Sr Advanced Software Engineer

Join a world-class engineering organization building the cloud platform that powers millions of connected devices across Security, Comfort, Air, and Water solutions. In this role as a Senior Advanced Software Engineer, you will operate as a technical owner for complex initiatives, leading small groups of engineers (2-3 developers) and driving delivery across multiple system layers, from device integration through cloud services and application consumption.

This role blends hands‑on engineering, technical leadership, and end‑to‑end ownership, with a strong emphasis on clear technical thinking, concise documentation, and disciplined software practices.

Own medium‑to‑large initiatives end‑to‑end, from early requirement discovery through design, implementation, rollout, and production hardening;
Lead and guide a small pod of 2-3 developers, providing technical direction, task breakdown, and delivery accountability;
Balance hands‑on development with leadership responsibilities, remaining deeply involved in critical code paths and design decisions;
Drive alignment across teams (Product, Firmware, Mobile, QA, SRE, Dev Ops, Partner teams) to deliver cohesive, cross‑layer integrations.

Design and evolve backend services using C#/.NET on Azure within a highly distributed, event‑driven architecture;
Define clear service contracts using OpenAPI, JSON Schema, and contract‑first design principles;
Architect and implement event‑driven workflows using Event Hubs, Service Bus, IoT Hub, Event Grid, and internal messaging pipelines;
Make pragmatic architectural decisions that balance scalability, reliability, delivery timelines, and long‑term maintainability

Lead technical requirement discovery in collaboration with Product and partner teams, translating ambiguous inputs into clear technical designs;
Produce concise, high‑quality documentation (RFCs, design docs, sequence diagrams, operational notes) that enables fast, confident execution;
Establish and enforce clear ownership boundaries, contracts, and integration expectations across systems and teams

Champion strong software engineering practices: automated testing, CI/CD, safe deployments, and progressive rollouts;
Drive improvements in observability, resilience, and operational readiness using metrics, logging, tracing, and alerting;
Lead performance analysis and capacity planning for high‑throughput device telemetry and fan‑out workloads;
Participate in incident investigations and ensure learnings translate into durable fixes and platform improvements

Take ownership for features in production, including on‑call participation, root‑cause analysis, and long‑term remediation;
Proactively identify platform gaps and propose initiatives to improve scalability, reliability, developer experience, or cost efficiency;
Act as a technical point of contact for complex integrations spanning multiple services and teams
