Position Title: Senior Software Engineer II (Full-Stack & Cloud-Native)

Location: Remote

Position Status: Contract to Hire

Pay Rate: NA

Position Description:

Are you a high-performing engineer who thrives at the intersection of complex backend architecture and scalable frontend design? Seneca Resources is seeking a Senior Software Engineer II to serve as a pivotal technical leader within a fast-paced enterprise environment.

In this role, you aren’t just writing code; you are the end-to-end owner of mission-critical systems. You will translate high-level architectural visions into actionable execution strategies, mentoring mid-to-senior level engineers while driving the technical roadmap for both backend (Golang) and frontend (React) ecosystems. If you are a champion of resiliency, observability, and engineering excellence, this is your next career-defining move.

Core Responsibilities:

Full-Stack Architectural Leadership: Own the design and implementation of distributed backend services using Golang and scalable frontend applications using React (OneApp experience highly preferred).
Cloud-Native Foundations: Architect and evolve Kubernetes foundations, containerization strategies via Docker, and automated CI/CD workflows using GitHub Actions.
End-to-End Delivery Ownership: Lead the full product lifecycle from Proof of Concept (POC) through General Availability (GA), ensuring all functional and non-functional requirements meet enterprise standards.
Data & System Integrity: Define complex data schemas, artifacts, and secure data flow patterns to ensure high-performance storage and retrieval.
Engineering Excellence & O11Y: Establish rigorous QA and regression testing strategies. Design and integrate comprehensive Observability (O11Y) frameworks, including metrics, logging, and alerting to meet strict SLOs.
Technical Governance: Produce high-quality architectural diagrams and ADRs (Architecture Decision Records). Partner with Staff Architects to influence governance forums and drive enterprise technical strategy.
Mentorship & Escalation: Serve as the primary technical escalation point for Engineer II and III levels, providing critical trade-off analysis and design guidance to unblock delivery.

Required Skills/Education:

Experience: 8+ years of professional software engineering experience in an enterprise or high-growth environment.
Backend Expertise: Deep, production-level mastery of Golang and distributed systems architecture.
Frontend Proficiency: Strong experience with React; familiarity with OneApp frameworks is a significant advantage.
DevOps Ecosystem: Hands-on expertise with Kubernetes (K8s), Docker, GitHub Actions, and automated change management tooling.
Strategic Thinking: Proven ability to translate roadmap-level strategy into execution plans and influence senior stakeholders.
Communication: Exceptional visual and written communication skills, with the ability to document complex systems via tools like Draw.io.
