architecture design, technical decision-making, project delivery, and stakeholder communication.

A Senior Craftsperson is a multiplier for any team:

• Able to independently own ill-defined, highly ambiguous projects.
• Thinks holistically across Product, Design, Platform, and Operations to deliver highly impactful solutions.
• Shapes roadmaps to tackle complex problems incrementally.
• Raises the quality, correctness, and suitability of their team’s work, with visible impact across their business domain and beyond.
• Strong mentor, role model, and coach for other engineers.

If you take pride in shipping high-quality software, mentoring teams, and creating an environment where engineers can thrive, we’d love to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

• Lead projects end-to-end, from architecture to deployment, ensuring timely, high-quality delivery.
• Collaborate with Engineering and Product Managers to plan, scope, and break work into manageable tasks.
• Always know if the project can ship, with clear trade-offs when needed.
• Drive technical decisions with a shipping-first mindset and active participation in key meetings.
• Maintain deep knowledge of your services, identifying risks and creating mitigation strategies.
• Review code for quality and best practices, mentoring engineers to improve their craft.
• Communicate clearly with stakeholders, set realistic expectations, and build trust.
• Support and guide engineers, helping unblock issues and foster collaboration.
• Anticipate challenges, prepare fallback plans, and facilitate problem-solving.
• Keep documentation accurate, up-to-date, and accessible.

You will also:

• Lead highly ambiguous projects of critical business impact, balancing engineering, operational, and client priorities.
• Link technical contributions directly to business impact, helping the team and stakeholders align.
• Contribute meaningfully to team goals, with visibility into business objectives over multiple quarters.
• Ensure safe rollout of new features through incremental releases, monitoring, and metrics.
• Anticipate and mitigate risks across connected systems, ensuring minimal operational impact.
• Proactively improve system quality and longevity while leveling up those around you.
• Shape roadmaps, vision, and practices of the engineering discipline, influencing both your team and the wider business.

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of software development experience, with strong architectural design skills.
• Strong hands-on experience with Python and PHP (must-have) and react.js (good-have).
• 1+ year in a technical leadership role, managing pods or cross-functional teams.
• Proficiency in system design, service ownership, and technical documentation.
• Strong experience with code reviews and quality assurance practices.
• Proven ability to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Track record of delivering complex projects on time.

You will also bring:

• Ability to own large, complex projects with widespread impact.
• Demonstrated influence beyond the immediate team, shaping outcomes across a business domain.
• Strengths in stakeholder management and navigating complex scenarios.
• Skills in deliberate discovery to uncover unknowns and design solutions that succeed in real-world conditions.
