As a Senior Software Engineer on T.

• Help execute the Build-Operate-Transfer model by collaborating with business-aligned technology teams to transition proven capabilities for long-term ownership and scale.
• Contribute to reusable shared capabilities and engineering components that improve speed, quality, and consistency across teams.
• Champion engineering excellence through strong software design, automated testing, code quality, continuous integration, and continuous delivery practices.
• Build systems with measurable quality, production readiness, operational observability, and appropriate safety and control mechanisms.
• Manage technical debt and drive continuous improvement across platforms, services, and developer workflows.
• Identify opportunities to apply emerging technologies in ways that accelerate workflows, unlock business value, and improve operational efficiency.

Business Knowledge

• Collaborate closely with business stakeholders and product owners to understand priorities, shape solution direction, and deliver practical outcomes.
• Bring a strong product mindset to technical decision-making, balancing innovation, scalability, risk, and long-term maintainability.
• Operate effectively in a highly collaborative environment where engineers work side by side with cross-functional partners to solve meaningful business problems.

Qualifications

Required:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience building applications in an object-oriented language such as Java, Python, or JavaScript.
• Hands-on experience with cloud-native architectures, containerized microservices, and modern software delivery practices.
• Experience building or contributing to production or near-production applications, platforms, or intelligent workflows in complex enterprise environments.
• Familiarity with modern engineering patterns such as API integration, event-driven services, observability, monitoring, and scalable system design.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and software design skills.
• Commitment to engineering quality through automated testing, code reviews, observability, and continuous delivery.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work across engineering and business teams to shape effective solutions.
• A product mindset, learning agility, and comfort operating in a fast-evolving technology landscape.

Preferred:

• Experience contributing to reusable platform components or shared engineering capabilities.
