Senior Engineer – Asset Protection

Role Overview

• Write production code as a core part of your week — this is a hands-on individual contributor role, and you’ll be one of the people shipping the work, not just shaping it
• Lead the design, development, and operation of complex distributed systems that process sales transactions, in-store alerts, and other business data
• Build using strong development practices: write clear, maintainable code; cover it with meaningful tests; instrument it for production; and keep technical debt in check
• Perform thoughtful code reviews that catch real issues, share context, and help teammates grow — and welcome the same in return on your own work
• Work through design problems alongside the team — whiteboarding, debating tradeoffs, and arriving at better solutions together
• Take the time to understand the why behind a problem before reaching for a solution, including the business context, the user experience, and the constraints that shaped the existing system
• Partner with engineers, product managers, business stakeholders, and vendors to turn ambiguous problems into well-scoped solutions — translating business needs into functional requirements, and technical tradeoffs into language the business can act on
• Mentor other engineers and help the team continuously raise its bar on quality, automation, and delivery speed
• Operate with a DevOps mindset: own your service in production, including monitoring, alerting, CI/CD, and cloud infrastructure
• Develop practices for delivering high-quality code with the help of AI coding assistants

Requirements

• 4+ years of professional experience writing, shipping, and supporting production-quality software
• Strong proficiency in Java and the Spring Boot framework
• Familiarity with RESTful microservices and the tools used to work with them (Postman, curl, OpenAPI/Swagger)
• Experience with a major public cloud (AWS or GCP) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Experience with event streaming and messaging (Kafka, Confluent, SQS) and the patterns that go with them
• Comfort with modern infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD tooling (GitLab CI/CD, Terraform)
• Familiarity with observability tools (New Relic, Splunk, Grafana) and a habit of instrumenting what you ship
• A solid testing discipline across unit, integration, regression, and load testing
• Experience with relational and/or NoSQL data stores
• A track record of leading the design of complex systems and features, supported by clear technical specs and diagrams
• Strong written and verbal communication; able to propose, evaluate, and defend technical designs on their merits and tradeoffs
• Energized by building solutions with a team — you do your best work in collaboration, not in isolation
• A willingness to question existing patterns and assumptions when it improves security, performance, maintainability, or business fit.
