About the role:

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who thrives at the intersection of software engineering and data. This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys building reliable, scalable software systems while working deeply with real-world data — integrating it directly into product workflows, improving its quality, and enabling new experiences powered by LLMs and automation.

You’ll work on the foundational software and platform capabilities that bring data into Vouch’s core product experience. You’ll collaborate with product engineering, analytics, and domain experts to design and build services, APIs, and workflows that power our distribution systems. This role requires strong product instincts and the ability to fill requirement gaps, propose solutions, and drive clarity across stakeholders.

This is a high-ownership senior engineering role where you will define and influence architecture, lead major technical initiatives, and exercise strong technical leadership across the team. You’ll help shape how data-powered services are designed, built, and integrated into the broader platform — all while working hands-on to deliver high-impact, production-grade systems.

If you love solving ambiguous engineering problems, designing resilient data-driven services, and partnering across teams to deliver meaningful product value, you’ll find this role both challenging and rewarding.

What You’ll Do: 

Build and integrate data-powered platform services

• Design, build, and maintain backend services and APIs (primarily Python and Nest.js/Node.js) that integrate data directly into product workflows.
• Develop shared libraries, SDKs, and developer-facing tooling used across engineering teams.
• Implement event-driven systems and workflow orchestration using tools like Temporal and Dagster.
• Build retrieval-augmented and LLM-integrated workflows that enhance product experiences through summarization, classification, validation, or agentic automation.
• Partner with product engineering teams to embed data services seamlessly into user-facing products.

Own data & platform integration across systems

• Integrate real-world transactional and operational data into software applications with reliability, quality, and performance in mind.
• Collaborate with data engineers to define and evolve data models, schemas, and interfaces that support platform and product needs.
• Improve upstream data quality and completeness by identifying issues, tracing root causes, and driving fixes.
• Build tools, guards, and checks to ensure data powering software workflows is accurate and trustworthy.

Drive cross-functional engineering impact

• Work with product managers, engineering leaders, a
