As a Senior Software Engineer II at Smartsheet, you will create the next generation of our platform while tackling meaningful distributed systems challenges alongside a talented engineering team. You will collaborate closely with product managers and fellow engineers through code reviews and architectural discussions, and you will have the opportunity to mentor other engineers.

• Lead code reviews and architectural discussions as you work with other software engineers and product managers
• Be a force multiplying team lead at the helm of our most important work
• Mentor other engineers on code quality and other industry best practices
• Forge a strong partnership with product management and other key areas of the business
• Actively use AI tools to improve personal and team efficiency across coding, testing, design, and troubleshooting, exploring AI integration opportunities within team processes and features, and coaching others on effective AI use
• Promote best practices, even beyond the immediate team

You Have:

• 7+ years of programming experience with full stack technologies such Java, Kotlin or TypeScript
• 3+ years of experience with cloud technologies (AWS, Azure, etc.)
• 1+ year professional experience leveraging AI to improve personal productivity in service of building complex SaaS feature sets
• Experience developing, documenting, and supporting REST APIs
• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field or equivalent practical experience

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with a collaborative spirit
• Conviction for doing the right things the right way with a history of championing them as such
• Curiosity to understand existing systems and boldness to pioneer next gen ones
• Legal eligibility to work in the U.S. on an ongoing basis
