About the job
As a Senior Software Engineer at Glenigan, you will take ownership of delivering new features on a mature (brownfield) product, starting from defined requirements through to deployment. This is a hands-on, deeply technical full-stack role with a strong backend focus, working closely with the Technical Lead and supporting two junior engineers.
You’ll operate across a serverless backend and a legacy frontend, building and maintaining customer-facing capabilities that help users discover construction project information and related insights.
What you’ll do
- Deliver end-to-end features: take pre-defined requirements through design, implementation, review, release, and post-release support.
- Maintain and extend an existing application:
- Backend: AWS Lambda (Python) and a separate consumer API on Node.js service exposed via Gravitee.
- Frontend: AngularJS (legacy) with ongoing feature delivery.
- Own and maintain core platform components:
- Elasticsearch indices and query behavior supporting project search.
- Authentication and identity integration using AWS Cognito.
- Collaborate with the Technical Lead to shape technical solutions, estimate work, and balance delivery with maintainability in a brownfield environment.
- Mentor and unblock junior engineers through code review, pairing, and pragmatic guidance.
- Contribute to engineering standards: testing discipline, code quality, lightweight documentation, and consistent delivery practices.
- Support infrastructure delivery practices using Azure DevOps, CI/CD, and Infrastructure-as-Code.
- Occasionally contribute to adjacent integrations and surfaces when needed:
- React Native mobile app maintenance
- GIS polygon data (primarily ESRI-sourced)
- Salesforce integrations
- .NET Batch Tasks
Key technologies you’ll work with
- Backend: Python (AWS Lambda), Node.js/TypeScript, REST APIs, AWS Cognito
- Search: Elasticsearch
- Frontend: AngularJS (legacy) on TypeScript
- Platform: AWS, Gravitee API Management
- Delivery: Azure DevOps, CI/CD, Infrastructure-as-Code
Qualifications
- 7+ years of professional software engineering experience with meaningful ownership across backend and frontend delivery.
- Strong programming fundamentals in Python and TypeScript/JavaScript (ability to work effectively even if the framework is new to you).
- Strong experience in operating, managing, scaling, and deploying ElasticSearch
- Experience building and maintaining serverless systems on AWS, especially Lambda-based backends.
- Practical experience designing and integrating systems with Elastic Search (indexing, mappings, query design, operational maintenance).
- Experience building and maintaining REST APIs, including working with API gateways (e.g., Gravitee) and API authentication/authorization patterns (API keys, identity providers, etc.).
- Experience with AWS Cognito (or comparable identity/auth systems) and integrating auth flows into services and frontend applications.
- Experience with modern delivery practices: CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure-as-Code.
- Fluent in English (spoken and written), comfortable working with colleagues across time zones.
Nice-to-haves
- Exposure to GIS data workflows (e.g., ESRI polygon data and related processing).
- Experience integrating Salesforce products.
- Experience with React Native.
- Experience with C#.
