About the Role
As a Senior Software Engineer in Concepts Lab, you will take the lab’s validated experiments into production and embed directly with the teams who will run them long-term. You will work inside a delivery team’s codebase and processes, building out the experiment to production quality, then hand off ownership, runbooks, and documentation. The team is small, which makes your work visible: the systems you build become the foundation the receiving team adopts, and the standards you set for testing, documentation, and release safety become the standard they inherit. You will also share in the operational ownership of what the lab runs, on a rotation across the team, until handoff is complete.
Responsibilities
- Build and help deliver experiences to our internal experimental environment.
- Own the reliability, deployment path, and the ability to stand a new experiment up quickly.
- Design, build, and ship the software behind the lab’s experiments directly inside production environments, turning unclear asks into a crisp plan and a milestone path.
- Embed with delivery teams for the duration of each engagement, working within their systems and conventions to implement and build out the lab’s experiments.
- Own production health during the engagement, including security patching, dependency upgrades, bug reduction, scaling work, runbooks, and documentation, shared on a rotation across the team.
- Set the technical bar for the lab’s software work, including design reviews, code quality, test coverage, observability, cost management, and security practices.
- Lead the handoff of validated experiments to the long-term owning team, so what graduates out of the lab arrives documented, supportable, and fully owned by the receiving team.
- Mentor the engineers and contractors who collaborate with us, contribute to hiring, and help shape how Crunchyroll Engineering builds software.
Requirements
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience building and operating production systems.
- Designed systems with multiple components interacting across API or service boundaries, and anticipate the failure modes before they reach customers.
- Built and maintained CI/CD pipelines and integrated automated testing into them.
- Carried operational ownership for services you built: runbooks, diagnostics, and incident follow-through.
- Experience working in early-stage, ambiguous environments where you define the problem as much as you solve it, and know when to prototype quickly versus when to build for the long term.
