[Hiring] Senior Software Engineer @HighlightTA

Role Description

As a Senior Software Engineer at Neon One, you aren’t just writing code; you are architecting the future of our nonprofit platform. You will lead the charge in building highly performant, serverless applications using a modern stack of Node.js, Vue Micro Front-Ends, and the PrimeVue design system. While our future is serverless and service-oriented, a great senior engineer understands that growth involves bridging the gap. You will play a key role in maintaining and evolving our legacy PHP/Laravel applications, ensuring a seamless transition as we scale our modern ecosystem.

• Architect Modern Solutions: Design and implement scalable serverless functions (Node.js/TypeScript) and modular Micro Front-Ends (Vue.js and Single-SPA) that power our core solutions.
• Bridge the Technical Gap: Support and extend existing PHP/Laravel services; while you don't need to be a Laravel expert on day one, you will use your senior-level curiosity to modify, debug, and build features within legacy applications and services.
• Drive UI/UX Excellence: Drive the adoption of our PrimeVue design system to ensure a cohesive, high-performance UI/UX across all services.
• Champion Quality & Security: Lead code reviews and champion "Definition of Done" standards to ensure security, redundancy, and top-tier performance.
• Collaborate on Design: Partner with Architecture, Product Owners, and Designers to turn complex nonprofit challenges into elegant technical specifications and high-quality design documents.
• Leverage AI Tools: Utilize AI tools to plan better, develop faster, and share expertise in design patterns with the wider engineering team.
