Senior Engineer Role
We are in search of a seasoned Java engineer that has a passion for sound design and engineering practices and is adept at making reasoned short-term vs long-term trade-offs. We are a small, experienced team that values open and professional communication and high quality work. In this role you will be part of a small team that owns our flagship product, which is relied upon by many large and medium sized customers for critical deliverables. Over the next year the team will be doing new greenfield engineering and paying down technical debt simultaneously. While you will have true ownership of your work, we view this as a team sport. It is critical that you enjoy working hand-in-hand with the entire technical team to improve our systems and enhance everyone’s productivity. To be successful in this role you should
- Enjoy simple and well crafted solutions – you likely feel that people often make things more complicated than they need to be
- Enjoy consistency and hate having 3 different implementations to do the same thing
- Enjoy collaboration, but can drive the team to make decisions and remain unblocked
- Are a student of best practices and strive to improve your software development skills
- Likely have a CS (or similar) degree, but this is not required

- Front-end development experience (Preferably React)
- IaC experience (Terraform, Pulumi , etc.)
- Hands-on experience building and managing CI/CD workflows (CircleCI, Github, etc.)
Cultural Fit
At Novi, the culture fit is as important as the technical fit. Our team will be a great fit if you:
- Have a positive attitude and a growth mindset
- Enjoy working on small, highly collaborative teams
- Are self-motivated to improve your technical capabilities
- Can influence without authority via well-reasoned ideas and clear communication
- Are comfortable working cross-functionally to deliver customer impact
