About the Role:
As a Stable Kernel Senior Software Engineer , you play an essential role in setting our portfolio of world-class clients up for success through the development and delivery of their most innovative, transformational initiatives. You will collaborate daily with other engineers and product team members, make decisions that influence the path of a product roadmap, leverage software development best practices, and become a more well-rounded engineer as you learn new technologies. Your knowledgeable practice, reliability, and consultative nature make you an engineer that stakeholders and teammates trust.

- Designing and implementing solutions with an eye to the growth of the product and team, improving the speed of future work, and preserving optionality without unnecessary complications.

- Advising people across the Director and VP-levels of the organization.
- Reporting status for the whole team with a general understanding of where each member's work is.
- Autonomy & Ambiguity:
- Designing and supporting long-term roadmaps with limited direction and requiring no direction on project plans.
- Considering and planning around cross-team dependencies to most effectively break down work across the team.
- Working within ambiguity to define and break down challenging projects (e.g., projects that are hard to derive benefits from until the end of the project, projects that are very large, or projects that have a lot of uncertainty or require novel solutions).
