Job description

We’re looking for experienced engineers who are ready to drive technical initiatives, mentor team members, and deliver enterprise-level solutions. At Commerce Architects, we’ve spent over 16 years building complex systems for industry-leading companies, and we’re looking for senior engineers who can shape architecture, accelerate project delivery, and grow as trusted advisors to our clients.
 
Note: We're building our Talent Community for future opportunities at two levels: Senior Software Engineer I (SSE1) and Senior Software Engineer II (SSE2). Final placement will be determined during the interview process based on skills, experience, and leadership scope.
 
About the Role
As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll take ownership of large functional areas within client projects, lead feature design and implementation, and mentor engineers at varying levels. You’ll collaborate directly with clients, guide architectural decisions, and help establish engineering best practices. This is a full-time position requiring ~40 hours per week, with flexibility to accommodate occasional additional hours during busy periods.
 
Depending on your experience and level placement (SSE1 or SSE2), your responsibilities may include:
 
- Leading the design, estimating, and delivery of complex features
- Driving architectural strategy and shaping technical direction
- Mentoring and developing junior and mid-level engineers
- Leading major project work streams and breaking down large initiatives into actionable components
- Serving as a trusted technical advisor to clients, including executives and senior stakeholders
-Helping establish best practices and contributing to company-wide technical growth
 
Growth Path
At either level, you’ll gain the leadership expertise to guide distributed teams, the technical vision to influence enterprise systems, and the business acumen to align technical decisions with client goals.
 
Within 18–36 months, you’ll be on track to:
- Become a go-to expert in specialized areas, own production monitoring for critical systems, and grow as a technical strategist.
- Own complete project work streams, evaluate industry trends, and develop executive-level consulting and advisory skills.
 
What You’ll Need
Successful candidates will bring most of the following:
- 4–7 years of professional software development experience, with increasing levels of technical leadership
- Strong experience designing and delivering large-scale features and components
- Advanced knowledge of object-oriented programming and design patterns
-Proficiency with both SQL and NoSQL databases, including performance optimization
- Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, AWS CDK, etc.)
- Ability to decompose complex problems, delegate effectively, and drive solutions to completion
- Strong communication skills with technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Proven experience mentoring and supporting the growth of other engineers
- Consulting or client-facing technical experience (especially valuable at higher levels)
- Must be legally authorized to work in the U.S. on a full-time basis without requiring sponsorship now or in the future
 
A Typical Day
Your day might include:
- Leading a stand-up and unblocking teammates
- Designing and implementing a key system integration or microservice
- Coordinating with DevOps to improve CI/CD pipelines and cloud infrastructure
- Reviewing pull requests and mentoring junior developers
- Translating technical tradeoffs for clients in a way that informs business decisions
- Documenting architectural decisions to share knowledge with the broader team
- Taking a break for a foosball match or Nintendo Switch game in our office game room
 
What Sets Us Apart
While other companies may offer higher salaries or a narrow technical scope, at Commerce Architects, you’ll gain:
 
Autonomy to own technical delivery of large systems or projects
Influence in shaping solutions, technology choices, and delivery strategies
Breadth across technologies, stacks, and industries
Mentorship opportunities to develop others while advancing your own leadership
Balance between deep technical work, collaboration, and personal commitments
 
Benefits and Perks
100% health/dental/vision premium coverage (50% for dependents)
Flexible work location and schedule
Flexible Time Off
Safe Harbor 401(k) Retirement Plan
Profit Sharing bonus
Professional development support
Disability and Life Insurance
Family Leave Benefits
Regular team events and recognition program
Fitness reimbursement
In-office game room
 
Our Learning Environment
We believe in:
Developing technical leadership and strategic thinking
Building advanced consulting and client advisory skills
Cross-domain expertise and emerging technology exploration
Team mentorship and knowledge sharing
Recognition for technical excellence and leadership impact
 
Work Location
We offer flexible options! This role is available as a hybrid position based in Spokane, Washington, or fully remote for candidates in select states where we’re set up for employment operations. We evaluate each location on a case-by-case basis, so please note your state of residence when applying.
Senior Software Engineering positions offer premium compensation that reflects the exceptional experience and strategic technical leadership capabilities you bring. We recognize the significant value of proven expertise and client relationship management and are prepared to offer competitive compensation for candidates with the technical expertise and mentoring capabilities we're seeking.
