Once in a Lifetime Opportunity.
We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer based in Grapevine, Texas who operates as a true technical owner-someone who designs, builds, and sustains systems that matter. The ideal candidate is a fast learner who works independently, takes full ownership of their work, and thrives in collaborative team projects. You will drive initiatives from concept to delivery and leverage AI tools to enhance workflows.
In this hands-on role, you'll shape the platform by owning backend services end-to-end, designing scalable systems, and partnering with product, data, and engineering leaders to deliver high-impact, customer-facing features. You will make architectural decisions, evaluate tradeoffs across performance, reliability, and security, and help guide the long-term technical direction of the platform.
Beyond coding, you will mentor junior engineers, lead by example, and establish best practices to elevate the team's performance. If you enjoy solving complex problems, taking accountability, and leaving systems better than you found them, this role is for you.
