- You’ll work closely with the pod’s technical lead and engineering manager to prioritize initiatives, and collaborate with other teams to roll out changes that scale beyond the pod itself.
- This role is hands-on but also highly collaborative: you’ll mentor teammates, set standards for high-quality code and maintainable architectures, and help establish best practices that raise the bar across Core engineering.
- As a Senior Software Engineer for CoreDX, you’ll focus on: - Migrating off legacy frameworks and introducing modern frontend tooling - Upgrading shared libraries and improving support for our internal design system - Reducing test suite runtime and improving reliability of developer-facing tests - Optimizing the local development loop, including build, bundling, and hot reload times - Investigating and resolving sources of frontend performance regressions in the Editor - Defining standards and building
