Senior Software Engineer - Indaiatuba/SP

As a Senior Software Engineer at John Deere in Indaiatuba/SP, you will design, develop, and deliver enterprise-scale software solutions using a modern and traditional software engineering technology stack. This role supports key initiatives aligned to Digital Mastery and AI as a Thought Partner, enabling scalable Copilot and AI-enabled experiences across the enterprise. 

This role emphasizes strong hands-on engineering, collaboration within agile product teams, and ownership of well-defined components and services. You will contribute to building secure, reliable, and scalable cloud-native applications while continuously improving engineering practices and software quality.

Main Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, and maintain full-stack applications aligned with established architecture standards using modern JavaScript- and Java-based technologies;
• Build and enhance React-based user interfaces and cloud-native backend services supporting enterprise Copilot and AI-enabled platforms;
• Apply established software engineering best practices;
• Contribute to system and component design discussions, focusing on scalability, performance, reliability, and maintainability;
• Ensure high software quality through Test-Driven Development (TDD), automated testing, code reviews, and CI/CD pipelines;
• Implement and follow DevSecOps practices, including secure coding, automated deployments, and infrastructure as code;
• Collaborate closely with product owners, architects, designers, and fellow engineers to translate business requirements into technical solutions;
• Actively participate in agile ceremonies, sprint planning, and retrospectives, contributing to continuous improvement of the team.

Skills You Need

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience;
• Advanced English (broad vocabulary, strong grammar, able to lead meetings, argue, negotiate, and conduct training sessions);
• Experience designing, developing, testing, and maintaining enterprise software solutions;
• Hands-on experience with either frontend or backend development;
• Experience with Front-End development using React or other modern JavaScript frameworks;
• Experience with Back-End development using Node.js and/or Java;
• Working knowledge of REST APIs and modern application architectures;
• Experience with at least one database technology (relational or NoSQL);
• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS preferred, but Azure/GCP acceptable);
• Familiarity with CI/CD concepts and automated testing practices;
• Ability to write clean, maintainable, and secure code and collaborate effectively within a team;
• Availability to work in a hybrid model, 3 times a week, in Indaiatuba/SP.

What Makes You Stand Out

• Experience working in agile or iterative development environments;
• Exposure to containerization concepts (Docker, Kubernetes, ECS, or similar), not necessarily hands-on expert-level;
• Interest in or basic exposure to AI-assisted development tools or Copilot-style experiences;
• Informal mentoring, pair programming, or code review participation;
• Experience contributing to shared components, services, or internal tools.
