Senior Software Engineer

About the company

Our client is a fast-growing technology company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Take full ownership of a set of product features, from discovery with internal and external users through prototyping, release and iteration. Build user-facing applications and the intelligent capabilities behind them, and stay accountable for how your work performs in production.

What you'll do

• Build internal tools that let staff serve many more customers without a drop in service quality.
• Develop customer-facing portals where clients view their information and engage on their own terms.
• Design and ship AI-driven features, including the tools agents use and how they are embedded in the product.
• Work directly with internal users, observing real workflows to decide what to build and how to improve it.
• Build systems that handle uncertainty transparently, with attention to compliance, auditability and data freshness.
• Create data ingestion and migration pipelines that turn messy, inconsistent legacy data into clean, reliable inputs.
• Keep production reliable, fixing issues promptly and holding a high bar for quality.

Requirements

What we're looking for

• Experience shipping software at a top startup or well-known technology company, rather than an agency, consultancy or legacy enterprise.
• Proven record of leading a feature area independently, running your own discovery with users and delivering without a product manager defining the specifications.
• Strong ability to understand users and distinguish what they ask for from what they actually need.
• Ability to move quickly without sacrificing reliability.
• Collaborative, direct and low-ego working style, with energy for a fully in-person team environment.

Bonus points

• Strength in frontend or backend engineering.
• Staff-level engineering experience.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science.
• Experience building generative or real-time dynamic user interfaces.
• Proficiency with retrieval systems or agent frameworks.
