It’s an exciting time to join because the team has strong ownership and a broad technical impact.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who can take ownership of complex technical initiatives across frontend, backend, infra and agentic development domains. In this role, you’ll build scalable, maintainable solutions that support multiple product teams and business areas.
Success in this role means becoming a trusted technical owner who consistently delivers reliable solutions and helps the team execute more effectively. Six months into the role, we’d expect you to be independently leading technical initiatives and contributing meaningfully to architecture and delivery planning.
This role offers the opportunity to solve challenging engineering problems with visible impact across the business. It’s especially exciting for someone who enjoys combining product engineering with platform thinking, improving developer workflows, and building systems that scale across teams and domains.
What You’ll Be Doing
Owning the Foundation: The runtime, build, deployment, and developer experience that 300+ MFEs and hundreds of engineers depend on every day.
Evolving Our Micro-Frontend Architecture: Improve composition, isolation, and shared dependency strategies so feature teams can move fast.
Product and Planning: Independently drive projects from idea to production: breaking down ambiguous problems into clear technical plans, estimating delivery, identifying risks early, and delivering high-quality solutions in a timely manner.
Supporting Engineering Excellence: Champion best practices, raise the bar for code quality, and turn lessons learned into platform improvements.
Long-Term Thinking: Balance short-term feature unblockers with the long-term health, security, and maintainability of the platform.
Software Factory / Harness Engineering: Build the foundations that let AI agents work autonomously on our platform, including agent instructions, reusable skills, sandboxed environments, tool integrations, guardrails, evals, and the automated checks that make agent-authored changes safe to ship.
AI Fluency: Work agent-first in your own day-to-day: delegate implementation to agents, and focus your judgment on direction, architecture, and verifying outcomes.
