About the opportunity
We’re seeking a Senior Software Engineer who can own medium-to-large features end-to-end, mentor teammates, and make pragmatic technical decisions. You’ll work across Java, MS SQL Server, and React to deliver scalable, accessible experiences.
What you'll get to do
- Own feature development end-to-end (Java → MS SQL → React), from design to production.
- Translate product goals into technical plans; de-risk unknowns early and manage scope.
- Lead design discussions for your features; define APIs, data models, and module boundaries.
- Champion testing strategy (unit/integration/e2e) and observability for your areas.
- Tune MS SQL Server performance (index strategies, query plans, stored procedures).
- Advance the React codebase using modern patterns and accessibility best practices.
- Improve CI/CD pipelines, developer tooling, and build/release hygiene.
- Mentor SEs through pairing and code reviews; raise the quality bar.
- Contribute to incident response and postmortems; drive prevention for your domain.
- Backend: Java (modern frameworks), RESTful services, auth/authorization best practices
- Database: MS SQL Server (performance tuning, indexing, stored procedures, migrations)
- Frontend: React (TypeScript preferred), component-driven development, accessibility
- Tooling/Practices: GitHub, CI/CD, automated testing, feature flags, monitoring/logging, containers (plus), AWS (plus)
Skills and experience we value
- 5+ years of professional software development with strong Java and React experience.
- Proficiency with MS SQL Server and measurable performance improvements in past work.
- Track record of owning features end-to-end and making sound engineering trade-offs.
- Strong system design, debugging across the stack, and CI/CD experience.
- Excellent communication and collaborative problem solving.
- Experience mentoring junior engineers and elevating team practices.
What would make you really stand out
- Domain-driven design, eventing, or microservice patterns.
- Deep TypeScript, testing libraries, and WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility practices.
- Containers/orchestration (Docker/Kubernetes) and cloud platforms (AWS).
- Security best practices (OWASP) and/or background in payroll/HCM.
