Responsibilities

The Senior Software Engineer is a highly capable individual contributor who operates with a high degree of autonomy, owns complex technical problems end-to-end, and elevates the quality and effectiveness of the entire team without formal people management.

This role represents the transition from task-based execution to system-level thinking, ownership, and leadership through influence. Senior Engineers are expected to solve ambiguous problems, mentor others, and shape how solutions are designed — not just how they are implemented. The Senior Engineer is expected to have strong proficiency in the team's primary tech stack, solid understanding of system design principle, comfort with APIs, integrations and distributed systems and strong testing, debugging and performance optimization skills.
