Software Engineer II

Uses AI-assisted tools for coding, debugging, and testing and mentions MCP/AI-integrated full-stack services.

As a Software Engineer II you will design, build, and operate secure, event-driven full-stack services and platform infrastructure in Type Script on AWS. You will own services in production—implementing infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, observability, and automated testing—while using AI tools to accelerate development and debugging.

You will be a hands‑on platform engineer responsible for designing and building secure, scalable full‑stack services and platform components. The team focuses on event‑driven microservices in Type Script on AWS and treats infrastructure as code with high rigor. Engineers are expected to ship, support, and continuously improve services they own in production.

• Design and build secure, scalable services using AWS serverless technologies (Lambda, SQS, API Gateway) with event‑driven patterns and strong observability.
• Own services in production: implement monitoring and alerting, respond to incidents, and maintain operational health.
• Build infrastructure as code (AWS CDK, Terraform) and maintain CI/CD pipelines to ship frequently and safely.
• Design and maintain well‑constructed RESTful APIs with clear contracts and sane versioning.
• Write tests (unit, integration, end‑to‑end) as part of development.
• Participate in architecture discussions and produce documentation and design rationale.
• Use AI‑assisted tools for coding, debugging, testing, and research while validating outputs yourself.

• 2–3 years of professional software engineering experience in an agile, full‑stack‑focused environment.
• Solid full‑stack fundamentals: request life cycles, data persistence, error handling, readable code.
• Comfortable with Node.js/Type Script and SQL.
• Testing mindset with experience across unit, integration, and end‑to‑end testing.
• Cloud awareness (AWS preferred) and experience with managed services and scalability concerns.
• CI/CD fundamentals and frequent production shipping experience.
• Familiarity with infrastructure‑as‑code concepts; hands‑on experience with Terraform or AWS CDK is a bonus.
• Comfortable using AI tools to accelerate development and able to critically evaluate their output.
• Strong ownership mindset from code through deployment to operational stability.

• Hands‑on experience with AWS serverless services (Lambda, S3, SQS, DynamoDB).
• Practical experience with Terraform, AWS CDK, or similar IaC tools.
• Familiarity with event‑driven architectures and platform patterns (event buses, pub/sub, Event Bridge).
• Experience with identity/entitlement systems (OAuth 2.0, SCIM, OIDC).
• Familiarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol) or other AI‑integrated full‑stack patterns.
• Prior work on multi‑tenant SaaS platforms.

This role follows a hybrid work model. The company is headquartered in New York with global office hubs; if you are within commuting distance of a Diligent office you are expected to work onsite at least 50% of the time.

• Flexible work environment and hybrid model
• Generous time off policy and meeting‑free days
• Wellness programs and global days of service
• Global office hubs and international collaboration
