We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our early-stage Digital Transformation Team and help us build and scale our transformation journey. This is a startup-style role — you’ll have the chance to take ownership and grow beyond your role (e.g., advanced analytics, solution architecture) as the company scales. If you’re excited about creating impact, learning on the go, and growing with the company, we’d love to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

• Design and develop modern web applications with a strong focus on the frontend.
• Collaborate closely with the team in an agile, startup-like environment.
• Co-own features with the product owner end-to-end — from idea to deployment.
• Contribute to and learn across the stack (backend, database, DevOps, cloud).
• Balance speed with quality by writing clean, maintainable, and testable code.
• Continuously learn, adapt, and bring fresh ideas to the table.

What We’re Looking For

• Technical skills: Experienced in building and deploying end-to-end web applications.
• Familiarity with backend development, APIs, databases, or cloud platforms is a plus.
• Some exposure to mobile app development and DevOps practices (CI/CD, containers, cloud deployment) is a bonus.
• A self-starter who thrives in unstructured environments.
• Coachable, open to feedback, and eager to grow quickly.
• Naturally curious with a problem-solving mindset.
• Flexible and adaptable — comfortable wearing many hats.
• A collaborative team player with strong communication skills.
• Ownership mentality — you care about outcomes, not just tasks.
• While your experience may not align with every listed requirement, we recognize that transferable skills can bring significant value. If you believe your background could contribute meaningfully to our team, we encourage you to apply.
