Software Engineer

Job Description

This Senior Software Engineer will join an internal application development team supporting a large construction and infrastructure organization. The team builds and maintains 20-30 internal web applications that directly support field operations, safety initiatives, workforce planning, and data-driven decision making across the business.
This role is backend-focused while still requiring full-stack awareness. The ideal engineer is highly experienced in Python-based backend development and PostgreSQL, and is comfortable owning complex business logic, integrating systems, and proactively gathering requirements from stakeholders. Work is often ambiguous and evolving, so this engineer will play a critical role in asking the right questions, understanding downstream impacts, and shaping scalable solutions.
The environment moves quickly and feels startup-like within a large enterprise. Engineers are expected to contribute beyond pure coding - helping define requirements, influence architecture, and ensure solutions align with broader business needs. This is a great opportunity for a Senior-level engineer who enjoys solving real business problems and building systems that support thousands of users in the field.

Key Project Initiatives & Business Impact

• Field Safety Platforms: Enhancing and expanding safety assessment applications used by thousands of craft workers, supporting a strong safety culture and compliance across job sites.
• Workforce & Planning Systems: Supporting internal HR and workforce planning tools that forecast staffing needs, model career progression, and help leadership plan years into the future.
• Backend & Data Modernization: Building and refining backend services, APIs, and data pipelines as the team evolves its technology stack toward modern orchestration and data platforms.
• Business-Critical Logic: Translating complex business rules into reliable, maintainable backend systems while considering how changes impact upstream and downstream applications.
• Cloud-Based Internal Products: Supporting applications hosted in a cloud environment with CI/CD pipelines and modern deployment practices.

Required Skills & Experience

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience (Senior-level focus)
• Strong backend development experience with Python
• Solid experience working with PostgreSQL or other relational databases
• Full-stack understanding, including API development and frontend integration
• Proven ability to design and implement complex business logic
• Experience gathering requirements and working directly with stakeholders
• Strong critical-thinking skills; ability to proactively ask questions and assess system impacts
• Experience working in a cloud environment (Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud Platform)
• Strong communication skills and ability to work in a fast-moving, less-structured environment

Preferred / Nice-to-Have Experience

• Experience with Dagster (or similar orchestration tools such as Apache Airflow)
• Exposure to data warehouse or analytics platforms such as Snowflake or Databricks
• Experience supporting internal enterprise applications rather than customer-facing products
• Frontend experience with modern JavaScript frameworks (React, Vue, or Angular)
• Familiarity with Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud-native development practices
• Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field (preferred, not required)

Work Environment

• On-site work environment
• Collaborative team of ~10 developers
• Startup-like culture within a large, stable organization
• Focus on experimentation, iteration, and delivering practical solutions to real business problems
