Software Engineer Job Description:
• Design and build internal tools and automation—including API linting frameworks, OpenAPI specification validators, code‐generation utilities, and workflow automation—to improve consistency, quality, and efficiency across the API lifecycle.
• Ensure developer experience is at the center of all software created, building intuitive, reliable, and friction‐reducing tools that empower API producers and consumers and simplify their workflows.
• Collaborate, coordinate, and align with technical stakeholders such as architecture, platform engineering, security, and API governance teams to ensure tooling meets enterprise needs and integrates seamlessly with broader technical ecosystems.
• Apply industry best practices to deliver secure, scalable, and maintainable solutions that align with Prudential's engineering, security, and compliance standards.
• Drive development activities from design through delivery, ensuring tools and services are released on time and effectively support both API producers and consumers.
• Champion code quality, implementing comprehensive unit testing, functional testing, and automated validation to ensure highly reliable solutions and fast feedback loops.
• Demonstrate engineering excellence, consistently applying high‐quality engineering practices—including clean code principles, strong testing strategies (unit, integration, functional), CI/CD pipeline integration, versioning discipline, and reliable automated deployment strategies—to ensure tooling is robust, maintainable, and production‐ready.
• Ensure all software created adheres to strong security principles, including secure coding practices, automated security scanning, vulnerability mitigation, and alignment with enterprise security standards—ensuring tooling is safe by design, safe by default, and safe in production.
• Support the tech lead in evaluating and shaping technical decisions, contributing insights and execution capabilities related to tooling, automation, and developer‐experience improvements.
