Senior Software Engineer

bond-pro-inc; Tampa (FL); On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

bond-pro-inc is seeking a Senior Software Engineer in Tampa, FL to own end-to-end software solutions within an Agile team. You will take ambiguous requirements from concept to production and bring architectural judgment to how we structure and process data at scale.

You will design microservices, integrate AI/ML components, and handle diverse data formats while collaborating with UI/UX. Mentoring junior developers and contributing to big data pipelines are key parts of the role.

Qualifications

• Proven experience in Scrum/Agile teams with sprint planning and iterative delivery.
• Knowledge of modern design patterns and separation of concerns for maintainability.
• Experience collaborating with UI/UX and refining requirements.
• Hands-on with structured to unstructured data formats (CSV, JSON, Avro).
• Experience with big data tech (Spark, Kafka, Hadoop) and related design patterns.
• Experience building and validating POCs.
• Experience designing microservices - service decomposition, REST/gRPC, API contracts.
• Strong data persistence knowledge (ORM, SQL/NoSQL, CQRS).
• Cloud platforms experience (AWS, Azure or GCP).
• Experience with ML/NLP in production systems.

Responsibilities

• Work within a Scrum/Agile team through full sprint cycle with backlog refinement and planning.
• Refine requirements with product owners turning ambiguity into estimable stories.
• Apply modern design patterns and enforce separation of concerns across codebase.
• Design and build POCs to validate new approaches before full implementation.
• Integrate AI/ML/NLP components into production systems.
• Design systems supporting CSV, JSON, Avro, and other schemas with storage/processing tradeoffs.
• Contribute to big data architecture: batch/streaming, partitioning, scalable processing.
• Collaborate with UI/UX to align frontend with usability and design intent.
• Mentor junior developers through code reviews and design discussions.

Job description

SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER

Overview

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer who can operate independently within an Agile team, take ambiguous requirements from concept to production, and bring architectural judgment to how we structure and process data at scale. This is not a developer from a particular tech stack, but rather a true software engineer who can and will work with any number of languages without restriction.

We are only accepting candidates currently residing in the state of Florida, Georgia or Texas at this time.

Responsibilities

• Work within a Scrum/Agile team through the full sprint cycle - backlog refinement, sprint planning, capacity estimation, daily standups, sprint review, and retrospectives.

• Participate in requirement refinement sessions with product owners and stakeholders, turning ambiguous asks into well-scoped, estimable stories.

• Apply modern software design patterns and enforce separation of concerns across the codebase, ensuring components remain loosely coupled and independently testable.

• Design and build proofs of concept (POCs) to validate new approaches before committing to full implementation.

• Integrate AI/ML and/or NLP components into production systems.

• Design and implement systems that handle structured (CSV, relational), semi-structured (JSON), unstructured, and schema-bound formats like Avro, including the tradeoffs between them for storage, processing and schema evolution.

• Contribute to big data architecture and design patterns - batch and/or streaming pipelines, data partitioning, and scalable processing approaches.

• Collaborate with UI/UX on interface design decisions, ensuring frontend implementation aligns with usability and design intent.

• Mentor junior developers through code review, pairing, and design discussions.

Required Qualifications

• Proven experience working in Scrum/Agile teams, including sprint planning, capacity estimation, and iterative delivery.

• Strong grasp of modern design patterns ("strategy, factory, repository, observer") and the "separation of concerns" principle - able to explain not just what it is, but why it matters for maintainability and testability.

• Experience with UI/UX collaboration and requirement refinement.

• Hands-on experience with structured, semi-structured, unstructured, and schema-based data formats (CSV, JSON, Avro).

• Big data technology experience (e.g., Spark, Kafka, Hadoop ecosystem or equivalent) and associated design patterns.

• Demonstrated experience building and validating POCs.

• Experience designing and building microservices architectures - service decomposition, inter-service communication (REST/gRPC/event-driven messaging), API contracts and independent deployability.

• Strong understanding of data layer and persistence design patterns - repository pattern, unit of work, CQRS, data access layer abstraction, ORM vs raw query tradeoffs, caching strategies and both relational (SQL) and NoSQL database design.

• Experience with cloud platforms - AWS, Azure or Google Cloud Platform (GCP) - including core compute, storage, and managed data services on at least one major provider.

• Experience with Machine Learning, NLP or AI - applied experience integrating AI/ML components into production systems.

Desirable

• Proficiency in one or more modern languages beyond your primary stack - Python, Scala, Go, Java, Kotlin, Rust, TypeScript/Node.js or C# - with the versatility to pick up new languages as project needs evolve.

• Multi-cloud exposure across AWS, Azure, and GCP, and familiarity with cloud-native patterns (containers, Kubernetes, serverless, managed data/streaming services).
