As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll be a technical leader on the team — owning the design and delivery of complex, high-scale backend services and integrations that power multi-channel ecommerce. You'll set architectural direction, take on our hardest problems, and mentor other engineers, all while staying hands-on in the code.

• Own ambiguous, high-impact problems end-to-end — breaking them down and driving them to delivery.

• Champion reliability, observability, automation, and operational excellence.

• Partner closely with Product, Data, Infrastructure, and other engineering teams.

• Stay hands-on: write high-quality, maintainable, well-tested code.

What experiences will help you in this role:

• 7+ years of backend software engineering experience.

• Deep system design and distributed systems expertise — you've designed and owned systems at scale.

• A track record of technical leadership: mentoring engineers, influencing architecture, and setting engineering standards.

• Excellent problem-solving skills, a strong sense of ownership, and comfort with ambiguity.

• Strong with cloud infrastructure (AWS or Azure), microservices, and event-driven architecture.

• Strong debugging, testing, and documentation skills.

• Excellent communication and cross-team collaboration.

• Nice-to-have: experience with high-throughput or marketplace/ecommerce systems.
