About the Role

As an Senior Software Engineer, you will be a core contributor to our proprietary e-commerce software platform — the system our customers trust every day.

You will work within a collaborative, cross-functional engineering team, taking ownership of features and services across our microservices architecture, from design through deployment and operation. We're looking for engineers who are curious, pragmatic, and comfortable navigating a large, evolving codebase — and who embrace modern AI-assisted development practices to move faster and smarter.

Responsibilities

  • Take ownership of components within our microservices architecture — design, develop, enhance, and maintain them with quality and reliability in mind.
  • Translate business and product requirements (sometimes ambiguous) into clean, well-structured technical solutions.
  • Estimate work effort and contribute meaningfully to project planning and delivery timelines.
  • Dive into a large, multi-service codebase quickly — comprehend existing patterns and begin contributing in a short ramp-up period.
  • Collaborate with engineers across teams to identify gaps, surface risks early, and drive technical decisions to resolution.
  • Write unit and integration tests; uphold code quality standards through code reviews and automation.
  • Support production systems and assist our 3-tier support staff when incidents arise.
  • Proactively use AI developer tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor) to accelerate development, improve code quality, and reduce repetitive work.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

Required Qualifications

  • 6–8+ years of professional software development experience in a multi-team environment.
  • .NET Framework / .NET Core / C# – developing APIs, services, and back-end business logic.
  • React – Understanding & hands on component-driven front-end applications.
  • Cloud – Microsoft Azure – working knowledge of Azure services (App Services, Azure SQL, Storage, Service Bus, or equivalent).
  • Databases – proficiency with SQL Server and/or PostgreSQL; experience with schema design, query optimization, and performance tuning.
  • RESTful API design – building and consuming well-structured, versioned APIs.
  • Solid understanding of Agile / Scrum practices and the full software development lifecycle.
  • Containers – hands-on experience with Docker; familiarity with container orchestration concepts.
  • Demonstrated use of AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor, or similar) as part of everyday engineering workflow.

Nice-to-Have Skills

  • Ability to learn and adapt to newer patterns and technologies as the landscape evolves. 
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions).
  • Familiarity with Kubernetes or Azure Container Apps.
  • Exposure to event-driven architecture or message brokers (e.g., Azure Service Bus, Kafka)

What We're Looking For in You

  • You take ownership — you don't wait for perfect requirements before making progress.
  • You communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • You care about the quality of your work, not just getting it done.
  • You're comfortable with ambiguity and know when to escalate vs. self-solve.
  • You're genuinely curious about emerging tools and technologies, including AI, and look for ways to apply them practically.
