Job description

The exciting world of scientific research is fueled by people with a passion for solving complex problems. At Cayuse, we are committed to our customers' success by empowering organizations to conduct globally connected research that advances their impact on science, discovery and society. We build on that commitment with proven, integrated and easy-to-use technology that delivers exceptional value, and world class service and support that accelerates outcomes.

But we are more than just an empowering platform powered by advanced technologies. We are a collaboration of exceptional, highly skilled people with multi-disciplinary expertise, and are building our team to support our ambitious growth plans. Cayuse's foundational strength comes from our customer and employee focused values and commitment to industry-leading solutions. It's an exciting time to become a key member of our growing team.

The Senior Software Engineer is a full-stack technical contributor for driving the design, development, and quality of software across the Cayuse Research Platform. In this role, you will take a product ownership mindset — caring not just about writing code, but about delivering meaningful outcomes for customers and the business.

You will work in a fast-paced, Agile environment where new features, technical debt reduction, and platform modernization all compete for priority. You'll be expected to balance those demands thoughtfully, advocate for quality at every stage of the SDLC, and bring a passion for solving hard problems with clean, testable, and scalable solutions.


Responsibilities

  • Design, code, test, and maintain full stack software solutions of moderate to high complexity.
  • Demonstrate engineering discipline in estimating work, reporting on progress, raising blockers and delivering on time.
  • Build features end-to-end — from data layer to UI — with a strong sense of ownership over quality and user experience.
  • Contribute to the design and architecture of new and existing systems, ensuring alignment with the target architecture.
  • Develop prototypes and proofs of concept to evaluate new technologies and approaches.
  • Work cross-functionally with various teams: product management, quality engineering, and across various product lines to deliver.
  • Balance feature delivery with proactive investment in tech debt, test coverage, and platform health.
  • Participate in backlog refinement and sprint planning with an eye toward quality, feasibility, and long-term sustainability.
  • Write thorough unit, integration, and end-to-end tests as a first-class part of development driving towards a "build quality in" culture.
  • Expand automated QA coverage as a core team metric.
  • Resolve defects swiftly during QA, pre-production, production, and post-release phases.
  • Uphold and contribute to the team's Definition of Done (DoD).


Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience developing, maintaining, and innovating large scale web apps and services.
  • Strong experience with Java, Spring, and Hibernate server application, and its design patterns.
  • Strong experience with unit testing and Test-Driven Development (TDD).
  • Strong understanding of software design and architecture.
  • Experience with Agile Development, SCRUM.
  • Experience with relational database technology.
  • Experience with Spring Boot and Spring Webflux.
  • Experience with the Atlassian Tool Suite (Bitbucket, Jira, and Confluence) or similar.
  • Experience developing applications in AWS.
  • Experience with modern JavaScript web application frameworks is a plus.
  • Solid communication skills with demonstrated ability to explain complex technical issues to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Interest or experience in using AI to improve productivity in designing, building and testing software.
  • BS/MS in computer science or equivalent work experience

Benefits

  • Competitive Medical Benefits (PPO + HSA available)
  • Vision, Dental, Short-Term Disability fully covered by Cayuse
  • Unlimited PTO + Holidays + Flexible Work Schedule
  • Remote Work Stipend
  • Equal Paid Parental Leave
  • 401k with Employer Matching
  • Quarterly Wellness Reimbursement
  • Remote Work Environment, supporting the Ultimate Employee Experience
