We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help design, build, and scale core web experiences and internal platforms that drive the AREA15 ecosystem. You'll work across modern React front-ends, robust APIs, data systems, and AWS infrastructure.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES:

• Build and scale web applications that support guest-facing and internal systems across AREA15's attractions, events, and digital platforms.
• Lead development in React and modern web architecture (component systems, state management, performance optimization, accessibility).
• Design and implement APIs (REST/GraphQL, event-driven patterns, auth, versioning, observability).
• Work with SQL and data models to support reporting, personalization, operational tooling, and analytics.
• Develop and deploy on AWS, using best practices for security, scalability, cost, and reliability.
• Partner with product, creative, venue ops, and marketing to translate real-world experience needs into durable software.
• Contribute to engineering standards, and code quality while still being highly hands-on.
• Prototype quickly and intelligently - knowing when to explore with speed and when to harden for production
• Demonstrate ART! (AREA15's service standards) in every guest interaction.
• Be available to respond to time-sensitive matters.
• Adhere to department and company policies and procedures.
• Maintain a professional, polished appearance in line with AREA15 standards.
