Senior Software Developer
Team: Technology
Location: Omaha, Nebraska
Commitment: Full-time
Workplace Type: hybrid
About the Role
This is a senior-level role with real technical leadership scope. Reporting to the Director of Software Engineering, you will own complex features end-to-end, contribute to architectural decisions, and be a force multiplier for the engineers around you. You ship high-quality software and you make the team better at doing the same. For the right person, there is a defined path toward Lead and Principal roles.
A note on level: We're open to hiring at either the Senior or Lead level depending on the candidate. If you're a strong Senior ready to own your craft, we want to hear from you. If you're already operating at Lead, there's a seat for that too. Either way, this is a hands-on role — leads code here. Apply and we'll calibrate from there.
What You'll Do
- Lead the design, development, and deployment of complex software features and systems, owning outcomes from concept through production.
- Collaborate with product managers and stakeholders to translate business requirements into durable, well-reasoned technical solutions.
- Write clean, maintainable code and raise the quality bar across the codebase through rigorous code reviews and consistent standards.
- Mentor and coach junior and mid-level developers — unblocking teammates, sharing knowledge, and actively elevating the team around you.
- Drive root cause analysis on complex software issues and implement long-term fixes, not just patches.
- Lead performance, scalability, and reliability improvement efforts across the stack.
- Research and champion new tools, frameworks, and practices that improve how the team ships.
- Rotate on deployment lead responsibilities — coordinating releases, monitoring progress, and resolving issues in real time when things go sideways.
- Contribute to strategic architecture and development decisions at the team level.
What You'll Bring
- 5+ years of professional software development experience.
- Strong command of object-oriented programming principles.
- Hands-on experience with SQL databases and web technologies (JavaScript, HTML, and related stack).
- Demonstrated ability to design and ship scalable, high-performance systems.
- A track record of leading code reviews and elevating code quality across a team.
- Solid experience with Agile methodologies and CI/CD practices.
- Strong communication skills — you can explain a technical decision clearly to an engineer, a product manager, or a VP.
Nice to Have
- Previous technical lead or informal team lead experience on a development team.
- Background in SaaS or B2B product companies.
- Experience with performance monitoring, observability tools, or production incident response.
- A track record of contributing to architectural decisions at the system or team level.
