Senior Software Engineer

About this role

LOCATION: Remote

REPORTS TO: Lead Software Engineer

KEY RELATIONSHIPS AND TEAM:

The Senior Software Engineer reports to the Lead Engineer and sits within the Dev Team, working closely alongside the product team on day-to-day delivery. The role partners with the Architect on technical design and architecture decisions, translating agreed designs into implementation guidance for the rest of the team, and collaborates with the UX Designer during design handoff to flag feasibility, accessibility, and design-system considerations early. During production incidents, this person engages directly with the Helpdesk, QA, and Ops, and interfaces with external entities such as Lenders and Integrators when issues touch their systems. On the release side, the role coordinates with the SRE team and escalates offshore code-migration issues to the Lead Engineer rather than managing that coordination independently. As a senior member of the team, this person is coached by the Lead Engineer, the Architect, the UX Designer, and other engineers, and in turn mentors junior and mid-level engineers through pull request review and coaching them on when to trust, and when to override, AI-generated code.

THE OPPORTUNITY:

The Senior Software Engineer will take ownership of feature delivery from technical approach through production, working with a high degree of autonomy on requirements. This is a hands-on engineering role that spans the full lifecycle: designing and building end-to-end features, writing unit tests and validating non-functional requirements (performance, security, reliability) before handoff to QA, and serving as the senior escalation point for production issues, performing root cause analysis and communicating findings clearly to both Ops and non-technical stakeholders during live incidents. The role also carries release responsibility, executing deployments against the scope and branch plan the Lead Engineer sets and monitoring for early signs of reg...
