Senior Software Engineer

About the role

The Senior Software Engineer designs, builds, and supports modern web applications using TypeScript, React, and a Node.js API tier deployed on cloud platforms. This role provides hands-on technical leadership across the full SDLC—helping teams deliver secure, scalable, and maintainable solutions—while leveraging AI-assisted engineering tools to accelerate delivery, improve quality, and strengthen consistency in implementation and documentation.

Responsibilities

• Work collaboratively with product owners, designers, and engineers (including contract and offshore developers) in an agile environment to deliver business outcomes.
• Build and support React + TypeScript user experiences and integrate them with enterprise services through a Node.js API tier and RESTful APIs.
• Design, implement, test, and document solutions using modern front-end patterns (component architecture, state management, accessibility) and API best practices (schema-first contracts, versioning, observability).
• Serve as a subject matter expert for the TypeScript/React + Node.js stack and mentor engineers on coding standards, testing strategy, and maintainable architecture.
• Recommend solutions that balance cost, business needs, performance, security, and platform impacts, including cloud and serverless design considerations.
• Utilize third-party frameworks, open-source libraries, and APIs to accelerate delivery and improve reliability of both UI and API implementations.
• Apply AI-assisted engineering (e.g., AI copilots/IDEs) to speed up development tasks such as scaffolding, refactoring, test generation, documentation, and code review support—while ensuring human validation, security, and adherence to engineering standards.
• Stay current on front-end and Node ecosystem advances and rapidly learn new tools, frameworks, and cloud capabilities to support the environment and deliverables.
• Assist with technical presentations and lead development meetings as needed.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science (or related technical discipline) or equivalent practical experience.
• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong hands-on development in TypeScript.
• Strong proficiency with React and modern front-end engineering practices (component design, hooks, state management patterns, performance optimization, and testing).
• Experience building and operating a Node.js API tier (RESTful services, integration patterns, authentication/authorization, and API documentation such as OpenAPI/Swagger).
• Knowledge of database concepts and data modeling (relational and/or NoSQL) and how to design data access patterns that support scalable APIs.
• Working understanding of cloud services (AWS and/or Azure) and common supporting tools used to deploy, monitor, and operate modern applications.
• Experience with build, test, and deployment tooling and modern DevOps practices (CI/CD pipelines, source control, automated testing).
• Familiarity with containers and orchestration (Docker/Kubernetes/OpenShift) and/or serverless patterns depending on platform needs.
• Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and technical communication; able to prioritize work to meet tight deadlines.

Preferred Qualifications

• Practical experience with AI-assisted development workflows (e.g., using AI tools for spec-driven development, code generation, test creation, and “docs as code”), with an emphasis on safe usage, review discipline, and measurable productivity improvements.
• Experience with real-time or event-driven patterns (WebSockets, streaming, messaging) and modern integration architectures.
• Cloud or platform certifications (AWS / Microsoft).
• Experience in financial services or regulated environments, including security and compliance considerations in UI/API delivery.
