Software Engineer II

Description

We are seeking a Software Engineer II to join our team. This is a hybrid opportunity out of our Waltham, MA office.

Duties And Responsibilities

• Build and ship features across the entire application stack - from backend services and APIs to polished React user interfaces.
• Design, develop, test, deploy, and maintain secure, scalable, and reliable cloud-native applications with built-in observability, monitoring, and diagnostics.
• Develop backend services using Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, PostgreSQL, AWS, and Kubernetes.
• Build modern, responsive user experiences using React and contemporary frontend development practices.
• Own features from design through production, collaborating with teammates every step of the way.
• Bring your ideas to the table. Whether it's improving an API, simplifying an architecture, or introducing a new technology, your voice matters.
• Participate in code reviews that focus on learning, collaboration, and raising the quality bar—not just finding mistakes.
• Investigate production issues, identify root causes, and help build solutions that last.
• Collaborate closely with Product Management and cross-functional teams to turn customer needs into elegant technical solutions.
• Continuously improve our build, test, and deployment pipelines by diagnosing build failures, strengthening test reliability, and addressing CI/CD and environment issues.
• Leverage AI throughout the software development lifecycle—from design and implementation to testing, debugging, documentation, and code reviews—to improve productivity while applying sound engineering judgment to every solution.
• Stay curious. Technology moves quickly, and we encourage experimenting with new ideas, frameworks, and tools that help us build better software.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 2–5 years of professional software development experience.
• Experience developing applications using Java and Spring Boot.
• Experience building modern web applications using React.
• Experience designing and consuming REST APIs.
• Working knowledge of relational databases such as PostgreSQL.
• Experience building or deploying applications in AWS or another cloud platform.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes and containerized applications.
• Experience working with distributed systems or event-driven architectures (Kafka is a plus).
• Experience using Git, CI/CD pipelines, and modern software development practices.
• Proven ability to quickly ramp up on new products, technical domains, and business context while adapting to evolving engineering practices and operating models.
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with microservices architectures.
• Experience with observability, monitoring, or production support.
• Experience using AI-assisted development tools to improve engineering productivity.
• Contributions to open-source projects, technical blogs, hackathons, or personal software projects.
