Come join our team where you’ll make technology happen in surprising ways. Let’s shape tomorrow - it’ll be a fun journey!

Join our team as an experienced software engineer, where you'll play a pivotal role in developing, modifying, and updating complex and highly powerful systems using modern tools, techniques, and methods. Our customers and partners count on us to deliver applications that make it easy for them to operate and expand their businesses, and we're looking for someone who thrives in this fast-paced, innovative environment.

We're seeking a software engineer with a demonstrated ability to learn quickly and a passion for pushing boundaries as part of an Agile SCRUM team. In this role, you'll be expected to leverage your strong problem-solving skills, collaborate openly within the team, and communicate effectively as you deliver well-designed, efficient, and thoroughly tested software to ensure a seamless user experience. Innovative thinking and a focus on performance are essential to providing our customers with the best possible results.

Your responsibilities will include designing, developing, testing, debugging, and implementing operating systems components, software tools, and utilities. You'll determine system software design requirements, generate engineering policies and procedures, and ensure successful implementation of system improvements for maximum efficiency. Managing large projects or processes with limited oversight, you'll also coach, review, and delegate work to lower-level professionals, while serving as a mentor and trainer to other engineers.

Hands-on experience with the construction of complex engineering solutions and a solid grasp of software development methodologies are key. You'll take end-to-end ownership of solutions, including developing automation for testing and supporting other critical quality aspects. Working closely with product owners and Agile SCRUM team members, you'll help shape new features and user stories, participate in code reviews, and assist with establishing and maintaining coding standards. Engaging in all Agile ceremonies and demonstrating a true DevOps mindset, you and the team will be accountable for products from inception to sunset.

You'll also respond to support incidents for production applications, ensuring quick repairs to minimize outages, and create or update documentation such as specifications, implementation guides, architecture diagrams, and design documents. Sharing knowledge across the team, you'll demonstrate excellent communication, effective collaboration, strong time management, and the ability to translate customer and business needs into technical solutions while remaining resilient to change.

You'll also have the opportunity to establish user personas in collaboration with product management, work independently with minimal supervision, provide guidance to associate engineers, participate in Quarterly Architecture Summits, and lead or support multiple challenging projects at once, always maintaining a holistic view without losing sight of the details.

What you bring to the role:

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related science/math discipline with an IT emphasis (or a master’s degree with relevant experience)

• 10 - 15 years of technical experience (or 7-9 years with a master’s), including 5+ years in web services development as a full stack/integration developer

• Strong background in Java 8 and beyond, with experience developing REST APIs using Spring Boot

• Solid knowledge of JPA, Hibernate, JDBC, Junit, Maven, SonarQube, and relational databases

• Familiarity with Agile management tools (like Confluence, JIRA, VersionOne), version control (Bitbucket, Git, SVN), and web services/serialization (XML, JSON, SOAP, REST)

• Hands-on experience with GCP, log management/APM tools (Splunk, DataDog), and application of design patterns and non-functional qualities (resilience, maintainability)

• Familiarity with Python, NodeJS, Bootstrap, Material-UI, and test automation for front-end is a plus
