About the Role
We are looking for a senior, hands-on software engineer with broad technical experience and the judgment to help a small team solve difficult problems. You will personally design, implement, debug and ship critical software, while helping colleagues make good architecture and delivery decisions. You will work across the stack as the problem demands. The role is an individual contributor position with a potential opportunity to take on broader software leadership over time. This role will report directly to leadership.
Responsibilities
- Personally own important software from initial problem definition through implementation, deployment and continued operation.
- Turn ambiguous experimental needs into achievable software milestones with clear acceptance criteria.
- Build and improve interfaces between applications, instrument SDKs, data systems and supporting infrastructure.
- Pair with SDK and application engineers on difficult integration, concurrency, performance and recovery problems.
- Make pragmatic decisions about reuse, languages, architecture and build-versus-buy tradeoffs.
- Establish focused testing, observability and release practices that improve reliability and research velocity.
- Build reliable workflows for recording high-volume experimental data to disk, managing its storage and metadata, and moving it through analysis.
- Review code, mentor peers and communicate technical tradeoffs clearly to scientists and engineers.
- Work with the team’s manager to prioritize work and keep commitments consistent with capacity.
Requirements
- A record of personally delivering substantial software systems and supporting them after release.
- Strong coding and debugging skills, sound software fundamentals and comfort learning unfamiliar parts of a stack.
- Experience making architecture decisions across multiple components, with an ability to explain what you simplified and why.
- Good judgment about reliability, data integrity, performance and operational failure modes.
- Evidence of helping other engineers deliver through thoughtful review, mentoring and collaboration.
- An appetite for hands-on work in a small team where priorities evolve with new experimental evidence.
