Job description

As a Software Engineer II, you will take on complex engineering responsibilities -owning features, contributing to design decisions, and mentoring early-career engineers. You will operate within an agile team and build production-ready systems with a strong emphasis on reliability, scalability, and cloud-native development.

What you'll do

• Design, develop, and maintain high-quality software applications that meet user story requirements and acceptance criteria.
• Own medium-sized features from design through production release, independently breaking down work.
• Write and maintain unit, integration, and end-to-end tests; contribute to the ongoing improvement of CI/CD pipelines.
• Build reliable, scalable cloud-native services using AWS services, following best practices in security and observability.
• Implement mobile and/or cross-platform application features using Dart and Flutter, delivering performant and maintainable UI and business logic.
• Troubleshoot and resolve production issues; participate in on-call rotations if applicable.
• Provide technical guidance to Software Engineer I team members; conduct code reviews and share engineering best practices.
• Collaborate closely with Product, Design, QA, and DevOps partners in an agile environment.
• Stay current with emerging technologies and contribute insights to help evolve our architecture and engineering practices.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in a related discipline and 2 years' experience in a related field; or a different combination, such as a master's degree and up to 2 years' experience; or 10 years' experience in a related field with no degree.
• Applicants must currently be authorized to work in the United States for any employer without current or future sponsorship. No OPT, CPT, STEM/OPT or visa sponsorship now or in future.
• 2+ years of professional software engineering experience in production environments.
• Strong, hands-on AWS experience (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, RDS, SNS/SQS, CloudWatch, IAM, S3, serverless frameworks, or similar).
• Proficiency in at least one backend or full-stack language (TypeScript/JavaScript, Python or similar).
• Experience building RESTful APIs, services, or distributed systems.
• Solid understanding of software engineering principles: object-oriented design, test automation, CI/CD, debugging, and performance considerations.
• Experience working in agile environments and contributing to design discussions.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience designing scalable, cloud-native architectures or serverless applications.
• Familiarity with container services (Docker, ECS, EKS) or infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/CDK).
• Professional experience coding with Dart and Flutter (mobile, cross-platform, or internal tooling).
• Experience with relational or NoSQL databases.
• Experience with mobile deployment pipelines (e.g., Firebase App Distribution, TestFlight).
• Exposure to AI-assisted coding tools (GitHub Copilot, CodeWhisperer, etc.), especially in production or experimentation contexts.
• Experience mentoring junior engineers or leading small development initiatives.
