At Globe, our goal is to create a wonderful world for our people, business, and nation. By uniting people of passion who believe they can make a difference, we are confident that we can achieve this goal. Job Description

As a Senior/Lead Software Development Engineer, you won’t just be writing code—you’ll be shaping the technical future of our platform. You will serve as a technical pillar for the team, balancing hands-on development with high-level architectural decisions and mentorship. ✅ Your Mission & Responsibilities: Architect & Scale: Lead the design and evolution of high-performance, distributed cloud applications that define our core services.

Technical Leadership: Partner with product leaders to translate complex business requirements into elegant, scalable technical roadmaps. Engineering Excellence: Set the gold standard for code quality, security, and performance through rigorous peer reviews and by championing best practices across the "elite squad." Infrastructure Strategy: Oversee our CI/CD philosophy and cloud infrastructure, ensuring our systems are not just automated, but resilient and cost-optimized.

Orchestration Mastery: Drive our containerization strategy using Docker and Kubernetes, moving beyond "using" tools to "optimizing" them for global scale. Mentorship: Act as a force multiplier by coaching junior and mid-level engineers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and technical curiosity. 🛠️ What

You Bring to the Table: Track Record: 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, specializing in the delivery of large-scale, production-grade systems. Proven leadership as a Senior Engineer, successfully guiding teams of developers to ship high-impact software. Polyglot Proficiency: Must have expert-level mastery in Node.js, Java, or TypeScript, with the ability to choose the right tool for the specific architectural challenge.

Nice to have: Python Cloud Authority: Deep, "under-the-hood" experience with AWS or Google Cloud. You don’t just use cloud services; you understand their limitations and cost-performance trade-offs. System Design Expert: You’ve successfully navigated the complexities of microservices, distributed systems, and data consistency at scale.

Operational Ownership: You have a "you build it, you run it" mentality, with deep experience in observability (Prometheus/Grafana) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform). 🌟 Advanced Bonus Points: Platform Engineering: Experience building internal developer platforms or tooling that improves the entire department's velocity.

Serverless Visionary: Experience migrating monolithic or traditional microservices to event-driven, serverless architectures. Security Champion: A background in DevSecOps, including automated security scanning and zero-trust architecture. 💙 Why

You’ll Lead Here: Impact at Scale: Your decisions will directly influence our technical debt, developer experience, and product success. Autonomy: We trust our Leads to own their domain.

You’ll have the freedom to experiment with new technologies and steer the stack. Growth Environment: We don't just provide resources; we provide a platform for you to establish yourself as a thought leader within the industry. Hybrid Freedom: A culture built on trust, allowing you to manage your time and your team in a way that maximizes both output and well-being.
