Hi, We're Passport!

• Reports To: Software Engineer Manager
• FLSA Status: Exempt
• Location: Remote

​

As a Senior Software Engineer at Passport, you will be at the center of our efforts to build and/or redesign scalable software solutions for our clients.  You will architect, design, develop, test, and debug software, and your efforts will be critical to ensuring we are building and deploying code that meets the ongoing needs of our clients.  You will work closely with Product Management, Product Support, and clients to architect, design, and develop software solutions.  You will work independently with little supervision, and develop high-quality software that is aligned with client/user needs and business goals. You will also anticipate future challenges and ensure the applications being built are technically sound and scalable in our rapid growth phase. 

Responsibilities:

• Lead the design and architecture of scalable, maintainable, and high-performance software solutions, driving project execution from concept to deployment.
• Independently manage and prioritize tasks across the full software development lifecycle, ensuring timely delivery of high-quality code.
• Produce clean, efficient, and well-documented code, actively enhancing existing systems and implementing automated testing strategies (validation and verification).
• Conduct thorough code reviews, provide constructive feedback, and debug complex issues to maintain code quality and stability.
• Foster strong collaboration with cross-functional teams, clients, and business partners, effectively communicating technical concepts and aligning solutions with business objectives.
• Evaluate and integrate emerging technologies, automate repetitive tasks, and drive continuous improvement of development workflows.
• Provide technical mentorship and guidance to junior and mid-level engineers, sharing best practices and contributing to team growth.
• Demonstrate exceptional problem-solving, organizational, and analytical skills, delivering solutions within defined timelines.
• Leverage in-depth knowledge of relational databases and other data storage solutions to develop and maintain robust data-driven applications.
• Utilize business acumen to partner effectively with Product, Support, and Service Delivery teams, ensuring software solutions meet business needs.

About You:

You have excellent attention to detail and can troubleshoot issues with ease. You are curious, approach every challenge with a solutions-oriented mindset, and know-how to deliver.  You can multitask between multiple complex projects and operational requests.  You listen, collaborate, take note of alternate viewpoints, and implement the best solution. You are not afraid of changes along the way - you have a chameleon-like ability to adapt to your surroundings and still figure out how to deliver your assignments. You obsess over the details. Simply put, you have it all together - people enjoy working with you, your teammates respect you, and you can juggle it all. You have a passion for finding and architecting scalable solutions - you love understanding how to make systems work, removing dependencies, and promoting strong data architecture to drive a business forward.  Nothing slips through the cracks when you’re running a project.  You thrive in a fast-paced and exciting environment where change is the norm instead of the exception. You’re up to date on all of the latest technologies and blogs, and as someone committed to continual improvement, you’re excited to join and contribute to the overall software engineering team at Passport.
