Job Description
Role Overview :
We are looking for a Sr. Software Engineer to join our Core Integrations team. You will design, build, and scale the integration platform that connects our product ecosystem with third-party systems and you will do it with AI as a first-class tool throughout your workflow.
Core Technical Requirements :
- Java (Advanced): 6+ years of production Java experience. Deep knowledge of JVM internals, concurrency, memory management, and the Java ecosystem (Spring Boot, Hibernate, Maven/Gradle). Comfortable writing idiomatic, performant, maintainable Java code without hand-holding.
- Integration Patterns: Solid understanding of REST, GraphQL, gRPC, webhooks, event-driven architecture (Kafka, SQS, etc.), and common data formats (JSON, XML, Avro, Protobuf). Experience building and maintaining APIs consumed by external partners.
- Distributed Systems: Working knowledge of microservice design, fault tolerance patterns (circuit breakers, retries, idempotency), and observability (structured logging, tracing, metrics).
- Data Storage: Experience with relational databases (schema design, query optimization, migrations) and familiarity with NoSQL stores.
AI Adoption Across the SDLC :
This is not optional we expect SSE to model strong AI-augmented engineering practice:
- Uses AI coding assistants (e.g., Claude Code, Copilot) fluently for code generation, refactoring, and debugging not just autocomplete.
- Writes and iterates on prompts to produce high-quality, review-ready code and tests.
- Applies AI in design: uses LLMs to explore architectural tradeoffs, draft tech specs, generate ADRs, and sanity-check approaches.
- Integrates AI into testing: generates comprehensive test suites, edge-case matrices, and fuzz inputs.
- Uses AI for operations: log analysis, alert triage, root-cause summarization, runbook generation.
- Understands the limits of AI output reviews critically, catches hallucinations, and does not ship AI-generated code without verification.
Adaptability Polyglot Engineering :
- Python : Comfortable reading, writing, and shipping Python particularly for scripting, data pipelines, or ML-adjacent tooling. No need to be an expert, but must be willing to own Python services without friction.
- Polyglot mindset : Picks up new languages and frameworks as the job demands. Evaluates the right tool for the problem rather than defaulting to comfort.
- Infrastructure awareness : Familiar with cloud-native deployment (AWS/GCP/Azure), containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and CI/CD pipelines.
Engineering Excellence :
- Ownership : Takes end-to-end accountability for features from requirements to rollout to monitoring. Does not need a manager to define done.
- Technical leadership : Drives design reviews, writes clear tech specs, mentors IC2/IC3 engineers, and raises the quality bar for the team.
- Collaboration : Works closely with product, data, and partner teams to understand integration requirements and translate them into robust technical solutions.
- Reliability focus : Thinks about failure modes first. Instruments everything. On-call capable and takes SLAs seriously.
- Communication : Can explain complex integration problems to non-technical stakeholders without losing accuracy.
Nice to Have :
- Experience with CRM/MarTech integrations (Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo, etc.) or B2B data platforms.
- Familiarity with OAuth, SAML, or enterprise authentication patterns.
- Contributions to open-source projects or public technical writing.
- Experience in a team that ships ML-powered features or works alongside a data science team.
