Top Software Engineer Jobs in Detroit, MI

Designs and guides application architectures, creates technical specifications and models, and ensures solutions meet enterprise standards for scalability, performance, security, and maintainability. Provides technical direction and mentorship to development teams, collaborates with enterprise and solution architects on integrations, reviews application quality, and evaluates development technologies and frameworks. Requires strong software architecture, database design, integration, documentation, and communication skills.

Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend services and APIs (Node.js, Firebase). Optimize performance, ensure code quality via reviews and unit tests, debug and upgrade systems, and contribute to frontend work as needed. Stay current on backend and Gen AI integrations and collaborate across the team.

Own end-to-end supplier integrations: design, implement, test, and monitor third-party APIs. Ship weekly, improve tooling and abstractions, ensure reliability, and mentor peers. Use AI-assisted workflows to speed integration development.

Build scalable simulation and planning systems for complex communications networks. Model hypothetical scenarios, allow users to vary configurations and assumptions, evaluate impacts, compare tradeoffs, identify risks, and integrate simulation capabilities into broader product workflows. The role involves full-stack engineering across design, development, testing, and operations, with emphasis on distributed systems, algorithms, network modeling, and computational reliability.

Build and operate AI agent systems with customer engineering teams, helping move prototypes into reliable production systems. Design agents, improve evaluations, monitoring, scaling, and reliability, and train customers on the Mastra framework. Translate recurring customer challenges into open-source framework improvements, fix performance issues, ship new primitives, improve code quality, and influence the product roadmap through production insights.

Lead an engineering team delivering automated month-end close pipelines for client accounting teams. Oversee ERP integrations, SQLMesh and DuckDB transformations, journal-entry outputs, controls, reconciliations, exception handling, and approval workflows. Maintain architectural boundaries across Elixir, Python, and platform components while converting bespoke client solutions into reusable capabilities. Manage technical roadmaps, multiple client engagements, engineering standards, and team development while partnering with accounting, delivery, technology, and product stakeholders.

Develop, test, implement, optimize, and maintain scalable software systems. Collaborate with product managers, designers, and engineers; troubleshoot technical issues; conduct code reviews; contribute to architecture decisions; follow secure coding practices; and participate in Agile ceremonies.

Build full-stack AI-powered video creation and collaboration tools, including rich multimedia interfaces, backend APIs, server-side processes, LLM-powered features, and conversational experiences. Work with generative AI, computer vision, and machine learning models in production. Improve system performance, reliability, and code quality while rapidly prototyping and delivering product features in a collaborative, high-ownership environment.

Design, implement, and operate features for Temporal’s open source distributed systems server. Solve challenges involving scheduling, task processing, workflow execution, persistence, quotas, visibility, and performance. Improve reliability through testing, observability, dashboards, alerts, runbooks, and documentation. Collaborate across engineering and product teams, participate in design reviews, contribute to developer experience, and mentor junior engineers.

Lead development of high-performance Rust parsers, compilers, automata, indexes, and data structures for structured language-model generation. Optimize decoding-loop performance through profiling and benchmarking, integrate Python bindings and C++/CUDA components into inference engines, collaborate across teams, and maintain production-quality code through testing and CI/CD.
