Job Description

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will play a key role in driving the technical strategy, development, and upkeep of Staples Promotional Product’s core applications and system integrations. You’ll be responsible for crafting and enhancing software components - including programs, scripts, and data models - based on detailed design specifications that emphasize performance, reliability, and scalability.

This role requires deep expertise in system integration, testing, and technical documentation, with a strong focus on designing intuitive, customer‑facing front‑end applications throughout the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). You’ll write clean, efficient code, build tools and applications, and contribute to initiatives that impact your team’s deliverables.

Assignments typically span short to mid‑term duration and require independent decision‑making, though work is reviewed at defined checkpoints. You’ll mentor junior engineers and operate within established development frameworks and standards.

Additionally, you’ll lead architectural planning and coordinate across distributed teams (onshore and offshore).

Success in this role requires hands‑on experience with eCommerce platforms, Azure Cloud services, AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service), and a solid grasp of data compliance and reporting requirements paired with strong leadership and communication skills.

Duties & Responsibilities

• Create or modify complex programs, modules, routines, scripts, and data objects where performance, efficiency, and reliability are critical to the entire system.
  
• Assist in the development, testing, and maintenance of software functionality and perform coding, debugging, testing, and troubleshooting throughout the application development process.
  
• Engage in the full software development lifecycle, including requirement analysis, documentation of technical specifications, design, testing, deployment, and review of code.
  
• Analyze, test, monitor, and improve the performance, scalability, and functionality of software solutions.
  
• Mentor junior software engineers, providing guidance and support, and lead by example in code quality and best practices.
  
• Work with Architects, business partners, and Product teams to ensure systems are implemented as designed and translate business requirements into technical solutions.
  
• Identify, isolate, and resolve malfunctions related to software, and proactively anticipate and prevent problems before they occur.
  
• Stay informed of emerging trends or technologies and contribute to the evolution and documentation of application systems.
  
• Address all production‑related issues promptly and with urgency.
