Senior Software Engineer II - Industries
Job Summary:
At Talkdesk, our Engineering team follows a micro-service architecture approach to build the next generation of Talkdesk, with vertical teams responsible for all the decisions under their services. Through our Agile Coaches, we promote agile and collaborative practices and pair programming and we won’t let a single line of code reach production without peer code reviews. We strongly believe that the only true authority stems from knowledge, not from the position and we always treat others with respect, deference, and patience.

Work independently as well as in small teams to develop the best product on the market

Develop and maintain microservices and APIs
Engage with the Product team and other engineering teams across clusters and Business Units to help to ensure the solutions the team is building are fulfilling all the requirements
Influence a growing team while acting as a technical guide—speaking conceptually, documenting architecturally, and being hands-on with code
Design scalable solutions using code to support business functions and product goals, navigating platform limitations effectively
Design and implement integrations between Talkdesk and external systems using APIs, middleware, and custom development, ensuring data integrity and security
