This is an opportunity to take ownership of complex, high-impact projects, shape technical direction, and mentor other engineers while working with a modern, cloud-based stack.

Day to day, you will move fluidly between deep coding sessions, architecture discussions, and code reviews, partnering closely with product managers and designers to turn ambitious ideas into reliable, scalable software.

  • Improve CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and deployment processes
  • Participate in sprint planning, estimation, and retrospectives
  • Evaluate new tools and technologies to improve engineering efficiency

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience
  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Strong proficiency in one or more modern languages such as Java, Python, or Go
  • Experience designing and building RESTful APIs and microservices
  • Solid understanding of cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP
  • Experience with relational and NoSQL databases
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and containerization tools like Docker and Kubernetes
  • Strong communication skills and ability to mentor other engineers
  • Comfortable working in an agile, cross-functional team environment

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Generous paid time off and company holidays
  • Hybrid work schedule with flexible hours
  • Professional development and continuing education stipend
  • Life and disability insurance
