The Senior Software Engineer (SSE) role is intended for engineers who demonstrate strong technical ownership, system-level thinking, and expertise in building intelligent, AI-enabled solutions within IFS, supporting internal platforms and evolving technical capabilities.
This role goes beyond individual task execution. As an SSE, you are expected to lead the design and delivery of AI-integrated systems, contribute to key architectural decisions, and raise engineering standards by ensuring AI-driven solutions are scalable, reliable, cost-aware, and responsibly implemented.
Key Responsibilities
Full-Stack & Cloud Engineering
- Design and develop internal tools and services using React, Node.js, and modern JavaScript/TypeScript.
- Write, optimize, and maintain PL/SQL / SQL for backend workflows, reporting, and data-heavy use cases.
- Build and integrate cloud-based solutions using Azure, AWS, or equivalent platforms, following secure and scalable patterns.
- Design and consume REST APIs, with a strong understanding of IFS projections and integration constraints.
AI & Intelligent Capabilities
- Design and implement AI-powered features such as:
- LLM-backed assistants or copilots
- Intelligent automation for internal workflows
- Natural-language driven demo interactions
- Apply prompt engineering, orchestration patterns, and grounding techniques when integrating LLMs.
- Make informed trade-offs around cost, reliability, security, and performance when using AI services.
IFS & Enterprise Solution Development
- Own and implement complex IFS configurations, including Custom Fields, Events, Business Process Automations (BPAs), Projections, and Lobbies.
- Design solutions with production-readiness in mind, even when built for presales or demo environments.
- Act as a technical point of contact for complex presales configuration scenarios.
Engineering Quality & Ownership
- Take responsibility for code quality, error handling, performance, and maintainability.
- Contribute to defining testing strategies, including unit, integration, or functional test coverage where appropriate.
- Ensure proper technical documentation for solutions owned.
- Actively participate in and elevate code reviews.
Team Contribution & Mentorship
- Mentor Software Engineers through technical guidance, reviews, and knowledge sharing.
- Support team-wide improvements in development practices, documentation, and testing discipline.
- Collaborate closely with presales consultants to translate business scenarios into robust technical implementations.
Expectations at Senior Level
An SSE is expected to:
- Work with minimal supervision on complex tasks.
- Anticipate risks (performance, throttling, scalability, security) early.
- Proactively suggest technical improvements and refactoring opportunities.
- Balance speed vs. quality, especially in presales-driven timelines.
- Demonstrate ownership beyond assigned requests.
