Senior Full Stack Software Engineer

Join to apply for the Senior Full Stack Software Engineer role at Met Life

Role Value Proposition

We’re looking for a senior engineer who is passionate about engineering, excellence, and developer experience. In this role, you will drive org-wide AI adoption, test automation strategy, and Dev Ex improvements, partnering with product teams to design reusable frameworks, platforms, and best practices that significantly accelerate delivery while improving quality and security.

• Design and deliver AI-assisted development workflows (e.g., code generation, refactoring assistance, knowledge search, test generation) using tools like Git Hub Copilot, Azure OpenAI, and M365 Copilot.
• Build AI services and integration patterns (e.g., prompt engineering libraries, retrieval-augmented generation, model evaluation, guardrails, observability).
• Optimize local dev environments and inner loops: fast builds, containerized dev, remote dev environments, golden paths, and templates.
• Build platform tooling: CI/CD pipelines, reusable Git Hub Actions/Azure Dev Ops templates, standardized build/release workflows, and deployment automation.
• Improve repo hygiene: monorepo/multirepo strategy, branch protection, semantic versioning, conventional commits, and automated change logs.
• Implement observability for Dev Ex: DORA metrics (lead time, deployment frequency, MTTR, change failure rate), build times, flaky tests, PR cycle time.
• Run productivity experiments and A/B tests (e.g., Copilot on/off, pipeline caching strategies) and scale what works.
• Define and implement test pyramids across unit, integration, contract, and end-to-end layers.
• Build and scale test automation frameworks (e.g., Playwright/Cypress/Selenium, REST API testing, Pact for consumer-driven contracts, performance testing with k6/JMeter).

• 9+ years of professional software engineering experience with full-stack development.
• Proven track record in test automation frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and developer productivity tooling.
• Strong proficiency in front-end (React, Angular, or similar) and back-end (Node.js, Java, .NET, or Python) technologies.
• Expertise in automated testing tools (Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, JUnit, PyTest) and contract testing (Pact).
• Hands‑on experience with CI/CD platforms (Git Hub Actions, Azure Dev Ops) and cloud environments (Azure preferred, AWS/GCP acceptable).
• Familiarity with AI‑assisted development tools (Git Hub Copilot, Azure OpenAI) and prompt engineering concepts.

• Familiarity with DORA metrics and productivity measurement frameworks.
• Exposure to microservices architecture, event‑driven systems, and performance testing.
