Senior Software Engineer

TL;DR Kharon is seeking a full-time Senior Software Engineer based in New York City. This role requires in-office attendance at least 3 days a week.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

As the Tech Lead for our Growth team, you will own the design and delivery of internal applications and tooling that power our business intelligence capabilities. This is a "player-coach" role requiring a strong full-stack engineering foundation — you will be building production-grade applications while leading the direction for the squad. You will work alongside a Director of Data Analytics, QA/BA, and Director of Product, and cross-functionally with Marketing, RevOps, Sales, and Client Services.

• Application Development & Architecture: Lead the design and development of internal web applications used by business teams to understand customer usage, account health, and operational metrics. Own the architecture to ensure services are modular, scalable, and performant (React/Vue frontend, Python/Java backend).
• API Development & Systems Integration: Build and maintain integrations with third-party platforms (Salesforce, HubSpot, and others) via REST and GraphQL APIs. Design clean service boundaries and ensure reliable data flow between internal and external systems.
• Data Layer & ETL: Build and optimize pipelines to move and transform data into our warehouse. Implement robust schema designs for relational and graph databases. Experience with tools like dbt, Airflow, or AWS Glue is a plus — but the ability to architect the broader data layer matters more than tool familiarity.
• User Administration & Access Management: Provide technical leadership for internal and external user administration, ensuring secure, scalable, and intuitive account management.
• Team Leadership & Best Practices: Mentor engineers, conduct code reviews, and establish engineering standards around API design, documentation, testing, and CI/CD.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, with 2+ years in a technical lead or staff capacity
• Strong full-stack coding skills — Python or Java on the backend, React or Vue on the frontend — with production deployment experience
• Proven experience building and shipping internal tools or platforms, ideally supporting business teams like Sales, Marketing, or RevOps
• Solid SQL and relational database design skills; experience with cloud data warehouses (Snowflake, Databricks, or BigQuery) is a plus
• Experience building against third-party APIs, particularly Salesforce
• Comfortable with AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines
• Ability to translate ambiguous business requirements into a clear technical roadmap — this team is early and the problems aren't always fully defined

NICE TO HAVES:

• Experience with ETL tooling (dbt, Airflow, AWS Glue) or Medallion architecture
• Familiarity with LLM integrations or vector databases
• Graph database experience (Neo4j, Neptune)
• Background or interest in geopolitics, sanctions, or financial risk
