The Opportunity
This isn’t just a Senior Software Engineer I role — it’s an opportunity to build high-quality, scalable software that directly enables real-world infrastructure deployment across telecom, energy, utilities, and renewables. You’ll work inside a modern engineering organisation where craftsmanship, velocity, user empathy, and technical maturity matter. You will contribute as a hands-on builder while growing into broader architectural thinking and cross-functional influence.
Your success will be measured not only by the quality of the code you produce, but also by how you collaborate, communicate, understand customer use cases, and help elevate engineering excellence across the team.
What You’ll Do
As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll design and implement features end-to-end while partnering closely with Product, QA, DevOps, and fellow engineers across the platform. You’ll break down technical requirements, write clean extensible code, contribute to technical documents, mentor junior engineers, and model strong engineering fundamentals.
Specifically, you will:
Translate product and technical requirements into implementation plans
Write well-structured, maintainable, and unit-testable code
Independently break down technical specifications for smaller projects
Draft sections of technical design documentation (e.g., TDD)
Debug complex issues across multiple systems
Use AI tools to assist in generating and refining code and test coverage
Understand synchronous vs asynchronous processes and apply appropriately
Optimize database query performance and indexing
The Skill Set
Technical Expertise & Architecture
Demonstrates deep proficiency in core programming languages and frameworks
Understands modern design patterns and best-practice development approaches
Writes extensible, test-friendly code
Advocates for architectural improvements that benefit scalability and maintainability
Understands how their component fits into the larger system
Approaches debugging analytically, identifying issues across multiple layers
Recognises knowledge gaps and actively seeks learning
Leadership & Team Enablement
Provides mentorship to junior engineers through pairing, guidance, and code reviews
Shares knowledge openly and constructively
Works effectively across cross-functional touchpoints — product, QA, DevOps, support
Helps drive clarity during technical discussions and team execution
Sets a collaborative tone rooted in humility and shared learning
Quality & Customer Focus
Learns the “why” behind requirements and user scenarios
Builds software that supports real-world usage patterns — including offline and low-connectivity environments
Leverages AI to surface edge-case conditions
Writes code that reduces downstream testing risk and future defects
Thinks empathetically about multiple product personas
Communication & Influence
Communicates clearly and succinctly in both written and verbal formats
Adapts style based on audience — technical or business
Asks clarifying questions when needed
Able to present work and demo functionality to groups
Easily understood regardless of medium — in-person or remote
Within 90 Days, You’ll:
Ramp into the core product and engineering workflows
Deliver development tasks independently with quality and timeliness
Participate actively in code reviews and technical discussions
Build a strong working rhythm with team members across engineering and productDemonstrate understanding of user contexts and personas
Within 180 Days, You'll:
Serve as a reliable contributor for medium-sized feature development
Draft technical specification sections within design documentation
Identify and reduce technical debt within your assigned areas
Contribute to improving automated testing and reliability
Mentor junior teammates consistently
Within 365 Days, You'll:
Become the go-to technical reference for specific parts of the platform
Consistently deliver features from specification through release
Help influence technical direction through feedback and perspective
Improve developer experience through newer patterns, documentation, or tooling
Demonstrate ownership of software quality and customer impact
About Sitetracker
Sitetracker was founded ten years ago with the singular focus of solving a problem that was first recognized within the telecommunications industry; how to effectively manage the volume, variety, and velocity of critical infrastructure projects needed to meet the demand of expanding wireless and cellular service. That problem has become even more pronounced due to the eventual explosion of 5G. Being able to effectively deploy infrastructure is going to be the differentiator between leading telecommunication providers.
However, over the years, we realized that this challenge isn’t localized to telecommunications – it’s pervasive nearly everywhere and has reached an inflection point. Utilities (such as gas and electric services), smart cities, and alternative energy all face similar challenges. Sitetracker is the only full-lifecycle project management platform suited to support these companies and address these challenges.
We are exceptionally proud of the company we’ve built (we were recently recognized as the
#2 place to work in San Francisco, as well as one of the top places to work in the entire United States). Our people are extraordinary and we’re continuing to invest in our people-first culture.
