Job Overview

Our client is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to help drive the technology, platforms, and engineering practices that enable teams across the organization to deliver faster, more reliably, and at greater scale. This team is leading from the front in making meaningful contributions that allow the B&MI organization to go “faster.” This team is intentionally agile and flexible, not defined by a single technology stack, domain, or rigid process. Instead, it is composed of self-starters and self-unblockers who focus on delivering outcomes while continuously improving how those outcomes shape the next phase of platform evolution.

If you're seeking an opportunity to impact a business unit across platform engineering, DevOps, software engineering, and process transformation—while also mentoring and growing others—this position is for you.

Responsibilities

• Drive foundational improvements to CI/CD platforms, deployment pipelines, and engineering practices that improve reliability and accelerate software delivery.


• Design and develop reusable frameworks, internal platforms, and developer tools that increase engineering productivity across teams.


• Lead modernization efforts focused on cloud-native technologies, automation, AI-assisted engineering, and developer experience.


• Build and maintain scalable applications, APIs, services, and platform capabilities that support enterprise-scale solutions.


• Partner with engineering, platform, product, and architecture teams to solve cross-functional technical challenges.


• Contribute to architectural decisions that improve scalability, resilience, security, and long-term maintainability.


• Identify opportunities to simplify processes, eliminate inefficiencies, and improve SDLC and PDLC effectiveness.


• Support DevOps and platform engineering initiatives through automation, Infrastructure as Code, and operational excellence practices.


• Mentor engineers and promote engineering best practices across the organization.


• Stay current with emerging technologies and help evaluate opportunities to improve engineering effectiveness through innovation.
