How You'll Spend Your Time

Role Summary

As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll be a hands-on technical leader and key contributor in a cross-functional team, often acting as a technical lead. You’ll design, build, and operate Java Spring Boot microservices and RESTful APIs on AWS (as we migrate from on-prem), using event-driven architecture and data stores like SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis. You’ll drive execution, mentor others, and champion operational excellence.

Modern Software Development

• Design & Build:
  Architect and implement Spring Boot microservices and RESTful APIs with best practices for domain-drive design, scalability, reliability, and maintainability.
• Event‑Driven Systems:
  Deliver features using event‑driven architecture (Kafka, SNS/SQS/Kinesis), including publish/subscribe patterns, idempotency, retries, and error handling.
• Data & Storage:
  Model schemas and access patterns for SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis; optimize for correctness, performance, and cost.

Agentic AI–First Engineering

• Develop using AI assisted‑ workflows with tools such as Git Hub Copilot, Amazon Q, and Claude to accelerate coding, refactoring, documentation, and test generation.
• Leverage agentic patterns for multistep tasks such as feature scaffolding, modernization, dependency analysis, and CI/CD interactions—with appropriate human‑in-the‑loop (HITL) controls.
• Apply AI-assisted‑ PR review and security scanning, validating suggestions with engineering judgment and secure by design principles.
• Continuously evaluate and improve how AI tools are used across the SDLC to increase throughput, quality, and developer experience.

Quality, Delivery & Operations

• Quality Engineering:
  Own testing strategy—unit, integration, and contract tests—while enforcing CI quality gates.
• CI/CD & Automation:
  Help shape next generation‑ pipelines as we transition to AWS EKS.
• Observability & SRE:
  Instrument services using New Relic; define SLIs/SLOs and participate in a minimal on-call rotation.
• Security by Design:
  Follow secure coding practices and remediate findings; PCI & SOX awareness is helpful.
• Technical Leadership:
  Lead design reviews, mentor peers, and guide pull requests with a high bar for craftsmanship.
• Operate What You Build:
  Practice build‑it/run‑it ownership from development through production.
