Software Engineer III

Responsibilities

• Take ownership of the development and rollout of entire products or large projects, particularly those involving backend services, C++ modernization efforts, and complex third-party integrations.
• Enforce department coding standards and best practices, with a strong emphasis on TypeScript, Node.js, API design, and secure integration patterns, while contributing to the modernization of legacy C++ systems.
• Demonstrate effective and efficient project management skills, ensuring successful delivery of integration-heavy initiatives and legacy-to-modern platform migrations.
• Write technical specifications, including API contracts, integration patterns, and modernization approaches for legacy C++ systems; identify project and programming risks, particularly related to third-party dependencies and system interoperability.
• Champion processes and technologies (Agile, CI/CD, service-oriented architecture) while coaching colleagues on backend development, integration practices, and modernization strategies.
• Apply knowledge of TypeScript, Node.js, and related backend technologies effectively; demonstrate working familiarity with C++ and the ability to support, maintain, and modernize existing systems.
• Provide proactive investigation, problem-solving, and thought leadership, particularly in integration design, system interoperability, and strategies for migrating legacy platforms to modern architectures within the online banking domain.
• Offer coaching and mentorship to less experienced Software Engineers, especially in building scalable services, managing complex integrations, and navigating legacy-to-modern transitions.

Requirements

• Accredited university, college, or trade school education and training in applicable technology; advanced degrees or relevant certifications preferred.
• 7+ years of successful, relevant software engineering experience, with a strong focus on backend service development and complex system integrations.
• Advanced proficiency with C++, experience with TypeScript and Node.js, including modern backend development patterns, scalable service design, and application performance considerations.
• Experience designing, building, testing, debugging, and maintaining scalable applications and services in a production environment.
• Experience with financial systems, core banking platforms, online banking ecosystems, APIs, or third-party vendor integrations strongly preferred.
• Working familiarity with C++ codebases, including the ability to support, maintain, and contribute to modernization of legacy systems.
• Experience with API design, API contracts, third-party integrations, vendor dependencies, and system interoperability.
• Ability to work within complex sections of major applications, preferably within online banking, financial technology, or other highly integrated enterprise environments.
• Experience contributing to legacy-to-modern platform migrations, service-oriented architectures, CI/CD practices, and Agile development environments.
• Proven ability to take ownership of large projects or product rollouts and manage delivery effectively across technical and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Ability to coach, mentor, and support less experienced engineers in backend development, integration practices, and modernization strategies.
