Senior Software Engineer

In this role, as a Senior Software Engineer you will: 

• Design and own the contracts between the Libraries and the four products — OpenAPI interfaces, typed message schemas, and the versioning discipline that keeps breaking changes from becoming someone else's outage. 

• Build the discovery layer — search, relevance, and retrieval across a large and heterogeneous content library. 

• Create and maintain continuous delivery pipelines for code, infrastructure, configuration, and data. 

• Evolve the engineering culture, standards, and best practices — security, governance, new ideas — within the team, and help us decide the stack questions that are still open. 

For this role, you must have:  

• Substantial professional experience building and operating production backend services. 

• Strong TypeScript, or strong proficiency in a comparably typed language and a genuine willingness to work in a strict-TypeScript codebase. 

• Demonstrated ownership of API contracts in a multi-service system: designing them, versioning them, and testing against them. 

• Cloud operations depth — you can design infrastructure, not only consume it, and you write infrastructure as code (we use Terraform on AWS). 

• Release engineering depth — you have built and maintained continuous delivery pipelines and reduced toil in build and release systems. 

• An effective communicator who collaborates well with distributed engineering, product, and design teams, and can explain a technical trade-off to a non-technical audience. 

• Experience mentoring engineers and raising the level of the people around you. 

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent industry experience.
