Job Summary
The Senior Software Engineer is a senior technical contributor responsible for the design, development, and
ongoing evolution of one of the company’s digital platform applications. This is a hands-on ownership role that
also leads a small team of 3 to 5 engineers as their technical lead: you will take an existing application, run
and improve it in its current state, and carry it forward as the underlying technology evolves, including onto
newer platforms and architectures, while setting the team’s technical direction and owning its delivery. Over
time the role also brings intelligent, AI-driven capabilities into the application to extend what it can do for
users. This is a technical leadership role rather than a people-management position; you stay deep in the
code while guiding the engineers around you. The role ensures solutions are scalable, reliable, and aligned
with enterprise IT standards while delivering high-quality code and technical solutions.

Key Responsibilities

newer platforms and architectures with minimal disruption to users
Build intelligent, AI-driven capabilities into the application, from automation of routine tasks to features
that reason over context and act on the user’s behalf
