About the role

As a Software Engineer II, you’ll be empowered to develop reliable, scalable solutions that solve real-world problems for customers, with the knowledge that your work has a direct positive impact.

• Participate actively in code review, testing, and the continuous improvement of how the team works.

• Apply a practical understanding of AI technologies, identifying opportunities to bring automation or intelligence into feature development.

• Bring a user-centric mindset, ensuring engineering decisions support better user experiences — even in platform-facing work.
