Job summary

The Travelers Indemnity Company is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join our Technology organization. You will lead a software engineering team, design and deliver complex end-to-end solutions, mentor engineers, and influence cross-functional decisions to drive successful outcomes.

You will partner with product ownership, manage technical debt, ensure production readiness, and contribute to engineering standards while delivering high-quality software in a collaborative, agile environment.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in computer science, related STEM field, or its equivalent in education and/or work experience.
6 additional years of software engineering experience.
Five or more years of progressive software engineering experience, including technical leadership.

Responsibilities

Lead an engineering team by building alongside team members while remaining accountable for their professional growth, the team delivery outcomes, and the technical health of its systems.
Own technical decisions within established engineering standards; engage senior engineering leadership to help shape and influence broader impacting decisions.
Partner with product ownership on outcome definition; own system design, delivery cost, and technical feasibility while actively contributing to scope and priority discussions.
Perform complex analysis, advanced design, and development on high-visibility, high-impact work across the full system stack.
Mentor engineers at every experience level through pairing, code review, design review, and deliberate delegation; provide candid, timely feedback and identify what each team member is ready for next.
Manage technical trade-offs related to system flexibility, technical debt, and cross-team integration contracts; keep those trade-offs visible and on the backlog.
Surface capacity constraints and elevate unresolved technical-product disagreements rather than absorbing them quietly.
Maintain operational artifacts and ensure system status is findable without interrupting the team.
Contribute to broader engineering standards and represent the team's ground-level perspective on cross-cutting patterns.
Perform other duties as assigned.
