Summary

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join a high-impact SaaS platform operating in a complex, multi-tenant environment. This role is primarily hands-on, focused on building and evolving scalable fullstack solutions, while also contributing to technical decision-making and guiding engineering best practices.

You will work across modern and legacy systems, supporting platform modernization initiatives, third-party integrations, and real-time workflows. While prior experience as a formal Tech Lead is a plus, this role requires strong technical judgment, ownership, and the ability to influence and guide other engineers through design discussions, code reviews, and architectural decisions.

Education

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.

Professional Experience

• 6+ years of professional experience in software engineering.

• Strong experience working as a senior individual contributor in fullstack environments.

• Demonstrated ability to make sound technical decisions and influence solution design within engineering teams.

Soft Skills

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

• Clear and effective communication, especially when discussing technical trade-offs.

• Ownership mindset, taking responsibility for solutions from design through production.

• Ability to collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers.

• Comfortable mentoring and providing technical guidance, even without formal leadership authority.

• Adaptable and effective when working across legacy systems and modern frameworks.

Required Skills

• Strong fullstack development experience using JavaScript/TypeScript and at least one backend language such as Ruby, Python, or Node.js.

• Hands-on experience with React and modern frameworks such as Next.js.

• Solid understanding of RESTful and GraphQL API design and implementation.

• Experience working with relational databases, including PostgreSQL, complex queries, and data modeling.

• Proven experience building and maintaining third-party API integrations, including OAuth authentication, webhooks, rate limiting, and error handling.

• Familiarity with asynchronous processing and event-driven architectures (e.g., message queues, background jobs).

• Experience working in cloud environments, preferably AWS, including services such as Lambda, SQS, S3, and CloudFront.

• Regular use of AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code) to improve development efficiency and code quality.

• Experience with version control systems and CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions).

Nice to Have Skills

• Previous experience acting as a Tech Lead or informal technical lead.

• Ruby on Rails experience (Rails 5+ / 6+).

• Serverless architectures and frameworks (AWS Lambda, Chalice, Serverless Framework).

• Experience with multi-tenant SaaS architectures and tenant isolation patterns.

• React Native (Expo) experience for mobile applications.

• Redis for caching and session management.

• Docker-based containerization and deployment workflows.

• Automated testing frameworks (RSpec, Jest, Pytest).

• Monitoring and observability tools (New Relic, CloudWatch, Amplitude).

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain fullstack features across modern and legacy components of the platform.

• Participate in technical design and architecture discussions, proposing solutions and evaluating trade-offs.

• Support the ongoing migration from a monolithic architecture to modern, scalable frameworks while maintaining platform stability.

• Build and maintain reliable integrations with external systems, ensuring data consistency and resilience.

• Provide technical guidance through code reviews, pair programming, and design feedback.

• Promote engineering best practices related to quality, performance, security, and maintainability.

• Troubleshoot and resolve complex production issues across distributed and real-time systems.

• Collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to deliver high-quality solutions aligned with business goals.
