About the Role
We’re looking for several Senior Software Engineers to join an AI leader in governance, risk, and compliance. You’ll be building software that matters, taking real technical ownership, and using modern AI tooling to do your best work. This is a hands-on senior engineering role for someone who enjoys solving complex product problems, shaping robust solutions, and helping teams deliver reliable services at scale. They’re looking for you to be in the office 2/3 times a week.
Key Responsibilities
You’ll work on secure, scalable microservices and APIs using TypeScript, AWS, and modern engineering practices. You’ll play a leading role within a collaborative product engineering team, owning complex features end to end, contributing to design and architectural decisions, supporting production systems, and helping raise the bar across backend, cloud, and AI-assisted development workflows.
Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll do, not all of it, just the important stuff:
- Own and deliver complex backend services and APIs using Node.js, TypeScript, and AWS, from technical design through release and production support.
- Contribute to design and architecture discussions, making pragmatic decisions that balance delivery speed, maintainability, scalability, and security.
- Mentor and support less experienced engineers through code reviews, pairing, technical guidance, and day-to-day collaboration.
- Work closely with product managers, designers, and engineers across the team to turn requirements into practical, reliable solutions.
- Use AI tools to accelerate coding, debugging, testing, research, and documentation, while validating outputs carefully and applying sound judgment.
- Strengthen service reliability, observability, and engineering quality by improving monitoring, incident response, testing, and development practices.
