The Senior Software Developer is a hands-on technical contributor responsible for designing, building, modernizing, migrating, deploying, and maintaining high-quality software solutions across client and internal initiatives. This role balances strong software engineering fundamentals with practical Google Cloud Platform experience, including application modernization, cloud migration support, cloud-native delivery, and modern Dev Ops practices. Success requires depth in at least one primary programming language, strong application design and testing discipline, and the ability to deliver reliable applications and services that operate effectively in cloud environments.
They will be expected to operate with a high degree of autonomy, contribute to architectural and technical decisions, mentor engineers, and actively improve delivery, reliability, and operational excellence across teams.

Top 3 Hiring Priorities
Strong software engineering fundamentals and depth in a primary language (e.g., Java, Python, C#, JavaScript/Type Script), demonstrated through clean design, maintainable code, testability, API development, performance awareness, and sound technical trade-offs.
Practical Google Cloud Platform migration and modernization experience, including assessing existing applications, supporting migration planning, adapting workloads for Google Cloud, and helping teams move from legacy or on-premises environments to cloud-ready architectures.
Balanced delivery across application development and Dev Ops practices, including CI/CD, automated testing, Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, containers, Kubernetes/GKE, and operational practices that support reliable production software.

Core Responsibilities
Design, implement, test, and maintain production-grade software systems aligned with business and technical requirements.
Build and enhance applications, APIs, services, integrations, and data access layers with attention to clean architecture, maintainability, security, performance, and cloud readiness.
Contribute across the full software development lifecycle, including analysis, design, estimation, development, testing, deployment, and support.
Support Google Cloud Platform migration and application modernization efforts by analyzing existing systems, identifying refactoring needs, adapting services for cloud deployment, and validating migrated workloads.
Collaborate with Dev Ops, platform, and cloud migration teams to improve CI/CD, deployment automation, infrastructure-enabled delivery, and repeatable migration patterns using tools such as Terraform, containers, and Kubernetes/GKE.
Actively participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and technical decision-making, providing clear rationale and trade-off analysis.
Mentor junior and mid-level developers through code reviews, pairing, and technical guidance.
Contribute to continuous improvement of engineering practices, including automation, cloud readiness, operational maturity, and supportability.

Technical Profile - Required Strengths
Software Engineering Expertise
Very strong expertise in at least one primary programming language, such as:
o Java, C#, Python, JavaScript/Type Script, or equivalent
Demonstrated ability to design clean, maintainable, well tested codebases, including strong familiarity with automated testing (unit/integration) and ownership of component level test strategy for the systems they build and support.
Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals, including:
o Data structures and algorithms
o API design and integration
o Modular and layered architectures
o Object-oriented, functional, and service-oriented design patterns
o Performance and scalability considerations
o Debugging, refactoring, code review, and technical debt reduction

Application Breadth
Strong preference for backend and cloud-native development experience, with hands-on work across:
o APIs, services, integrations, and data access layers
o Cloud-hosted application components and distributed service patterns
o Containerized application delivery and runtime considerations
Front-end experience is a plus, but this role is primarily focused on backend, API, service, and cloud-enabled application…
