As a Senior Software Engineer at Ware Malcomb, you’ll join a multidisciplinary Digital Transformation (Dx) team building the next generation of digital tools for the AEC industry, and this role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of software engineering, data, and user experience. You’ll architect and deliver modern web applications using React, TypeScript, and Django while owning the AWS‑based cloud infrastructure that powers them through Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, and GitHub Actions. You’ll strengthen platform reliability with robust monitoring, logging, alerting, and security practices, and you’ll lead Agile initiatives across design, development, CI/CD automation, and cross‑functional collaboration. You’ll also mentor teammates and help shape WM’s evolving digital ecosystem, including emerging cloud‑native and AI/ML capabilities.

Your Role

• Lead the full software development lifecycle, including discovery, design, development, testing, deployment, and post‑launch support.
• Assume end‑to‑end ownership of platform reliability, performance, and security across all deployed solutions.
• Define application and platform architecture standards to ensure scalable, secure, and maintainable system design across Dx initiatives.
• Develop and maintain modern web applications using React, TypeScript, and Django for both internal workflow accelerators and client‑facing tools.
• Own and evolve the company’s cloud‑native platform, including AWS infrastructure, Terraform IaC, CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration, cost optimization, and security standards.
• Build robust monitoring, logging, alerting, and observability systems to ensure uptime, stability, and proactive issue detection.
• Implement security best practices and ensure compliance with organizational policies and industry regulations.
• Translate complex architectural, operational, and design workflows into scalable digital solutions that reduce liability and improve operational efficiency.
• Collaborate with cross‑disciplinary teams across the AEC organization to align digital solutions with real‑world workflows and business needs.
• Partner with the Director of Digital Transformation on product strategy, roadmap prioritization, and technical feasibility decisions.
• Serve as the technical authority for the Dx team, guiding engineering standards, architectural decisions, and implementation strategies.
• Work effectively in an Agile environment, participating in sprint planning, code reviews, and iterative feature delivery.
• Mentor engineers and contribute to team growth in modern development practices, cloud engineering, and architectural thinking.
• Develop and maintain technical documentation, including architecture diagrams, deployment procedures, release notes, and training resources.
• Integrate emerging cloud‑native and AI/ML capabilities into platform and product initiatives where they add measurable value.
• Stay current with industry best practices in web development, cloud computing, DevOps, and AI/ML—and proactively recommend improvements to WM’s digital ecosystem.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience).
• 5+ years of hands-on experience developing, deploying, and supporting full-stack applications in a production environment.
• Strong expertise in Python web frameworks (Django or Flask), RESTful APIs, SQL databases, Git, React.ts and HTML/CSS.
• Proficiency in Docker and Kubernetes for containerization and container orchestration. Experience with the Helm templating language is optional but nice to have.
• Strong experience building DevOps CI/CD pipelines for continuous delivery and reliability.
• Demonstrated experience designing and scaling production-grade distributed systems.
• Experience deploying applications to cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure). Experience with infrastructure-as-code (IaC) frameworks like Terraform is nice to have.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, analytical thinking, with the abilities to diagnose and resolve complex infrastructure and application issues related to deployments and architect solutions creatively and pragmatically
• Strong communication and collaboration abilities, with comfort working across technical and non-technical groups.
• Demonstrated passion for continuous learning, staying current with emerging technologies, and advancing AI-ready applications.
