Senior. Software Engineer - II

Department: Technology and Development

Experience Level: 5-8 years L3

Role Summary

The Sr. Software Engineer - II builds and maintains software features as part of an agile engineering pod. This is a senior individual-contributor role combining deep hands-on delivery with informal technical leadership and mentoring.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, and maintain application features across the full stack (or assigned layer) per sprint commitments
• Write clean, well-tested, maintainable code following team coding standards and design patterns
• Participate in code reviews - both giving and receiving feedback - to uphold quality standards
• Debug and resolve defects across development, QA, and production environments
• Collaborate with QA/Automation Engineers to ensure adequate test coverage before release
• Contribute to technical documentation (design notes, API docs, runbooks) for owned components
• Participate in sprint ceremonies (planning, stand-ups, retrospectives) and provide accurate effort estimates
• Lead design discussions for medium-complexity features and review peers designs
• Mentor Software Engineers and Sr. Software Engineers - I through pairing and code review
• Identify and drive resolution of recurring technical debt or architectural friction

Required Skills & Technical Competencies

• Strong programming fundamentals in more than one modern language, with Java and JavaScript required (C#, Python, or TypeScript as an additional plus)
• Frontend proficiency (HTML/CSS/JavaScript with a component framework such as React or Angular) or strong backend API development, depending on assignment - beyond basics, with the depth to make design trade-offs
• RESTful API design, consumption, and versioning, with strong command of JSON-based data exchange and contract design
• Strong relational database skills (SQL, indexing, query optimization) and working knowledge of NoSQL data stores
• Version control with Git and standard branching workflows (GitFlow/trunk-based)
• Strong testing discipline across unit, integration, and regression testing, with ownership of coverage as part of the definition of done
• Good working knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP) and containerization concepts (Docker), with the ability to design for cloud-native deployment - not just basic familiarity
• Effective, responsible use of AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, ChatGPT/Claude) to accelerate delivery while understanding and validating generated code rather than blindly trusting it
• Advanced system design skills (scalability, caching, async processing, distributed systems trade-offs)
• Ability to evaluate and recommend libraries/frameworks for new requirements
• Comfortable representing engineering in cross-functional design discussions with Product/BA

Preferred / Nice-to-Have Skills

• Exposure to microservices or event-driven systems
• Experience working in a client-facing consulting/staffing environment
• Interest in one specialization track (data, DevOps, AI) for future growth

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience)
• 5-8 years of hands-on software development experience

Key Competencies

• Strong learning agility and receptiveness to feedback
• Clear communication of technical progress and blockers
• Ownership mindset over assigned tasks
• Collaborative, team-first attitude
