About the role

As a Senior Software Engineer II, you'll lead the delivery of high-quality solutions on one of these teams. You'll design the core capabilities and APIs that support one or more of our products, and the lightweight interfaces (e.g. web, browser extension) built on top of them. You'll set patterns the rest of the team builds on, influence architecture, and mentor the engineers around you.

What you will do

  • Lead delivery of secure, high-quality, performant code, and build reusable solutions for others to use.
  • Drive design: define patterns, run design reviews, and shape our architecture.
  • Improve how we test, automate, and deliver code.
  • Strengthen security, performance, and reliability, and lead root-cause analysis on production issues.
  • Mentor other engineers on the team.

Who You Are

  • An experienced engineer with a track record of leading delivery and shaping design within a team.
  • Built and operated production services and APIs.
  • Hands-on with cloud infrastructure on AWS (preferred) or Google Cloud, especially containerized workloads.
  • Advanced problem-solving and communication; comfortable working directly with stakeholders.
  • Use AI coding agents effectively in your day-to-day work, with the judgment to know when to use them and when not to.

Nice to Haves

  • Built LLM-powered applications (prompting, retrieval/RAG, evaluations, agents, MCP).
  • Familiarity with AWS Bedrock or other model-hosting platforms.
  • Infrastructure-as-code with AWS CDK.
  • Frontend development with TypeScript and React.
  • Document-processing, OCR, or data-extraction experience.
