- Communicate technical plans, architectural decisions, risks, and recommendations clearly to both technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
- Provide technical guidance, mentorship, and coaching to other engineers through pairing, design discussions, and code reviews.
- Collaborate across engineering teams to solve shared technical challenges, promote consistent practices, and advance broader platform capabilities.
- Evaluate emerging technologies and development tools, including AI-enabled engineering tools, and identify opportunities to improve software delivery and developer effectiveness.
We’re looking for someone who has:
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, software engineering, information systems, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including experience independently solving complex technical problems and influencing technical direction.
- Strong proficiency in at least one modern programming language, such as Java, TypeScript, Go, Python, C#, or a comparable language.
- Experience designing, developing, integrating, and maintaining APIs, services, distributed systems, or modern software applications.
- Experience working with databases and applying software design, architecture, testing, and development best practices.
- Proven ability to provide technical leadership, evaluate tradeoffs, and influence the direction of complex, cross-functional initiatives.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to bring structure and sound technical judgment to ambiguous challenges.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills, including experience working effectively across remote and geographically dispersed teams.
- Ability to travel occasionally, up to 15%, based on business needs
Highly preferred candidates also have:
- Experience designing and maintaining microservices or distributed systems.
- Experience with cloud platforms, containerization, and orchestration technologies, particularly AWS, Docker, or Kubernetes.
- Experience with technologies commonly used within SageSure’s software environment, including Java, Spring Boot, and Temporal.
