Senior Software Development Engineer

The Role

As a Software Development Engineer, you lead the design, development, and implementation of complex features, system components, and platform improvements. Operating as an individual contributor, you drive progress on technically challenging work characterized by high business impact, cross-team dependencies, and architectural ambiguity. You are expected to hands-on deliver elegant, strategic code while actively raising the engineering bar for your team. A cornerstone of this role is fostering a strong engineering culture through active mentorship, sharing expertise, and guiding team-level technical alignment.

Our Technology Stack

As an engineer at Everseen, you’ll have the opportunity to work with and develop your skills across a modern, high-performance tech stack:

• Languages: NodeJS, Typescript, React, Python
• Tools & Infrastructure: Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, Git, and CI/CD pipelines
• Data & Streaming: Real-time video processing, RTSP/video streaming, and cloud platforms

What you'll do

Design & Development

• Owns a core sub-system, a significant slice of a technology pillar, or complex business-critical features.
• Leads the design of complex features, services, or new sub-systems (e.g., component contracts, interface/API designs, SDKs, or high-throughput data pipelines).
• Directly drives progress on highly complex tasks that involve multiple cross-functional dependencies, high business impact, or ambiguous requirements.

Influence & Decision-Making

• Influences team-level architecture, implementation approaches, and continuous technical improvements.
• Contributes significantly to strategic technical decisions within your specific product, platform, or service area.
• Aligns technical consensus across team members and represents your team's sub-system in cross-pillar/cross-team discussions.

Coding & Software Craftsmanship

• Contributes hands-on to the most technically challenging parts of the team's workload.
• Designs and implements highly reusable, efficient, and elegant code built for complex requirements and long-term system strategy.

Quality, Testing & CI/CD

• Improves team-level software quality by establishing stronger test coverage, advanced validation patterns, and proactive defect prevention.
• Drives improvements in team CI/CD processes and release quality through automated build, test, and deployment practices.

Monitoring, Troubleshooting & Data Analysis

• Leads the diagnosis and troubleshooting of complex production issues within team systems, improving system resilience and observability.
• Utilizes production diagnostics, logs, stack traces, and system metrics to identify trends, isolate root causes, and propose engineering improvement opportunities.
• Researches, evaluates, and proposes third-party software solutions to optimize system performance and expand capabilities.

Documentation

• Responsible for creating, reviewing, and maintaining high-quality technical documentation and durable design knowledge to ensure systems are easily understood and accessible.

Teaching & Sharing Culture

• Mentors engineers (SDE I/II) to support their technical growth and reviews peers' designs.
• Proactively shares skills, knowledge, and technical expertise with members of the engineering team to raise the overall quality bar.
• Actively fosters a culture of collaboration, open communication, and continuous learning within the team.
