Job description

Description:

Our engineering teams build modern, customer-facing software on a composable architecture using React, Next.js, Node.js, and AWS. We are continuing to strengthen both delivery execution and engineering excellence across the stack.


We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer who wants to contribute at a high technical level while taking on broader responsibility within the team. This role goes beyond implementing stories. It involves shaping solutions, reinforcing standards, and partnering closely with our Software Architect to elevate overall execution.


If you enjoy building high-quality software and influencing how a team works, this role offers meaningful ownership and growth.


What You'll Do

  • Design and implement production-ready features across the stack
  • Contribute significantly to front-end quality, maintainability, and craftsmanship
  • Partner with the Software Architect on solution design and technical direction
  • Help reinforce engineering standards around testing, performance, observability, and automation
  • Lead by example in code reviews and technical discussions
  • Take ownership of complex features from design through deployment
  • Share responsibility for maintaining technical quality and execution discipline within the team
  • Contribute to improving how the team delivers software, not just what it delivers


The Environment You'll Work In

  • Frontend: React, Next.js, Angular, TypeScript
  • Backend: Node.js, Java, REST APIs
  • Eventing: Kafka
  • Cloud: AWS (EC2, S3, CloudFormation, Lambda)
  • Tooling: Jenkins, Bitbucket, Jira, Dynatrace, Snyk, AI-assisted development tools
  • Platform: Composable microservices architecture with select Hybris-powered components
Requirements:
  • Strong full-stack engineering experience, with particular strength in front-end implementation and UI quality
  • Deep understanding of modern JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystems
  • Proven ability to design and implement scalable, maintainable features
  • Experience operating as a senior contributor within a sprint team
  • Confidence participating in architectural discussions and contributing design ideas
  • Comfort helping uphold standards and guiding peers toward stronger execution
  • Pragmatic thinking that balances quality, performance, and delivery speed

What Makes This Role Different

  • You will partner directly with a Software Architect rather than simply receiving designs
  • You will have meaningful influence over how solutions are built
  • You will contribute to shared technical leadership within the team
  • You will have opportunities to grow into broader technical ownership over time
  • Your impact will extend beyond individual tickets to team-level quality and discipline

What You Won't Be Doing

  • You won’t be limited to implementing tickets without understanding the broader design
  • You won’t be working in isolation from architectural discussions
  • You won’t be expected to “just code” without contributing to how solutions are shaped
  • You won’t be left alone to solve systemic challenges without support
  • You won’t be stuck in a narrow front-end niche without opportunities to grow across the stack

If you’re looking for a role where you can build great software while expanding your technical influence and responsibility, we’d love to talk.


What We're Offering


Compensation, benefits, and logistics

The anticipated salary range for this position starts at $125,000-135,000 annually, depending on experience and qualifications. This role is eligible for a performance-based bonus based on individual and company performance.

This position includes a comprehensive benefits package, which includes:

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Company-paid life insurance with additional voluntary coverage options
  • Disability insurance
  • Additional voluntary benefits
  • 401k match
  • Flex PTO
  • Paid Parental Leave
  • 30%+ discount on Pampered Chef Products and product giveaways

Pampered Chef follows a hybrid schedule in Addison, IL. The expectation is that employees be in the office on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday each week.
