Hi, I'm Juhi Banerjee , your Recruiter and guide to joining CSG! We are excited to learn more about you and your unique background. As a Software Engineering Senior, you will be responsible for leading technical delivery, guiding engineers, and contributing directly to system design and implementation. You will help translate high-level architectural direction into pragmatic, production-ready solutions, ensuring alignment with product goals, platform strategy, and emerging industry trends, especially in AI-driven software systems. This role is ideal for engineers who have grown beyond individual contribution alone and now lead through influence, design clarity, and technical depth, while remaining hands-on where it matters. We are looking for a Software Engineering Senior who will be: Technical Leadership & Delivery - Lead the design and implementation of complex software features and services from concept through production. - Act as a technical reference point for the team, providing guidance on architecture, design patterns, and best practices. - Balance hands-on development with leadership responsibilities, contributing code when appropriate. Solution Design & Architecture Collaboration - Collaborate with solution architects and other engineering leads to define system designs that align with broader platform and product strategies. - Participate in architecture and design reviews, helping evaluate trade-offs, risks, and long-term implications. - Translate architectural vision into actionable technical plans for engineering teams. Front-End & Back-End Engineering - Guide and review the development of scalable, maintainable front-end applications using modern JavaScript frameworks. - Lead the design and implementation of robust back-end services and APIs (REST, GraphQL, event-driven). - Ensure consistency, quality, and performance across the full stack. AI & Modern Platform Enablement - Lead the integration of AI-powered capabilities (e.g., LLM-based services, inference APIs, intelligent workflows) into production systems. - Work closely with AI/ML, data, and platform teams to operationalize AI features safely and reliably. - Apply best practices around observability, evaluation, and reliability for AI-enabled systems. Data, APIs & Distributed Systems - Guide data modeling and persistence strategies using SQL and NoSQL databases. - Ensure APIs and services are well-designed, versioned, and scalable. - Address cross-cutting concerns such as performance, resiliency, security, and multi-tenancy. Quality, Security & Operational Excellence - Promote strong engineering discipline through testing strategies (unit, integration, contract tests). - Ensure security best practices are embedded into system design and implementation. - Support production readiness, incident analysis, and continuous improvement. Mentorship & Team Growth - Mentor and coach engineers, helping them grow technically and professionally. - Provide constructive feedback through code reviews and technical discussions. - Foster a culture of ownership, collaboration, and continuous learning. Cross-Functional Collaboration - Work closely with product management, design, QA, DevOps, and AI teams. - Communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. - Contribute to roadmap discussions and technical decision-making. Is this opportunity right for you? We are looking for candidates who have: - 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with demonstrated technical leadership responsibilities. - Strong full-stack expertise, covering front-end, back-end, APIs, and data layers. - Proven experience leading design and implementation of complex, production-grade systems. - Hands-on experience with modern JavaScript frameworks and server-side technologies. - Strong understanding of software architecture principles, design patterns, and distributed systems. - Experience working with SQL and NoSQL databases and designing scalable data models. - Proficiency with Git-based workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and modern development practices. - Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills Engineering Leadership & Solutioning Demonstrated track record of leading teams or technical initiatives beyond individual contribution. - Experience collaborating with architects and senior engineers on solution design and system evolution. - Ability to assess trade-offs and make sound technical decisions aligned with business goals. - Comfortable operating in ambiguous problem spaces and driving clarity. AI & Modern Engineering - Hands-on experience integrating AI/ML services or platforms into real-world applications. - Familiarity with current AI trends such as LLMs, intelligent agents, embeddings, inference APIs, and evaluation strategies. - Understanding of the architectural implications of AI systems (latency, cost, reliability, observability, data governance). - Ability to guide teams in buil
