Senior Software Engineer

Job Description Summary

The Senior Software Engineer designs, builds, and supports modern web applications using Type Script, React, and a Node.js API tier deployed on cloud platforms. This role provides hands‑on technical leadership across the full SDLC—helping teams deliver secure, scalable, and maintainable solutions—while leveraging AI‑assisted engineering tools to accelerate delivery, improve quality, and strengthen consistency in implementation and documentation.

• Work collaboratively with product owners, designers, and engineers (including contract and offshore developers) in an agile environment to deliver business outcomes.
• Build and support React + Type Script user experiences and integrate them with enterprise services through a Node.js API tier and RESTful APIs.
• Design, implement, test, and document solutions using modern front‑end patterns (component architecture, state management, accessibility) and API best practices (schema‑first contracts, versioning, observability).
• Perform design and analysis for deliverables; lead larger team design sessions and contribute to system‑level architecture decisions across front end, API, and cloud infrastructure.
• Serve as a subject matter expert for the Type Script/React + Node.js stack and mentor engineers on coding standards, testing strategy, and maintainable architecture.
• Recommend solutions that balance cost, business needs, performance, security, and platform impacts, including cloud and serverless design considerations.
• Utilize third‑party frameworks, open‑source libraries, and APIs to accelerate delivery and improve reliability of both UI and API implementations.
• Apply AI‑assisted engineering (e.g., AI copilots/IDEs) to speed up development tasks such as scaffolding, refactoring, test generation, documentation, and code review support—while ensuring human validation, security, and adherence to engineering standards.
• Stay current on front‑end and Node ecosystem advances and rapidly learn new tools, frameworks, and cloud capabilities to support the environment and deliverables.
• Assist with technical presentations and lead development meetings as needed.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science (or related technical discipline) or equivalent practical experience.
• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong hands‑on development in Type Script.
• Strong proficiency with React and modern front‑end engineering practices (component design, hooks, state management patterns, performance optimization, and testing).
• Experience building and operating a Node.js API tier (RESTful services, integration patterns, authentication/authorization, and API documentation such as OpenAPI/Swagger).
• Knowledge of database concepts and data modeling (relational and/or No
  
  SQL) and how to design data access patterns that support scalable APIs.
• Working understanding of cloud services (AWS and/or Azure) and common supporting tools used to deploy, monitor, and operate modern applications.
• Experience with build, test, and deployment tooling and modern Dev Ops practices (CI/CD pipelines, source control, automated testing).
• Familiarity with containers and orchestration (Docker/Kubernetes/Open Shift) and/or serverless patterns depending on platform needs.
• Strong analytical thinking, problem‑solving skills, and technical communication; able to prioritize work to meet tight deadlines.

• Practical experience with AI‑assisted development workflows (e.g., using AI tools for spec‑driven development, code generation, test creation, and docs as code), with an emphasis on safe usage, review discipline, and measurable productivity improvements.
• Experience with real‑time or event‑driven patterns (Web Sockets, streaming, messaging) and modern integration architectures.
• Cloud or platform certifications (AWS / Microsoft).
• Experience in financial services or regulated environments, including security and compliance considerations in UI/API delivery.

• Hybrid‑Office Environment (Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays).
• Work outside of normal business hours may be required.
• Occasional travel.

Salary: $94,000 – $115,000…
