Sr. Software Engineer

Description

The Senior Software Engineer is responsible for designing developing testing deploying and supporting production-grade software products and shared platform capabilities within DNVs Digital & Transformation organization. This role sits within the Application Engineering section and contributes to the development and modernization of scalable web applications that support digital delivery across Energy Systems.

This role sits within the Digital & Transformation organization helping to advance how DNV performs Due Diligence Verification & Assurance and Renewables Certification work across Energy Systems.

This is not a project-based delivery or staff-augmentation role. Engineers are expected to develop deep product knowledge and remain accountable for the quality maintainability and operation of the software they build.

Working in close partnership with Product leadership Data & AI Engineering Solution Engineering Platform Reliability Solution Architecture and Platform Security & Compliance this role helps bring application capabilities data services AI-enabled features workflows and APIs into one cohesive platform and product experience.

The Senior Software Engineer designs builds tests deploys and supports scalable software across a modern full-stack multi-cloud environment. The primary application stack includes Python Django TypeScript React and related web technologies with cloud services spanning both AWS and Microsoft Azure. The role requires strong engineering fundamentals practical cloud experience and the ability to collaborate effectively across globally distributed teams.

This role supports custom software development application modernization and integration with low-code or hybrid development environments helping establish shared patterns APIs reusable components and maintainable application architecture across the platform.

This position can be located in our Toronto office presenting a dynamic hybrid schedule where employees will typically spend three (3) days per week working from either aDNV office or client location/site. Further details regarding role-specific requirements will be shared during the interview process**
