At its core, the Senior Software Engineer is an engineering role. As part of an agile development team they design, develop, and deliver new products and features, as well as modify and maintain our existing products. But we expect more of our senior engineers.

To be successful as a Senior Software Engineer, you should be able to drive the software change and release management processes, assist with the overall maturity of the software development lifecycle, and recruit, develop and retain software engineering talent. As a top-notch Senior Software Engineer, you will ensure that software deliverables comply with quality standards and that every update adds value to the stack. Your ability to direct the architectural decisions of the entire team is especially valuable, to free product managers to focus on what the software does, rather than how it does it. The role requires both technical hands-on design and development skills and softer skills for working with the business team and developing more junior engineers on the development team.

The Senior Software Engineer will engage with the product manager, development teams, account managers, and vendors to ensure the successful design, development, and delivery of commercial software products.
