About the role

Software Engineering
As Senior Software Engineer you work mainly as an individual contributor who writes good code and tests with little to no guidance, leaving code better than you found it. You debug and troubleshoot production issues capably, while gaining versatility with broader knowledge of technologies of our systems. Write automated tests and develop monitoring strategies to ensure a high level of service quality. Craft new features that help users more easily navigate government services and receive a dignified experience. Implement minimal features to maximize learning, and then harden features to scale when we know they work. Design and deliver clean, reliable, and maintainable solutions to user problems that keep communication high and the cost of change low.

Documentation & Project Management
You’re skilled at breaking down, estimating, and prioritizing tasks and have a good architectural/systems perspective. You are a trusted partner who can reliably own and deliver on medium to large sized projects and consistently demonstrate sound judgment when assessing tradeoffs and prioritization.

Cross-functional Collaboration
You enjoy passing knowledge onto others in your team, at times serving as a mentor to more junior engineers in the team.
