Job description

At Globe, our goal is to create a wonderful world for our people, business, and nation. By uniting people of passion who believe they can make a difference, we are confident that we can achieve this goal.

Job Description

As a Senior/Lead Software Development Engineer, you won’t just be writing code—you’ll be shaping the technical future of our platform. You will serve as a technical pillar for the team, balancing hands-on development with high-level architectural decisions and mentorship.

Your Mission & Responsibilities

• Architect & Scale: Lead the design and evolution of high-performance, distributed cloud applications that define our core services.
• Technical Leadership: Partner with product leaders to translate complex business requirements into elegant, scalable technical roadmaps.
• Engineering Excellence: Set the gold standard for code quality, security, and performance through rigorous peer reviews and by championing best practices across the "elite squad."
• Infrastructure Strategy: Oversee our CI/CD philosophy and cloud infrastructure, ensuring our systems are not just automated, but resilient and cost-optimized.
• Orchestration Mastery: Drive our containerization strategy using Docker and Kubernetes, moving beyond "using" tools to "optimizing" them for global scale.
• Mentorship: Act as a force multiplier by coaching junior and mid-level engineers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and technical curiosity.

What You Bring To The Table

• Track Record: 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, specializing in the delivery of large-scale, production-grade systems. Proven leadership as a Senior Engineer, successfully guiding teams of developers to ship high-impact software.
• Polyglot Proficiency: Must have expert-level mastery in Node.js, Java, or TypeScript, with the ability to choose the right tool for the specific architectural challenge. Nice to have: Python
• Cloud Authority: Deep, "under-the-hood" experience with AWS or Google Cloud. You don’t just use cloud services; you understand their limitations and cost-performance trade-offs.
• System Design Expert: You’ve successfully navigated the complexities of microservices, distributed systems, and data consistency at scale.
• Operational Ownership: You have a "you build it, you run it" mentality, with deep experience in observability (Prometheus/Grafana) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).

Advanced Bonus Points

• Platform Engineering: Experience building internal developer platforms or tooling that improves the entire department's velocity.
• Serverless Visionary: Experience migrating monolithic or traditional microservices to event-driven, serverless architectures.
• Security Champion: A background in DevSecOps, including automated security scanning and zero-trust architecture.

Why You’ll Lead Here

• Impact at Scale: Your decisions will directly influence our technical debt, developer experience, and product success.
• Autonomy: We trust our Leads to own their domain. You’ll have the freedom to experiment with new technologies and steer the stack.
• Growth Environment: We don't just provide resources; we provide a platform for you to establish yourself as a thought leader within the industry.
• Hybrid Freedom: A culture built on trust, allowing you to manage your time and your team in a way that maximizes both output and well-being.
• Work setup: Hybrid (3x onsite, 2x WFH)
• Day shift
