Employees living more than 50 miles from an office location will work with their manager to determine in-office time based on business need.

Your Work

In this role, you will:

  • Own the end-to-end design and delivery of complex application features across UI, API, and data layers, ensuring scalability, security, and alignment with architectural standards
  • Develop secure, testable, and maintainable code aligned with modern architectural patterns.
  • Lead implementation of system integrations and data models for distributed systems, addressing complexity, edge cases, and performance considerations
  • Ensure applications are cloud-ready and compatible with established CI/CD workflows
  • Contribute to application logging, monitoring, and diagnostics to support operational visibility.
  • Leverage AI tools to enhance productivity, code quality, and documentation, while critically applying outputs
  • Partner closely with cross-functional teams to translate ambiguous requirements into scalable technical solutions, providing technical guidance and design input to peers
  • Provide technical guidance and informal mentorship to less experienced resources through design and code reviews
  • Embed security throughout the SDLC by applying secure coding practices, secrets management, least-privilege access, and remediating vulnerabilities identified by scanning tools
  • Define and evolve API contracts (REST/GraphQL), including versioning, backward compatibility, documentation, and consumer-driven integration patterns
  • Plan and execute safe database changes (migrations, indexing, query optimization) while maintaining data integrity, lineage, and observability for critical data flows
