Senior Staff Developer (26-00026) -

Senior Staff Developer Responsibilities

Duties and Responsibilities include but are not limited to the following:

• Conceptualize, architect, and develop new functionality for our CRM/ERP systems, adapting to evolving business requirements.
• Leverage AI coding assistants (e.g., Claude Code, Gemini) as a core part of the daily workflow — for scaffolding, refactoring, test generation, and code review — while owning the correctness, security, and performance of the final output.
• Participate in solving production problems by analyzing and troubleshooting issues across multiple languages and systems.
• Collaborate with other developers and engineers to design, build, and maintain cutting-edge applications.
• Optimize existing code and database structures to enhance platform performance.
• Work with CI/CD pipelines, source control repositories, and DevOps tooling to manage delivery.
• Evaluate emerging AI-assisted development tools and practices, and champion their adoption across the engineering organization.
• Suggest and implement industry best practices for faster, more efficient delivery of software products.
• Review and implement coding best practices, including responsible use of AI-generated code.
• Mentor and coach junior and mid-level developers, including on effective and responsible use of AI tools, and guide them through the SDLC process.
• Provide on-call support as necessary to ensure system reliability.
• Effectively and professionally communicate with other team members and stakeholders.
• Adjust priorities based on business needs and adapt to change with minimal supervision.
• Exercise sound judgment when using AI tools with proprietary code or client data, in accordance with company AI usage policy.
• Perform daily duties in line with Information Security Policies and Procedures.
• Ensure that information Confidentiality, Integrity and Privacy is always maintained with processing information assets.

AI-Forward Role Expectations

This role is expected to treat AI-assisted development as a standard part of the craft, not an occasional convenience. Candidates should be able to speak concretely about how they use AI tools day-to-day, how they validate AI-generated code before it ships, and where they draw the line on AI use for sensitive or regulated systems. Comfort mentoring others on AI-assisted workflows is a strong plus.

Qualifications and Required Skills

• 5+ years of professional software development experience, preferably in a SaaS environment.
• Multi-language development experience required, including PHP; additional proficiency in JavaScript and/or .NET strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated, hands-on experience using AI coding tools (e.g., Claude, Gemini) in a professional software development workflow.
• 2+ years of experience with hyper-scale cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP).
• Experience with database systems (MySQL/MS SQL/Oracle).
• Strong object-oriented programming experience.
• Git/Bitbucket or other source control experience.
• JavaScript + jQuery.
• XML/SOAP/REST APIs.
• HTML/CSS.
• Familiarity with SDLC processes and Agile methodologies.

What Will Make You Stand Out

• Prior experience in a SaaS product company or platform team.
• Prompt engineering or AI pair-programming techniques for improving code quality and development speed.
• Experience integrating AI/LLM capabilities into product features (not just development tooling).
• .NET framework experience.
• PHP framework experience and best practices.
• NGINX server configuration.
• Database technologies, including MariaDB, Galera Cluster, Elasticsearch, Couchbase.
• Messaging and caching systems such as RabbitMQ and Redis.
• Zookeeper for distributed system coordination.
• Experience with scalable application development and optimization
