The Person You are 

At ATOSS, we hire for both character and skill, seeking individuals who embody resilience, a pioneering spirit, and the passion to grow. 

We value those who: 

Think like entrepreneurs – taking ownership, pushing boundaries, and driving impact. 
Challenge the status quo – bringing fresh ideas and bold execution to the table. 
Thrive in change – seeing growth as a lifelong journey, both professionally and personally. 

The Role:

As a Senior Software Engineer in one of our Scrum teams, you will actively shape and evolve our enterprise product ASES in the Time & Attendance domain. Your team consists of ~10 people from our 150-person department.

Whether or not you grow into a leadership role or not, we are looking for senior engineers who demonstrate strong ownership, technical leadership and accountability for outcomes.

Why this role is exciting, impactful and challenging

This role goes beyond implementing features. You will work on a mature, mission-critical enterprise system with complex domain logic, long-lived codebases, and high expectations for correctness and stability. Your work directly supports the daily work and affects the incomes of hundreds of thousands of employees, making stability and reliability essential – and giving you the opportunity to create real, lasting value at scale. Decisions often have long-term impact and require balancing technical quality, business constraints, and delivery pressure. Success in this role requires a strong sense of ownership, the ability to navigate complexity, and the willingness to take responsibility for outcomes and not just code.
