As a Senior Software Engineer at TraceLink, you’ll design, build, test, deploy, and maintain secure, scalable software across our cloud platform. You’ll independently own complex features from discovery through production, lead technical implementation, collaborate across teams, mentor engineers, and help continuously improve our engineering practices.

AI-assisted engineering is a core part of how we work. You’ll use approved AI tools to accelerate design, development, testing, debugging, documentation, and analysis while applying strong engineering judgment to ensure quality, security, and maintainability.

What You’ll Do

• Design, develop, test, and maintain scalable cloud-native applications, APIs, distributed systems, integrations, and event-driven workflows.
• Own complex features end-to-end, including technical design, implementation, testing, documentation, deployment, and production support.
• Lead technical delivery for complex stories, epics, and cross-team initiatives.
• Evaluate technical approaches, dependencies, risks, and tradeoffs and provide reliable estimates.
• Collaborate with Product, Architecture, QA, Security, Operations, Support, and other engineering teams.
• Build secure, performant, maintainable, observable, and well-tested software.
• Participate in architecture discussions, design reviews, and peer code reviews.
• Troubleshoot complex production issues and deliver durable solutions.
• Create clear technical documentation, including designs, APIs, data models, runbooks, and troubleshooting guides.
• Mentor engineers and promote knowledge sharing and engineering best practices.
• Use AI-assisted engineering tools to improve development, testing, debugging, documentation, estimation, and productivity while validating generated output.
• Continuously improve system reliability, engineering workflows, and technical quality.
