Job Description

Worth is now looking looking  for a Senior Software Engineer to own major features and subsystems that power our core products. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who thrives in production code, handles ambiguity with confidence, and raises the technical bar for the team around them.

You will design and deliver scalable systems, break down complex product requirements into thoughtful technical plans, and anticipate performance, reliability, and maintainability challenges before they surface in production. Beyond your own execution, you will mentor intermediate and associate engineers, helping them grow in system design, code quality, and engineering judgment.

Your impact will extend across your team and product area through both direct contribution and technical leadership.

Responsibilities

  • Own the design and implementation of major features or subsystems from concept through production.
  • Break down ambiguous requirements into clear technical designs with well-understood tradeoffs.
  • Write high-quality production code across backend and frontend systems using Node.js, TypeScript, Nest.js, and React.js.
  • Design and evolve PostgreSQL schemas with strong attention to indexing, performance, and data integrity.
  • Optimize slow queries and resolve systemic performance bottlenecks.
  • Build and maintain event-driven workflows using Kafka and Redis.
  • Deploy, monitor, and debug containerized services in Kubernetes environments.
  • Identify and address technical debt within owned systems and lead pragmatic refactors.
  • Lead by example in code reviews, coaching others on clean architecture, testing strategy, and maintainable design.
  • Handle production incidents methodically and improve systems to reduce recurrence.
  • Mentor associate and intermediate engineers through pairing, design reviews, and structured feedback.
  • Communicate complex technical tradeoffs clearly across engineering, product, and leadership.

Technology Stack

  • Languages & Runtimes: Node.js, TypeScript
  • Frameworks: Nest.js, React.js
  • Data & Messaging: PostgreSQL, Kafka, Redis, Redshift
  • Infrastructure & Orchestration: Kubernetes, ArgoCD, AWS
  • Monitoring: DataDog
