At Synopsys, we drive the innovations that shape the way we live and connect. Our technology is central to the Era of Pervasive Intelligence, from self-driving cars to learning machines. We lead in chip design, verification, and IP integration, empowering the creation of high-performance silicon chips and software content. Join us to transform the future through continuous technological innovation. You are a Staff-level web engineer and technical leader who thrives in a small, highly effective team where individual ownership has clear, outsized impact. You operate with a high degree of autonomy, taking ideas from ambiguous problem statements through architecture, implementation, deployment, and long-term operational ownership. You set technical direction, raise engineering standards, and unblock teams through strong design judgment and pragmatic execution. You are equally comfortable shaping user experience with business stakeholders, aligning cross-functional partners, and diving deep with engineers on implementation details, performance, security, and reliability. This is a full-time role. Lead the design, development, deployment, and maintenance of enterprise web applications and services, with end-to-end accountability for outcomes. Drive architecture across the full stack (front-end, back-end, databases, cloud), ensuring scalability, reliability, security, and maintainability. Set and evolve platform patterns and best practices using the PANN technology stack and associated development frameworks. Partner with cybersecurity, engineering, product, and business teams to define strategy, translate needs into technical roadmaps, and deliver high-value solutions. Own complex workflow design and deliver intuitive user experiences that simplify sophisticated business processes.



Design and optimize relational and non-relational data architectures; guide data modeling standards and performance tuning practices. Lead development of AI-enabled capabilities (automation, analysis, content generation, knowledge extraction), including evaluation and responsible adoption. Establish and improve monitoring, alerting, SLOs/SLIs, incident response practices, and continuous improvement loops. Mentor engineers, review designs and code for quality and security, and raise the bar for engineering execution across the team. Accelerate delivery of critical internal platforms by setting technical direction and enabling consistent execution. Enable better decision-making through reliable access to organizational knowledge and high-quality data services. Shape the technical direction of a growing platform supporting strategic business initiatives, influencing architecture and long-term roadmap. Serve as a key technical leader in a small team where ownership, accountability, and impact are highly visible. Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or related field, or equivalent practical experience. Typically 8+ years building and owning production enterprise web applications (strong evidence of full-stack delivery, architecture leadership, and operational ownership may offset years). Deep experience with the PANN technology stack (PostgreSQL, Angular, NestJS,



Node.js) and modern web development frameworks. Strong experience using Prisma for data modeling, database access, and schema migrations at scale. Expert knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML, CSS, REST APIs, and modern application architecture patterns. Strong experience designing, developing, and optimizing relational and non-relational databases; hands-on PostgreSQL administration and performance tuning. deploying and managing web servers, load balancers, and reverse proxies (Nginx/Apache). Experience with cloud-based application development and deployment, including security and cost/performance tradeoffs. Strong experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and improving developer productivity through automation. Practical, production-oriented experience with AI technologies (LLMs, prompt engineering, RAG, knowledge extraction, automation workflows), including evaluation, safety, and quality considerations. Robust understanding of SDLC best practices, testing strategies, secure coding principles, and threat modeling. Experience integrating multiple systems through APIs, eventing, and data services; Strategic thinker who still enjoys hands-on implementation and can dive deep when needed. Customer-focused with a strong UX mindset and attention to workflow design. A mentor and technical leader who raises the bar for quality, security, and operational excellence. Results-oriented, focused on measurable business value and sustainable engineering practices. Our team develops platforms and capabilities that help scale cybersecurity, compliance, engineering, and business operations across the organization. You will work closely with a small group of technical and domai
