Senior Software Developer - Form

About the role

We have an immediate opening and are excited to find the right candidate to join our team. Safe Software is looking for a Senior Software Developer to join our Form team. As a Senior Software Developer, you will drive scalable, maintainable solutions; shape cross-team architecture and practices; and coach and empower other developers. This role has a strong security focus: hardening FME Form against memory-safety and dependency risk, and raising the security bar of the codebase and the team that works in it.

ABOUT THE TEAM

As part of the FME Form product group, you'll join a group of collaborative development teams composed of team leaders, developers, quality analysts, and student interns who work together as a team and alongside product managers and user experience designers, on complex technical projects that provide direct value to our users.

As a part of this close-knit and diverse team, you will work together with internal stakeholders to maintain and extend our flagship FME Form products that delight customers and empower them to author dataflows that can be shared, reused, and integrated with the FME Platform.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

As a Senior Software Developer, you will:

- Harden all areas of FME Form to be security sensitive. For example, eliminating classes of memory-safety defects rather than individual bugs

- Build and own the tooling that finds problems early: fuzzing harnesses, sanitizer and static analysis coverage, and compiler/runtime hardening in our build pipeline

- Drive, advocate and review threat modeling on shipped and upcoming features, and triage incoming vulnerability reports: assessing severity, scoping impact, and driving remediation

- Architect and guide the implementation of complex, high-impact product features and systems

- Lead cross-team technical initiatives, collaborating across departments to align on solutions and priorities

- Provide technical mentorship and coach to developers across all levels, promoting secure-coding skill development and knowledge sharing

- Champion best practices in software architecture, testing, security, and performance

- Identify and lead efforts to address technical debt, system reliability, and process improvements

- Represent technical and security perspectives in product planning, working closely with Product Management and UX

- Provide expert input during code and design reviews, ensuring high quality and maintainability

- Contribute to the evolution of Safe's development culture, standards, and tooling strategy
