As a
Senior Software Engineer , you will be responsible for tackling our most complex and ambiguous challenges. As a proficient coder and systems thinker, you will move beyond implementation to own the architecture and strategy for key components of our systems. In this role, you’ll apply your deep expertise to design and deliver
data-intensive, highly consistent, and secure software solutions. You will be instrumental in driving our modernization efforts, influencing the technical roadmap, and mentoring other engineers. Crucially, you will
regularly identify 'big rock' architectural and systemic problems, partnering with Senior Staff and Principal Engineers to drive impactful resolutions. You will operate with a high degree of autonomy, taking ownership of large-scale projects from conception to launch. This requires building trust with cross-functional partners and using data to make principle-based decisions. You'll

of sophisticated, mission-critical web applications using modern technologies like React, Next.js, and TypeScript. Build robust, scalable backend systems
and APIs with Python, making key design decisions that impact the entire team. Drive our technical strategy
by contributing to the team's roadmap, establishing new engineering best practices, and evaluating emerging technologies. Develop and execute the strategy for modernizing legacy systems , leading complex data migrations and tech-stack migrations. Champion a security-first culture
by designing and implementing robust security patterns. Mentor and coach other engineers
on the team, helping to level-up their skills through code reviews, design discussions, and direct guidance. Serve as a key escalation point
during on-call rotations, leading root-cause analysis for complex production issues and driving solutions to prevent recurrence. What We’re Looking For
