Senior Software Engineer Overview:
We are looking for an experienced Senior Full Stack Software Engineer to join our growing Engineering Team. The Senior Software Engineer is responsible for rapidly building and deploying high-performance, scalable applications that meet business needs. This role demands an ability to deliver solutions at an exceptional speed—solving complex problems and shipping production-ready code in a fraction of the time it would take a mid-level engineer.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will work on both front and backend applications. You will work with other senior and junior developers as part of an Engineering Team. In addition to being a high-end individual contributor, you will be expected to take ownership of key technical challenges, rapidly prototype and iterate on solutions, and ensure that the team maintains a high level of development velocity. You will also mentor junior developers, conduct code reviews, lead refinement sessions, and participate in key architectural decisions—always with an emphasis on speed, efficiency, and pragmatism.
