Senior Software Engineer, Core Services

We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer, Core Services, to contribute to building foundational services that will shape our engineering platform. This is a hands-on role for an engineer who wants to develop and deliver core platform capabilities that accelerate product development across the organization.

• Project Execution: Implement well-defined project plans and deliver high-quality, maintainable code.

• Engineering Mentorship: You'll mentor junior engineers and help uphold the team's technical standards.

• Technical Implementation: Design and build maintainable, scalable services and APIs. Our stack includes Python, Django, MySQL, React, and TypeScript, but we welcome strong engineers from other backgrounds who can learn quickly.

• Cross-Team Collaboration: Work with team leads, product managers, and other engineers to ensure solutions are practical and aligned with product goals

Who you are:

• Systems Implementation: Experience implementing distributed systems, APIs, or microservices that are scalable and resilient.

• Problem-Solving: Ability to identify and solve well-defined problems within the team's scope.
