Advisor, Software Development Engineering

Overview

Lead the design and delivery of scalable, highly available software solutions while remaining hands-on across architecture, coding, and production support.

What you'll do

• Design, build, and launch high-scale, highly available software services that support critical business and customer needs.
• Work across multiple technology stacks such as Java, .NET, or similar platforms, applying strong engineering fundamentals and technology-agnostic problem solving.
• Lead hands-on architecture, design, and implementation efforts for complex systems, ensuring scalability, resilience, performance, and maintainability.
• Apply deep knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and distributed system design to solve complex technical and production challenges.
• Drive a high bar for engineering quality through design reviews, code reviews, technical guidance, and practical improvement of development standards.
• Leverage appropriate AI-assisted engineering tools to improve developer productivity, delivery speed, and measurable execution outcomes.
• Work backward from customer needs to define technical solutions that improve user experience, reliability, and business value with strong end-to-end ownership.
• Provide principal engineer or architect-level technical guidance while remaining a hands-on builder who supports team delivery at scale.
• Partner with engineering teams to improve cloud-native development patterns, architecture decisions, and operational readiness across services.
• Lead deep-dive troubleshooting and resolution of complex production issues, helping teams restore service and improve long-term system reliability.
• Inspire engineering teams through practical execution, strong technical judgment, and a bias for action in solving meaningful customer and platform challenges.

What you'll need

• 7+ years of experience in software engineering, systems engineering, or related technical disciplines building and supporting enterprise-scale applications or services.
• 7+ years of experience designing, developing, and launching high-scale, highly available services in production environments.
• Experience working across multiple technology stacks such as Java, .NET, or similar platforms with strong command of software engineering fundamentals, data structures, and algorithms.
• Experience with system architecture, distributed systems design, cloud-native development, and resilient service design in modern cloud environments.
• Experience conducting architecture reviews, design reviews, and code reviews that improve engineering quality, scalability, and maintainability.
• Experience troubleshooting complex production issues and leading technical deep dives that improve service reliability and customer outcomes.
• Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or related field or equivalent combination of education, related experience and/or military experience.

Nice to have

• Experience using AI-assisted engineering tools to improve productivity, development quality, or delivery speed.
• Experience guiding engineering teams as a principal engineer, architect, or technical lead without direct people management responsibility.
• Experience in financial services, payments, or other high-availability regulated environments.
• Experience mentoring engineers on design quality, operational excellence, and customer-focused delivery.

Details

• On-site Monday through Friday.
