Description
Do you have a passion for driving large-scale programs that deliver significant business impact? We are seeking a talented Software Development Engineer to lead the development of mission-critical initiatives that will transform our organization over multiple years. In this role, you will design and implement migration strategies for complex systems, collaborate across teams to ensure smooth transitions, and solve technical challenges that arise during migration execution. You'll work closely with program managers, infrastructure teams, and service owners to ensure migrations are executed safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to production systems.
The ideal candidate for this has excellent problem-solving skills, a solid understanding of computer science fundamentals, a customer-focused mindset, and a proven track record of on-time delivery. They are familiar with machine learning, service-oriented architectures, and distributed data and services
Key job responsibilities
- Design and implement end-to-end migration solutions for large, complex codebases and services, including technical planning, architecture decisions, and execution strategies.
- Partner with cross-functional teams to understand migration requirements, identify technical risks, and develop mitigation strategies before they become blockers
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to the team's technical excellence.
A day in the life
Your day might start by reviewing migration metrics and code review feedback from your team. You'll spend time designing migration approaches for a new service, documenting technical decisions and trade-offs. In the afternoon, you might pair-program with a junior engineer on a complex migration scenario, then participate in a design review to ensure solutions meet reliability and performance standards. You'll wrap up by diving into a tricky data consistency issue that emerged during testing, working through the solution with your team.
