Moody's seeks a Senior Software Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will build end‑to‑end features across backend, frontend, and cloud layers, own core modules and services, contribute to system architecture, and uphold high standards for quality, observability, and reliability.
What You'll Do
- Build and deliver end‑to‑end full‑stack features using Python, Java, .NET, and modern UI frameworks like React or Angular.
- Own and maintain backend services, modules, APIs, and UI components while ensuring code quality through automated tests and robust engineering practices.
- Participate in architecture and design discussions, influencing system evolution and long‑term platform direction.
- Troubleshoot complex issues across backend, frontend, data, and cloud layers to uphold reliability and performance standards.
- Design and evolve service boundaries, API contracts, and versioning strategies to maintain stability and backward compatibility.
- Optimize data access patterns through indexing, query tuning, schema improvements, and caching strategies.
- Instrument services and user interfaces with logs, metrics, and distributed traces to strengthen observability and SLO/SLA compliance.
- Strengthen application security by using secure coding practices, conducting threat modeling, and applying least‑privilege access patterns.
- Enhance CI/CD pipelines by improving test parallelization, automating quality gates, and enabling safe deployment mechanisms like feature flags, blue/green, or canary rollouts.
- Lead deep‑dive incident investigations, perform detailed root‑cause analysis, and implement long‑term corrective actions.
- Conduct thorough code reviews and provide mentorship on architecture, testing, performance, and engineering best practices.
- Collaborate with Product and Design teams to decompose epics, estimate work, and deliver high‑impact features with predictability and quality.
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of professional full‑stack engineering experience delivering end‑to‑end features across backend, frontend, and cloud layers.
- Strong proficiency with modern backend and frontend frameworks, including Python, Java, .NET, React, and Angular.
- Experience owning modules, APIs, and UI components, with the ability to write high‑quality, well‑tested, maintainable code.
- Solid understanding of SQL/NoSQL databases, optimized data access patterns, query tuning, and caching strategies to enhance performance.
- Experience designing service boundaries, API contracts, and versioning strategies that preserve backward compatibility.
- Proficiency in troubleshooting across backend, frontend, data pipelines, integrations, and cloud environments.
- Familiarity with AWS cloud services and cloud‑native design patterns.
- Strong skills in automated testing, CI/CD workflows, feature flagging, and advanced deployment strategies such as blue/green or canary.
- Experience implementing observability for services and UIs using metrics, logs, traces, SLOs, and SLAs.
- Knowledge of secure coding practices, threat modeling, least‑privilege access controls, and application hardening.
- Ability to conduct rigorous code reviews, mentor engineers, and contribute to architectural and design discussions.
- Strong analytical and root‑cause investigation skills, with experience driving durable fixes following incidents or near‑misses.
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent professional experience.
