Senior Software Engineer

An established name in online retail technology is expanding its product engineering team and wants someone who can move fluidly across the stack, from the services that power day-to-day transactions down into the data feeding them. This isn't a rebuild-from-scratch situation; it's a chance to shape how a platform that already serves a large customer footprint keeps evolving, using modern tooling (including AI-assisted coding) alongside solid engineering fundamentals.

Senior Backend Engineer

Location: Sacramento (Hybrid)

Type: Full-time

Salary: $150–180k (DOE) + Bonus and Benefits

What the role involves

• Owning meaningful parts of a large-scale production system used by a substantial customer base
• Building services and integrations that other teams and downstream systems depend on
• Getting hands-on with the data side (pipelines, storage, performance) and not just application code
• Sitting in on architecture and design conversations, and helping newer engineers grow

Background that fits

• Several years (5+) as an engineer at a product or technology company
• Cloud platform experience, ideally within the Microsoft ecosystem, plus comfort with containerized environments
• Fluency in more than one modern programming language, with Python and Java both in the mix
• A track record with relational databases and structured data at scale
• Curiosity about applying AI tooling to real, ongoing engineering work rather than side projects
• Retail, ecommerce, or high-transaction-volume experience is a nice-to-have, not a requirement
