Job description

Role Overview

The Software Development Engineer designs, builds, and maintains high-quality software that delivers measurable business impact. This role blends deep coding expertise with product thinking and operational ownership: delivering features end-to-end, improving performance and reliability, and collaborating across product, design, and platform teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement features with clean, maintainable code; write unit, integration, and end-to-end tests aligned to a testing pyramid.
• Collaborate with product and design to refine requirements, define acceptance criteria, and plan iterative delivery with clear milestones.
• Build reliable APIs/services and data models; ensure backward compatibility and clear contracts for consumers.
• Instrument code with logs, metrics, and traces; define SLOs/SLIs; triage and resolve production issues with blameless root‑cause analysis.
• Automate workflows (CI/CD pipelines, code quality checks, security scans) and champion continuous delivery practices including canary/blue‑green strategies where applicable.
• Maintain high standards for code reviews, documentation, and technical debt management; plan refactors that improve reliability and developer productivity.
• Partner with platform/SRE/security to embed security and compliance by design (secrets management, least privilege, dependency hygiene).

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field. A Master’s degree is a plus.
• Minimum 1‑5 years of total experience in software development area.
• Professional experience building production software in one or more languages (e.g., Java/Kotlin, Go, Python, TypeScript).
• Solid grasp of computer science fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, concurrency, and distributed systems basics.
• Experience designing REST/gRPC APIs, working with relational and/or NoSQL databases, and using version control (Git) with modern branching strategies.
• Hands‑on with automated testing and CI; understands build pipelines and artifact management.

Preferred Qualifications

• Cloud‑native development on AWS/GCP/Azure; familiarity with containers (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/Pulumi) and deployment strategies (canary, blue/green, feature flags).
• Observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry) and performance tuning for latency/throughput/cost.
• Security‑first mindset: SAST/DAST/SCA integration, secrets management, and least‑privilege IAM design.

Core Competencies

• Ownership: drives features from concept to production and long‑term maintenance; proactively manages risks and trade‑offs.
• Systems thinking: designs with scalability, reliability, and cost in mind; defines clear boundaries and contracts.
• Collaboration: communicates clearly with cross‑functional partners; gives and receives actionable feedback in code reviews.

Skills:

• Languages/Frameworks: Java/Kotlin (Spring), Go, Python (FastAPI), TypeScript (Node.js, NestJS/Express), React.
• Data: PostgreSQL/MySQL, Redis, MongoDB, message queues/streams (Kafka, Pub/Sub).
• CI/CD: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins; artifact registries; Argo CD/Flux for GitOps.
