Original job description

About the Role

We're looking for a senior engineer who thinks clearly across the full product development lifecycle, from design through to production, and brings an AI-first mindset to how they work.

This is a hands-on, senior individual contributor role with room to grow over time for the right person. You'll design, build, and ship real systems while setting an example for engineering quality - writing code and making architectural calls that others can learn from, not just talking about best practices.

What You'll Do

Design and build backend services end to end - from requirements and architecture through implementation, testing, and delivery
Apply strong engineering fundamentals: clean design, sound architecture, and a quality-first mindset in everything you build
Champion openness and discoverability in your work - clear documentation, readable code, and decisions others can easily follow
Use AI tools as a natural part of your daily workflow to work faster and better
Review code and mentor engineers around you by example - through the quality of your work and how you approach problems
Stay organized and dependable, able to take ownership of problems and drive them to resolution
Quickly learn new parts of the stack or domain as needed, and bring that same adaptability to the team

Must-Have

6+ years of hands-on software engineering experience
Strong experience with Java and Spring Boot
Working knowledge of relational and/or NoSQL databases
A quick-learning, adaptable approach to new technology and problems
An AI-first mindset - comfortable using AI tools as part of daily engineering work
Strong organizational skills and the ability to take ownership and lead by example
Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience

Nice-to-Have

10+ years of experience, including architecture/design-level ownership
Experience with microservices or event-driven architecture
Front-end development experience (Angular, React, or similar)
Experience with cloud-native or containerized environments
Exposure to test automation practices
Experience in financial services or other regulated industries

Why Join Us

Work on systems with real scale and impact, where your contributions are visible and valued
Start as a senior individual contributor, with the opportunity to grow as you establish yourself
A team that takes engineering craft seriously and invests in how its engineers grow
The chance to shape how AI-augmented engineering is done, from the ground up
