#Software Engineer – Senior Engineer

Come work with us in beautiful and sunny San Diego on impactful web and platform development projects! 

The QCT Software Automation and Tools (QSWAT) group is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to help design, develop, test, and maintain web‑based and cloud‑hosted tools that form part of Qualcomm’s cloud‑based software automation and CI/CD ecosystem, enabling internal engineering teams to build, integrate, and release high‑quality software at scale. In this role, you will own and deliver moderately complex systems, collaborate across teams, and contribute to technical direction while remaining hands‑on. 

Role Overview 

As a Senior Engineer, you will work with a high degree of autonomy on the design, development, testing, deployment, and operational readiness of production systems. You will own and deliver moderately complex services and features end to end, solving open‑ended problems and making pragmatic technical decisions that balance quality, scalability, and delivery. 

Our team builds modern, AI‑enhanced applications following a microservices architecture with event‑driven, CQRS, and domain‑driven design patterns. You will work across the full stack — React/TypeScript monorepo frontends deployed via Kubernetes and CloudFront, .NET Core and Python backend services, SQL Server and Redis data stores, and AWS cloud infrastructure managed with Terraform. You will leverage AI tooling (e.g. MCP servers) to accelerate development and integrate AI capabilities (RAG, LLM APIs) into our platform. 

You will collaborate closely with engineers, product partners, and stakeholders across teams and geographic locations. As a senior member of the team, you will contribute to improving system architecture, development workflows, and CI/CD pipelines, and you will mentor junior engineers through example, code reviews, design discussions, and technical guidance — raising the overall engineering bar while remaining hands‑on. 

Responsibilities 

• Design, develop, test, and maintain moderately complex web applications and backend services in a cloud‑based environment 

• Own features or services end‑to‑end, including design, implementation, testing, deployment, and operational support 

• Break down ambiguous or loosely defined requirements into concrete technical solutions 

• Contribute to and review software designs, API contracts, and architectural decisions aligned with team patterns (microservices, CQRS, event‑driven architecture, DDD) 

• Build and maintain React/TypeScript frontend applications using the team’s validated stack (React Router v7 or TanStack Start, Vite, Jotai, TanStack Query, QUI component library) 

• Develop backend services in .NET Core and Python, applying design patterns documented in team standards 

• Design and optimize SQL Server schemas, queries, and data access patterns; leverage Redis for server‑side caching \

• Improve CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions), containerized deployments (Docker, Kubernetes, Helm), and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Terraform) 

• Integrate AI capabilities into the platform, including LLM APIs, MCP servers, RAG pipelines, and AI‑assisted development workflows 

• Implement observability using <
