[Hiring] Senior Software Engineer @Lokalise

Role Description

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer (Backend) to join our Integrations domain. Our mission is to build the industry's most robust and scalable integrations platform, enabling seamless data flow between Lokalise and the hundreds of tools our customers rely on every day—from code repositories and design tools to content management systems.

This isn't just about building integrations; it's about architecting a platform that makes our customers' workflows effortless and our developers' lives easier. As a senior member of this team, you won't just be an individual contributor; you will be a standard-setter and a force multiplier. You will lead by example, elevating our craft, shaping our technical direction, and helping us build a world-class engineering environment.

• Architect and Own: Lead the design, development, and long-term ownership of our core integrations platform and services, making pragmatic trade-offs between velocity and long-term maintainability.
• Think Holistically: Go beyond the code to deeply understand customer workflows and business impact. Ground every technical decision in a clear "why" that connects your work to the value we deliver.
• Build the System: Champion and implement practices that improve our entire development lifecycle. You'll help us build frictionless, automated pathways to production and use data (like DORA metrics) to measurably improve our delivery performance.
• Elevate the Team: Act as a force multiplier. Through thoughtful code reviews, mentorship, and knowledge sharing, you will actively raise the skill level of the engineers around you.
• Lead in AI-Powered Development: Pioneer and evangelize the use of AI development tools within the team. You won’t just use these tools; you will actively discover and share workflows that accelerate our entire organization.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience building and running complex backend systems.
• Solid experience with Node.js and PHP.
• A proven track record of working in the integrations space.
• Strong understanding of modern backend building blocks: API best practices; message queues (RabbitMQ, SNS/SQS or similar); relational data stores (PostgreSQL or similar); and cloud services (AWS or similar).
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.

Requirements

• Deep Technical Craft.
• Integrations Domain Expertise.
• Systems Thinking.
• High-Impact Judgment & Decision Quality.
• Pragmatism over Dogma.
• A Commitment to Quality.
• AI as a Core Competency.
• Leadership and Influence.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and employee stock options plan.
• Fully remote and flexible working hours.
• Co-working budget.
• Flexible vacation policy.
• Home office setup budget.
• Learning and development budget.
• Health insurance.
• Wellness allowance.
• Great startup culture.
