Job Description We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Full Stack Software Engineer with 10-15+ years of professional software development experience to join our engineering team at Traydstream. You are a self-actuating, objective-driven engineer who thrives in environments that demand deep technical ownership and mature judgment. You proactively identify high-leverage opportunities, drive complex initiatives to completion with minimal oversight, and consistently deliver measurable impact aligned with business goals. You are equally comfortable working independently on challenging problems or as a collaborative member of an Agile Scrum team. You excel at managing multiple concurrent tasks and problems, self-prioritizing effectively based on business impact, urgency, and strategic alignment. You operate with a high degree of independence while maintaining strong situational awareness. This includes understanding broader context, knowing when to seek collaboration or input, when to follow established direction, and when to escalate risks or blockers early. You lead by example in building quality production systems that are maintainable, observable, and manageable, adhering to software engineering best practices. Technically proficient, articulate, and creatively innovative, you direct your efforts toward the highest-leverage areas. These include mentoring, crafting novel solutions to complex problems, exploring emerging technologies, and driving architectural changes and refactoring.
