What You Will Do

As a Staff+ Software Engineer at Seeq, you will play a critical role in shaping the technical direction and architecture of our software platform. You will lead the design and development of complex software systems, working closely with cross-functional teams including product managers, designers, and other engineers. You will mentor and coach junior engineers, guiding them in best practices and helping them grow their skills. You will be a technical leader, driving innovation and spearheading the implementation of new technologies and frameworks.
What We're Looking For

You're passionate about crafting exceptional software, you revel in the art of designing and building with elegance, extensibility, and maintainability as your guiding principles.

You're renowned as one of the most productive engineers in your company, set apart by your commitment to continuous improvement. Always striving to perfect your craft, you excel as a teammate, consistently coming up with innovative solutions. You possess an innate ability to identify areas for improvement without waiting for them to be pointed out. Your track record includes swift product and feature deliveries, showcasing proficiency in a continuous delivery model.

You're meticulous and detail-oriented, advocating for unit testing, continuous integration, and elegant solutions. Bugs are your adversaries, and you take pleasure in immediately addressing them. Eliminating technical debt while refactoring code excites you.

You're eager to collaborate through pair programming and contribute to team acceleration; you consistently review and provide actionable feedback on code. Your passion extends to being one of the most product- and user-focused engineers. Because you actively engage with customers, you can articulate the rationale behind features and explain pain points for your fellow engineers.

You're adaptable, versatile, and quick to learn: you bring fresh technologies and methodologies to the team, establishing yourself as a technological thought leader. Your influence is felt as you mentor colleagues, meeting deadlines through effective planning, prioritization, and accurate estimates.

Knowledge of backend technologies such as a JVM language like Kotlin, Node.js, GraphQL allows you to build and debug reliable, maintainable, and extensible applications from browser to database. Your proficiency extends to databases, distributed computing, and cloud platforms, with deep expertise in at least one of these technologies.

You're driven by a desire for impact beyond individual contributions; you possess a holistic view, working seamlessly across boundaries for the benefit of the product and its users. Proactive in seeking and providing feedback, you maintain open communication about growth opportunities with your manager(s) and colleagues.
