What you'll do

• Design, develop, and maintain robust, high-performance services and applications, contributing to end-to-end feature delivery across multiple domains.
• Implement clean, testable code, including system design (low-level design), API design, and data modeling, ensuring solutions are scalable, secure, and maintainable.
• Collaborate with peers, product, and operations teams to translate business and customer requirements into technical solutions, using data and metrics to guide decisions.
• Own the full software development lifecycle for your services, including code reviews, automated testing, deployment, monitoring, and operational support in production environments.
• Safely integrate and operate AI/ML-enabled solutions that improve outcomes, including familiarity with AI-driven systems, tools, or workflows and applying AI/ML concepts to real world products.
• Contribute to shared platforms, libraries, and patterns that can be reused across teams, increasing engineering efficiency and enabling fungibility across multiple product and service areas.

What you'll need

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related technical field; or equivalent related professional experience.
• 2+ years of relevant professional experience.
• Hands-on experience with object-oriented and functional programming languages, such as Kotlin, Java, or similar.
• Experience with data structures and algorithms.
• Experience with core software engineering practices such as code reviews, unit/integration testing, CI/CD, and observability.
• Demonstrated ability to design and implement service- or API-based solutions, including basic data modeling and system design within a single service or small set of services.
• Experience collaborating in an agile environment, owning features from design through deployment, and supporting them in production within a team or product area.

Nice to have

• Experience designing and evolving service architectures, including thoughtful low-level design, API contracts, and data models that support reliability, performance, and extensibility.
• Proven experience operating systems at scale, including monitoring, alerting, incident response, and continuous improvement of reliability, latency, and cost.
• Track record of using data and experimentation to drive engineering decisions, optimize user experiences, and improve system behavior.
• Familiarity with AI-driven systems, tools, or workflows and applying AI/ML concepts to real world products, including safely integrating AI/ML-enabled capabilities into existing services.
• Experience contributing to technical direction within a team through code and design feedback, and applying modern engineering practices, such as automation, security-by-design, and performance tuning, to elevate overall code quality.
