Senior Software Engineer, Platform & Developer Experience

Responsibilities

• Conduct regular interviews with engineering teams to find pain points in their daily workflows and prioritize the creation of tools or architectural changes to eliminate them.
• Design and implement reusable patterns using Nest.js, React.js, and TypeScript that enable other engineers to ship high-quality, performant services and interfaces by default.
• Take ownership of systemic performance issues, such as optimizing slow PostgreSQL queries or refining Kafka producer/consumer patterns to ensure reliable message delivery.
• Own and evolve our Kubernetes and ArgoCD configurations to ensure seamless, automated, and safe deployments across the organization.
• Lead nebulous, cross-team technical challenges such as re-architecting shared libraries or evolving our service-to-service communication and drive them to a concrete resolution.
• Identify 'sticky' or overly complex codebases and lead the effort to refactor them into maintainable, testable, and modern modules.
• Actively mentor and coach engineers across the organization, helping them level up their technical skills and understanding of our core architecture.
• Research, prototype, and roll out new internal tools, libraries, or frameworks that improve CI/CD, local development, or system observability.
• Introduce new frameworks or architectural shifts to the team and provide the documentation, workshops, and 1:1 support needed for successful adoption.
• Lead by example in code reviews, coaching others on maintainable design, testing strategies, and system-level risk mitigation.
• Communicate complex technical trade-offs effectively across functions, using empathy and self-awareness to handle conflict and align differing perspectives.
