About the role
As a Senior Software Engineer I at Crunchtime, you will engineer scalable, high-efficiency architectures for our enterprise ERP suite. We are looking for a technical professional who views the database as a core engineering component—not just a storage layer.
You won't just write code; you will design the data structures and program logic that power highly available, large-scale systems. This role requires a deep technical grasp of the full software lifecycle, with a specific focus on building complex transaction and reporting solutions that remain performant under heavy enterprise loads.
What you’ll do as a Senior Software Engineer I
- Engineer and implement complex PL/SQL scripts through all phases of the lifecycle, including analysis, design, testing, and documentation.
- Perform deep database tuning and optimization across both schema and SQL to ensure high system availability.
- Utilize our entire technology stack to engineer new features, ensuring seamless integration between Oracle RDBMS, web UIs, and APIs.
- Create and maintain database upgrade scripts and develop SQL scripts to repair client data or fulfill complex data modification requests.
- Assist the broader engineering staff with complex SQL and provide expert solutions to troubleshooting problems.
- Actively contribute to technical design discussions and take ownership of the implementation of complex features within the team's roadmap.
- Optimize the engineering lifecycle by maintaining tight feedback loops with stakeholders and customers, ensuring that system designs align with user needs and operational realities.
- Maintain transparent communication with team members and leadership using Jira, Slack, and Zoom.
What we’re looking for
- Strong RDBMS engineering experience, with a heavy emphasis on Oracle database design and performance tuning.
- Ability to process complex business requirements and engineer a stable, scalable, and efficient architecture to support them.
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to engineer precise solutions for complex problems while balancing immediate constraints with long-term scalability.
- A self-starter capable of taking full ownership of complex projects and driving them to completion in a rapidly changing environment..
- A collaborative mindset with a bias toward over-communication and a belief that individual success is tied to team success.
- Dedicated to both personal development and the mentorship of junior engineering staff.
- Commitment to automating workflows and improving repeatable engineering processes.
Nice to haves
- Specific experience with our tech stack (Java, Spring, MyBatis, Oracle DB, Powershell, etc.)
- Practical experience in GitLab, Jenkins, and modern CI/CD pipelines.
- Familiarity with both monolithic and microservice architectures, particularly in the context of distributed systems.
- Experience developing enterprise-grade web products that handle significant scale and complex user interfaces.
- A background in DevOps and/or experience working with specialized hardware (mobile or embedded).
- Community & Culture:
-Contributions to the Open Source community.
-A history of building great relationships with coworkers and a desire to contribute to a fun, supportive work environment.
