With our three market leading businesses, world-class operations and investments in research and development, we offer capabilities and opportunity no one else can.

The following position is to join our RTX Enterprise Services team:

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to lead front-end development efforts across our web platforms. This role is primarily focused on building modern, high-performance user interfaces with React and Next.js, integrating with internal and third-party APIs, and providing ongoing support for our Sitecore-based CMS properties. The ideal candidate is a strong individual contributor who can architect scalable front-end solutions, mentor other engineers, and collaborate closely with design, product, and backend teams.

This is a senior-level role suited to someone who is comfortable owning technical decisions, working with some ambiguity, and balancing new feature development with maintenance of existing systems. Applicants should be prepared to demonstrate technical proficiency.

What You Will Do

• Design, build, and maintain performant, accessible, and responsive web applications using React and Next.js
• Architect and implement front-end integrations with RESTful and/or GraphQL APIs, including authentication, error handling, and data caching strategies
• Provide ongoing support for existing Sitecore implementations (e.g., component updates, content-authoring support, minor troubleshooting) — deep Sitecore development expertise is a nice-to-have, but not required
• Translate design mockups and product requirements into clean, maintainable, well-tested code
• Optimize applications for speed, SEO, and cross-browser/device compatibility
• Collaborate with backend engineers to define API contracts and ensure smooth end-to-end integration
• Participate in code reviews, and uphold best practices around testing, documentation, and CI/CD
• Mentor mid-level and junior engineers; contribute to front-end architecture and technical strategy
• Partner with UX/design and product management to shape the technical feasibility and scope of new features
• Troubleshoot and resolve production issues, participating in on-call rotation as needed

Qualifications You Must Have

• Typically requires: A University Degree Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field, or equivalent experience and minimum 10+ years of experience or an Advanced degree and 8+ years of experience
• 8+ years of experience with front-end design (markup, API) with 3+ years of hands-on experience with cloud platforms (Azure preferred, AWS acceptable)
• Strong understanding of IIS, Windows Server, and SQL Server administration and experience with DevOps practices and tools (Git, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, or similar) and proficiency in scripting languages (PowerShell, Python, or Bash)
• Knowledge of monitoring and logging tools (Application Insights, Splunk, ELK stack, or similar)
• Understanding of networking, security best practices, and compliance frameworks and excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work independently

Preferred Qualifications:

• Sitecore certification (Administrator or Developer)
• Cloud certification (Azure Administrator, AWS Solutions Architect, or similar)
• Experience with Sitecore containers and Kubernetes deployments
• Familiarity with CDN configuration and optimization
• Experience with headless CMS architectures and composable DXP
