Senior Software Engineer, Platform & Developer

Senior Software Engineer, Platform & Developer Experience

Worth AI, a leader in the computer software industry, is looking for a Senior Engineer to join our Platform team with a singular mission: to make our engineering organization faster, more reliable, and more joyful. In this role, you won’t just be building features for end‑users; you will be building the "Product for the Engineers." You will act as a force multiplier by identifying friction in the development lifecycle, architecting shared patterns, and unblocking technical debt that slows the team down.

You are part architect, part investigator, and part educator.

• Conduct regular interviews with engineering teams to find pain points in their daily workflows and prioritize the creation of tools or architectural changes to eliminate them
• Design and implement reusable patterns using Nest.js, React.js, and Type Script that enable other engineers to ship high‑quality, performant services and interfaces by default
• Take ownership of systemic performance issues, such as optimizing slow Postgre
  
  SQL queries or refining Kafka producer/consumer patterns to ensure reliable message delivery
• Own and evolve our Kubernetes and ArgoCD configurations to ensure seamless, automated, and safe deployments across the organization
• Lead nebulous, cross‑team technical challenges such as re‑architecting shared libraries or evolving our service‑to‑service communication and drive them to a concrete resolution
• Identify "sticky" or overly complex codebases and lead the effort to refactor them into maintainable, testable, and modern modules
• Actively mentor and coach engineers across the organization, helping them level up their technical skills and understanding of our core architecture
• Research, prototype, and roll out new internal tools, libraries, or frameworks that improve CI/CD, local development, or system observability
• Introduce new frameworks or architectural shifts to the team and provide the documentation, workshops, and 1:1 support needed for successful adoption
• Lead by example in code reviews, coaching others on maintainable design, testing strategies, and system‑level risk mitigation
• Communicate complex technical trade‑offs effectively across functions, using empathy and self‑awareness to handle conflict and align differing perspectives

• Languages & Runtimes:
  Node.js, Type Script
• Frameworks:
  Nest.js, React.js
• Data & Messaging:
  Postgre
  
  SQL, Kafka, Redis, Redshift
• Infrastructure & Orchestration:
  Kubernetes, ArgoCD
• Monitoring:
  Data Dog

• 8+ years of experience in software engineering with a proven track record of leading teams and providing technical direction
• Deep passion for mentorship with a history of developing the technical careers of associate and intermediate engineers
• Prior experience specifically within Platform, Infrastructure, or Developer Experience (Dev Ex) teams
• Deep professional expertise in the Node.js/Type Script ecosystem, including experience scaling Nest.js backends and React.js frontends
• Hands‑on experience managing containerized workloads using Kubernetes and ArgoCD
• Strong proficiency in Postgre
  
  SQL (query optimization and schema design) and Kafka (event‑driven architecture)
• Proven ability to "unroll" complex legacy code and replace it with scalable, maintainable architecture
• Experience navigating high‑ambiguity environments and translating vague technical frustrations into prioritized roadmaps
• Demonstrated ability to build psychological safety and trust within a team while raising the engineering quality bar

• DORA Metrics Improvement:
  Drive measurable improvements in Deployment Frequency, Lead Time for Changes, Change Failure Rate, and Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR)
• System Latency:
  Successfully optimize core services to meet strict P90 and P99 latency targets, specifically targeting slow endpoints and database bottlenecks
• Developer Velocity:
  Engineers ship code faster and more confidently due to the shared components, patterns, and tools you've built
• Knowledge Distribution:
  The broader engineering team demonstrates increased proficiency in our core stack (Nest.js, React, Kafka) through your mentorship
