Description
As a member of the R&D organization responsible for creating software for the development of innovative in vitro diagnostic solutions, the Senior Software Engineer contributes to the design and delivery of scalable, cloud-native software solutions by implementing modern software development practices, including microservices architecture, CI/CD, and infrastructure as code. The Senior Software Engineer works within established architectural frameworks, enhances CI/CD and infrastructure as code solutions, and develops reliable data pipelines and governance practices. The Senior Software Engineer collaborates with cross-functional teams–including data engineering, product management, and architecture–to translate requirements into well-engineered solutions, uphold governance and security standards, and drive continuous improvement through code reviews, prototyping, and technology evaluation.
Primary Duties
•
Contributes to the design and implementation of multi-tier, distributed, and event-driven systems using cloud-native services and modern design patterns.
•
Implements infrastructure as code (IaC) solutions using AWS CloudFormation, containerized applications (Docker/Kubernetes), and automated deployment workflows.
•
Designs and develops microservices-based applications that leverage AWS/ECS/EKS to ensure scalability, security, and resilience.
•
Designs and develops data pipelines using AWS Lambda, Glue, and other AWS services, following operational standards for availability, performance, and disaster recovery.
•
Designs and develops RESTful APIs and integrates them with internal and external systems.
•
Designs and implements data storage solutions, including data lakes and warehouses that enable analytic and operational workloads.
•
Applies data governance practices–such as data quality, lineage, and security–within the systems and pipelines developed.
•
Implements integration strategies, APIs, and real-time/stream data solutions to ensure reliable and scalable data flows.
•
Contributes to technical design discussions and ensures solutions align with system engineering and architectural guidance.
•
Produces and maintains high-quality system designs, technical documentation, and implementation specifications.
•
Participates in design reviews, code reviews, and pair programming sessions to share knowledge and promote modern development practices.
•
Evaluates new technologies, tools, and frameworks, providing recommendations that support technical excellence and business needs.
•
Works closely with multidisciplinary teams to translate business requirements into technical designs and implementation plans.
•
Collaborates with cross-functional teams to integrate and optimize processes across teams.
•
Participates in proof-of-concept efforts by developing prototypes that validate design assumptions and accelerate solution delivery.
•
Performs other duties as assigned.
